Natasha and Richard

Despite recurring illness, in the form of a very nasty sinus infection, I have actually managed to do something I didn't think would happen any time soon and I have shot my first wedding!

It took me a while to get into the swing of things, I'm a little rusty when it comes to reportage-style shooting, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The whole day was a lovely, intimate affair with just the nearest and dearest making it nice and low pressure for me.



































I shot about 500 frames in total and got just under 200 I felt worth tidying up and these are the best from that lot. Pretty low hit rate compared to what I’m used to but it is very different to anything I’ve done in the past.

Very glad I took two camera bodies with me, changing lenses would have been such a pain! Tele on one and wide on the other, I never got the 50mm 1.8 out in the end but that was in the bag too. There were several moments I would have missed if I hadn't been able to just grab the other camera. Can really appreciate what a team the 24-70mm 2.8 and the 70-200mm 2.8 are now, that wider aperture would have been appreciated when we were indoors as well. Had a few issues with noise levels with the indoor shots as it was rather dark.

Generally feeling quite good about how I did on wedding No.1 (hopefully of many), ready to keep going and learning that's for sure!
