Lympne Castle wedding photographer
A rather stormy day for a wedding! But the rain was kind enough to stop just before the ceremony, and with a castle and very smiley bride, you can’t really go wrong. The wedding of Louise & David at the fabulous Lympne Castle in Kent.
30mph winds also make for fab confetti shots …
Grace & Mark
The weather wasn’t entirely cooperative, but that’s what wet-weather plans are for! We managed to find some sunny intervals before the wedding, and afterwards the guests hung out in a summerhouse until the rain eased off enough for the guest shots. Grace & Mark were then kind enough to brave a thunderstorm with just an umbrella and willow tree for shelter for the bridal portraits …
Major net loss
A friend’s recent experience in Spain prompted me to prepare this first-aid manual page …

I love trying new types of photography, things I’ve never done before, so when I was asked to shoot a figure-skating gala I happily agreed. I expected light levels to be low, but as a wedding photographer shooting with a D3 and fast glass, low light levels hold no fear! I then sought advice on a sports photography forum. Those uninterested in technicalities can skip the italics. For those interested, I opted to shoot in manual mode with a shutter speed of 1/400th to freeze fast-moving skaters, and an aperture of f/4 to get both face and body in focus while blurring backgrounds. That gave me an ISO of around 2000, which is no problem for a D3.
After that, it was just a question of learning on the job – and learning quickly! Each performance was only 90 seconds in length, and the skaters were fast! Very fast. But with a fast shutter speed, all was well, and I quickly got the hang of things. As the skaters were all girls, and the parents have asked for the full gallery to be password-protected, I can only share photos from one skater, whose father kindly gave permission.
