Emily & John | Wedding

December 13, 2009 · 16 Comments

After my little break, I couldn’t have wished for a nicer wedding than Emily and John’s to get me back into the swing of things. Winter weddings are always a bit of challenge when it comes to available light and the weather in general, and this one certainly wasn’t an exception. The ceremony of Emily & John’s wedding took place at Woodstock Town Hall in Oxfordshire, at 3pm. The sun set at 3.35pm. And let me tell you, when the sun sets outside of London, it actually gets dark. Like really dark. :D Despite the darkness, and the constant rain, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed recording the warm atmosphere of this wedding. The reception, at The Great Barn in Aynho, had such a joyous and christmassy feel to it that I felt compelled to put my own Christmas decorations up the very next day!

Thank you so much Emily & John for letting us share your gorgeous and fun wedding day with you!

    Oh I LOVE them-the tones are perfect and the details, as ever are so reflective of a beautiful day. Fantastic job, especially seeing as it would've been so dark at 3pm-you are such a pro.

    Beautiful work as always – you always get the best detail shots. And holy cow, are those high heels! Was she wearing them all day?

    I like them all, but I ADORE the last three. She was such a stylish bride! Not everyone can pull off those short dresses, but she rocked it! You did too! Great job mastering the darkness!

    That dress is HOT!!! So cool she went short, the bubble off cut is so eccentric too.
    Great job on the imagery. Some very unique shots in the series.
