This week I have chosen an image from my May Wedding, with Adam & Sheena, Wigan, U.K. This is generally because I sold some images from this wedding only last week and it reminded me of how many beautiful images I captured so I wanted to share some more of them and complete the sequence. This image was taken shortly after the confetti throwing and the brides brother, who had come from California to be with his sister on her wedding day, was also photographing the event. He preferred to create ‘set up’ shots and in this photograph, I was aware that this was about to happen, so I ran into the building and to an upstairs window were I captured him leading his sister off to pose for some pictures. For me, it was just as important to capture these events as any other, especially with the relationship of the bride and brother photographer, who obviously was not in any of the family portraits he set up (except that is, when I stood in for him with his camera!) I do try to look at things differently when I’m photographing such events but what I see and capture is definitely driven by the people and surroundings of each individual wedding.
