Wedding Photography From A Boutique Wedding in Buckden Cambridgeshire
I felt as though I was amongst friends as I photographed the ‘boutique wedding’ of Gemma and Simon. Having previously photographed Gemma’s brothers’ (also Simon!) day in Cambridge a couple of years ago, I already knew many of the family guests and had in fact also done a lifestyle portrait shoot for Heidi, Gemma’s sister – so very much a family affair!
With the ceremony held at a small church in Holywell and celebrations held at the Cambridgeshire venue The George Hotel in Buckden it gave me an opportunity to capture shots around Holywell and Buckden bringing a bit of ‘paparazzi’ to the day. One of the things that I love being able to do is to combine documentary wedding photography with a ‘walkabout’ for the couple. You can get great interaction between the bride and groom and onlookers; even the most hardened of critics can’t fail to be softened temporarily by the sight of a happy bride and groom, and the shots of Gemma chatting to staff at the village boutique embody the spirit of the day – fun, laughter and happiness
For me, my photography is absolutely about documenting the day as it unfolds; not forcing the pace or the action but capturing the anticipation, the preparations, ceremony and celebrations naturally.
What I aim to give my clients is the opportunity to relive remembered moments and indeed enjoy those they have forgotten or weren’t aware of in the hustle and bustle of the day itself. Importantly I want them to be able to recapture the emotion of the day; when a bride sheds a tear at the first sight of an image of her and her father walking to the church or a groom catches his breath when he sees an image of that moment just as the bride finishes her preparations and is ready to meet him at the church then I know that I have done my job and achieved my own personal goal as a photographer……
