Photographing Weddings
My main work is as a magazine photographer. - But that doesn't mean that I don't do weddings.- The first wedding I photographed privately was a famous rock musician's..I learnt that I hadn't been chosen for my skills as a photographer. But because I'd been recommended as being trustworthy. This was a private wedding and the pictures were simply for friends and family. -Which is usually the case...
Throughout my career I have always loved photographing weddings. I like to photograph in an unobtrusive, reportage way. Often in black and white. They are always wonderful occasions with lots of unexpected drama and memorable moments. A journalist acquaintance was surprised to see me at a wedding in upstate New York. He quietly confirmed that it was a union between mafia families.- Luckily the bride's mother was delighted with the pictures.
Best of all is England with its ancient churches and buildings. The soft light is beautiful. A sense of tradition often with a twist. If it is windy or rains that can be part of the fun and often produces the best pictures..
