After publishing my last wedding blog of Chris & Kate’s wedding, I felt that I probably posted too many ‘posed’ pictures. I use the term ‘posed’ loosely because the only set up part is a mere suggestion, the rest is down to the couple. None the less, I have decided to insure this week that I choose a fair selection and reflect my ‘non-posed’ style with the odd ‘posed’ picture of the couple where convenient.
I recently sat down and flicked through a recent wedding I photographed and well over 80% of the final pictures given to the couple had very little involvement from myself. A good photographer and friend of mine once said ‘all I do, is make what you do, look good’ and I feel this is fitting for what I am trying to say. Therefore less than 20% of the pictures my clients receive are ‘posed’, obviously this would vary slightly depending on the communication I receive from the couple and what is planned with them for the day. However the principle remains.
Anyway, without any further distraction from the picture content here, these are a few pictures from a wedding last weekend of Greg & Jen at Leigh Court (http://www.leighcourt.co.uk) near Bristol. The mix of French and English quests (Greg being French born) was a great laugh, especially when it came to the multi linguistic speeches and a challenge during the group pictures.
