I’m making this my Friday Photo this week because I’ve always wanted to take photos in the 1970s and this is as close as I’m going to get to it!  As soon as I clicked the shutter I knew I had a photo that had something a little different about it.  The girl’s Clothkits-looking clothes, her bright whiteblonde hair and the yellowy gren taco concession stall behind, framing her, all work to create something that just feels it’s popped out of another era somehow.

The photo was from a wedding I shot last weekend.  ”Wedstock”, an amazing festival wedding in North Wales that I will be blogging in the near future.  Don’t miss it!

Here for your enjoyment and perusal is Richard and Adeline’s excellent Suffolk wedding.  It was very flattering that Richard booked me ahead of the date and venue.  Not to be smug about it, but, “Boom, in your face, Woodhall Manor, Woodbridge!  How you like me now?!”  No but seriously, it was a fantastic venue.  Albeit the darkest ceremonial room I’ve ever shot in.  Dark and arboreal and beautiful, but not easy to shoot in!  The whole day was a pleasure though, with Richard and Adeline being two of the nicest people you could meet.

Today’s photo was taken last week on my honeymoon on the Cornish coast.  The local fishermen described it as a perfect storm — no wind, no rain, yet larges waves rolled in and lashed the coastline.  It was a beautiful and romantic way to start married life.

I don’t know why I’m choosing this as today’s Friday Photo really.  I think I like the stillness of it.  The rich sky and the guests, framed by the window, marking the time like a sun-dial.  This was taken as the bride was getting into her dress, nerves starting to build, and it made me think about the way no one really knows what anyone else is going through, even a few feet away.

This was the third wedding I’ve shot at Stoke Newington Town Hall, and the second wedding in a row that’s gone on to The Peasant pub for their reception.  There’s something very relaxed about both venues — even the Town Hall with it’s Art Deco splendour manages to feel intimate and inviting somehow.  The mood of both places also perfectly suited Luke and Louise who make a very charming, easy-going couple.  The day took place at the end of March, in an early heatwave, so it’s a Spring wedding that looks for all the world like a Summer wedding.  Except where the setting sun hits the guests in the eyes three hours early.

Here are the photos.  Click to enlarge and whatnot…

This was a fantastic wedding from start to finish and I was tempted to put up one of the ‘rockaoke’ shots from the end of the night as today’s Friday Photo.  But I’m going to hold those back for the blog proper.  This is a shot of Wolfie, who gave his cousin Nicky away, standing outside the flat, learning his lines beneath Fulham’s dark and lowering skies.
