Don't worry about wedding day weather
Jo had her heart set on those beautiful fading sun golden hour photos you get just before sunset. So we had planned this in for the right time, but when that time came their little baby (just four months old) was struggling, he wanted cuddles and feeding and by the time he was settled the sun had dipped below the horizon.
For each wedding I always bring along all my equipment and said (imagine me in a superhero stance!) “don’t worry I will recreate it”.
Let me introduce Harry and Jo and let you in on a bit of a secret. That’s not actually the sun!
Whaaaaatttt (i couldn’t work out how to add gif’s to a blog post so that’s the best i can do!
Let me Explain
Before each wedding I plan some of my shots. I ask my clients to create mood boards and fill out a questionnaire so I can really get to learn what they love about photos and how they want their wedding photos to make them feel. Jo had her heart set on those beautiful fading sun golden hour photos you get just before sunset.

Jo was so heartbroken
For each wedding I always bring along all my equipment and said (imagine me in a superhero stance!) “don’t worry I will recreate it”. So I set up a flash, i added a warm gel to the front of the flash and added a sphere to diffuse the light. That was all placed behind the couple and I got down low and started shooting. As i was shooting and checking the exposure I could see how gorgeous they were looking. If someone else took this - i wouldn’t have a clue it wasn’t the real sun.
So never worry about the weather or if things don’t quite go to plan - as long as you have a photographer who can deal with any situation then you can still get the photos you dreamed about.
The Great Barn Aynho wedding photographer
The hottest Easter ever recorded in the UK - it just so happened to be on this wonderful wedding day. There are so many hidden gems at this venue - the buggy ride to the lake was definitely worth it, there was some fantastic light there and some beautiful tranquil spots just to relax in for a few minutes.
Kelly and Harry were a fantastic couple to photograph - they made my job easy, they were always so relaxed and natural with it it, it complimented my style so well. I really hope you guys love the gallery - I will have many fond memories of your day and i hope you do too.
