Wedding Photography Hot Shot: Close Encounters

Wedding photographer: Steven Carter Hewson

Photo Title: Close Encounters

Photo details: This picture was taken at the destination wedding of Maria and Andreas at Piccolo Paradiso in Italy. The wedding had one of the most incredible light shows I have ever seen at a wedding. It was seriously dark though and I resorted to manually focussing here as the 5Dmk2 absolutely refused to focus in this low light. Shot with the 24mm at 1/80s, f/1.4, 6400 iso.

About the photographer: My aim is simple; to provide the most unique and beautiful collection of photographs telling the story of your special day. Photographs that will last a lifetime and beyond.

Photo Title: Confetti

Photo details: I took this photo at Trystan and Emma's wedding in Wales last year. It was one of those dark November grey days but there was just enough light to catch this as they exited the church. It's quie a slow shutter speed because the light was fading and when one of Trystan's ushers emptied a whole box of confetti over his head I was lucky enought to get the shot. I always prefer a spontaneous confetti throwing moment rather than a staged image.

The shot is available light and processed in Silver FXPro

Photo Title: In the field

Photo details: I took this image of Tamzin and Aaron at Prested Hall in Essex. They wanted a few shots away from their guests and on our visit to the venue before the wedding I suggested we grab a few minutes on the day to walk out into the fields to get this type of image. Tamzin remembered her wellies on the day which was handy as it was very wet and muddy underfoot! For this image I used a single flash with a radio trigger situated behind the couple on a light stand. I was shooting closer to them when I saw the potential of including Tamzin's bridesmaid and backed up to include her and more of the landscape to give the photo more depth and a greater sense of atmosphere.
