Alice & Melly's wedding


There were three things about Alice and Melly's wedding which were different to all the other weddings I've done before...
  1. I worked with Motiejus, my new assistant photographer, who turned out to be fabulous. Not only was he extremely helpful on the day but he also has the necessary sensitivity to take some beautiful photographs. It's actually harder than you think to find an assistant photographer who not only has the right temperament but also a style of photography which complements my own.
  2. I've been experimenting with a new retouching technique which makes the photograph look more vintage. It's something I've been wanting to do for some time but it was only when Motiejus suppplied some of his images like this that I felt I had to learn how to do it myself! So you'll see a mix of images here some with the effect and some without.
  3. I was violently sick at the reception! Not because I'd been knocking back the champagne I hasten to add but because I ate one of the oysters and paid the price! Fortunately, it was towards the end of the night so no harm done but if it ever happens again at least I know Motiejus would be able to cover for me.
Apart from that slight 'hiccup' it was a fabulous wedding. Alice and Melly were both great and totally relaxed on the day. And the sun shined all day.
