Wedding Photography | Lucy And Martin Gunn

It has been noted in an e-mail that I had received recently that the majority of work that has been posted on this photography blog consists of mainly personal projects. The blog seems to mainly be portraiture, travel blogs and things of that nature. So I have decided to place some of my wedding photography up on the site. As well as the e-mail a strong reason for this is because I am photographing a wedding in November in London. I have decided to show some of my wedding photography taken during the summer of this year.

The wedding that I have placed on this particular post is that of a wedding that I photographed in July of this year. The wedding and reception were in Sheerness on the Isle of Sheppey. The Isle of Sheppey is a small island situated in North Kent. I found the entire day even more interesting because I had never actually been there before.

For this wedding I was second photographer to Mike Allchin of Spikesfotos [I will place a link below]. But even though I wasn’t main photographer for this wedding I was happy with the shots that I produced.

I have to admit there is a strong lack of my wedding photography on the site and I will aim to rectify this whilst still placing up posts of portraiture work and so forth. One of the things that I have learnt from photographing weddings with Mike is how to control a crowd with seeming bossy. The shots on the beach were my favourite from the day.

For this wedding I used my Canon EOS 50D digital SLR and as a change of tact I used a combination of all three of my commonly used lenses for the canon. Usually I would only use the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 of a combination of the Canon EF 28mm f1.8 and the Canon EF 50mm f1.8 but on this day I decided to use all three. I also used a Nikon D80 with a 70-300mm lens on it as well as a back up camera but preferred the images I got from the Canon. I had my Canon Speedlite 430EX flashgun with me also that day but I find that although a flashgun is an essential piece of equipment for Wedding and Event photography I rarely use them. I have always preferred the photographs you get from using available light. That is just my own personal opinion on the matter.

I may continue using all three lenses in regards to future weddings. This is because, although it was more cumbersome, I felt that I had better control on deciding between the quality of the branded Canon lens over the versatility and focal range of the Sigma lens. As well as that I managed to have a lot of fun with this wedding. Which isn’t highly unusual as I find Weddings great things to photograph.

In this post I have included 14 photographs. You may have noticed that they have not been watermarked, this is because I am currently away from my own laptop and as such am unable to sufficiently edit the photographs. I may replace them with watermarked versions in the future. As you probably know, I have posted wedding material on this blog previously so in addition to the link to Spikesfotos I am also going to place links to the other wedding posts for your perusal.
