Wedding of Ollie & Jess (Part 8 – Shooting the details)

A wedding is a very large event that is often the combination of months of planning. While a lot of focus goes onto the major activities of the day it is also important to capture the detail. Often this is small things that may mean a lot to the couple.

During the course of the day I will find time to go and capture some of these details. Whether it is the rings the flowers or decorations. In some cases a lot of time and effort has gone into these. So it is important that they form part of the record of the day.

During the times that I meet with the couple I will find out if anything special is being included on the day. Ollie & Jess told me that they had a table at the reception with photos of relatives who had passed. Therefore it was important to record it.

The cake may also contain additional decoration, or there may be things made for guest to take away.

For these shots more often use a macro lens it enables me to get close and it’s super sharp.

Ultimately none of these shots are likely to be printed but they help weave the overall story of the day.
