I've got almost 100 wedding galleries on my website now. To make it easier for clients to search I've just started creating custom pages for popular venues. They contain a bit of information about the venue and links to weddings shot there. Here are the first few to check out:

Wedding Photography at Buxted Park

A small selection of images from Naomi and David's wedding at Buxted Park Hotel in East Sussex with EXIF data. To see more of their wedding photos please check out their wedding gallery. The couple were great fun to work with and hopefully that shows in the following shots.

1/250, f/4, ISO 400, -1 EV, 35 mm, 35mm f/1.4L

The comment that provoked this laughter would not be suitable for polite company. Notice the negative exposure compensation (EC) to account for the dark tones in the image.

1/80, f/1.6, ISO 1000, -2/3 EV, 85 mm, 85mm f/1.2L II

The bride and her entourage were on top form when I arrived - very 'jolly'.

1/50, f/2.8, ISO 1600, +4/3 EV, 25 mm, 16-35mm f/2.8L II

Light levels in the ceremony room were low and with the backlighting I needed to add plenty of positive EC. I only use flash during the ceremony as a last resort.

1/250, f/2, ISO 1600, 0 EV, 35 mm, 35mm f/1.4L

A little fit of the giggles occurred during the ceremony - the bride was still 'jolly'.

1/160, f/2.2, ISO 2000, -1/3 EV, 35 mm, 35mm f/1.4L

1/50, f/2.8, ISO 800, 0 EV, +1 FEC, 16 mm, 16-35mm f/2.8L II

I used a 580EX II, softened with a Lastolite micro Apollo, mounted on a flash bracket for this shot.

1/200, f/2, ISO 1000, 0 EV, 35 mm, 35mm f/1.4L

I manged to lure everyone out into the cold for the group shots. Light was falling fast though.

1/125, f/2, ISO 800, +2/3 EV, 35 mm, 35mm f/1.4L

No flash for this one so I used positive EC to take account of the sky.

1/40, f/2.8, ISO 1600, 0 EV, 35 mm, 16-35mm f/2.8L II

A quiet moment before the wedding breakfast.

1/60, f/2.8, ISO 1600, 0 EV, 0 FEC, 31 mm, 16-35mm f/2.8L II

No wedding would be complete without a shot of the cake-cut!

Wedding at Buxted Park Hotel

My website: Wedding Photographers in Kent


The 2010 wedding season got off to a fine start last Friday with Naomi and David's wedding at Buxted Park Hotel in the Ashdown Forest, near Uckfield, in East Sussex. There was still plenty of snow on the ground but we nevertheless braved the outdoors for the group shots and bride and groom portrait session. I rarely venture outside of Kent for wedding photography but when it's a venue as fine as this it makes the extra journey time more than worthwhile!
