The clear winner of the Ernest Hemmingway look-alike competition at this wedding. Beard, pipe and the window light creating a nice catchlight in his eyes - too good to be true! Negative exposure compensation (EC) was required due to the predominantly dark tones in the shot.

With the sun low in the sky, and shining directly into my lens, the above exposure settings were a bit of a gamble. I employed negative EC to control highlights. Since the hotel was white, and therefore reflecting a lot of light back, I toned down the fill-flash.

1/500, f/1.4, ISO 200, +2/3 EV, 35 mm, 35mm f/1.4L
The window light behind Caroline was intense but, fortunately, she was also being lit by soft reflected light from a window to the right of the shot above. Hence EC of only +2/3 was required.

When the sun is strong, and not softened by cloud, I like to shoot in open shade. It's better to choose low-key, rather than bright, backgrounds to avoid detail being lost in blown-out highlights. In this case, however, Caroline asked for a quick shot with the hotel in the background. I dialled down the ambient exposure by one stop and then used flash to light them.

We've done a 180-degree turn relative to the previous shot and are now shooting with a dark background. Much better with no bright distractions.

1/250, f/2.8, ISO 100, -2/3 EV, Did not fire, 200 mm, 70-200mm f/2.8L IS
Having the post-ceremony drinks in the garden allowed me to use the 70-200mm medium telephoto lens - perfect for candids. The couple above have just booked me for their wedding next July!

Always beneficial to have someone on hand to umpire the proceedings!

We explored a few locations for the bride and groom portrait session. The rim-lighting on their faces caught my eye here.

I just held on to the highlights in her dress here and should have used a little bit more EC. I over-estimated the impact of the bright area in the background. Imagine what her dress would have looked like if I'd let the camera determine the exposure settings!

It's unusual to have a bride this relaxed in front of the camera. A modelling career beckons!
