Little Silver Hotel Wedding Photos

My website: Wedding Photographers in Kent

A selection of images with EXIF data from Nichola and Andrew's wedding, photographed last Saturday at The Little Silver Hotel in Tenterden. Please check out their wedding gallery.

1/250, f/1.8, ISO 400, 0 EV, 35 mm, 35mm f/1.4L

The ladies were on top form when I joined them in the bridal suite. There was an empty bottle of champagne on the table....

1/200, f/2.8, ISO 400, +1/3 EV, 35 mm, 16-35mm f/2.8L II

A bit different!

1/500, f/2.5, ISO 200, 0 EV, 85 mm, 85mm f/1.2L II

Nichola's sister had a very expressive face and I didn't need to wait long to get this. I tried to use natural light wherever possible.

Nichola told me that she didn't like having her photo taken when I first met her - does it show?Probably 80% of English brides say the same.

1/125, f/3.5, ISO 400, 0 EV, 35 mm, 35mm f/1.4L

Since they were moving about I stopped down to f/3.5 to give a bit of forgiveness with focus.

1/125, f/3.5, ISO 800, 0 EV, 0 FEC, 23 mm, 16-35mm f/2.8L II

The light level outside had dropped significantly and I couldn't position them all in the small area of good light in the room. Time for some diffused flash.

1/1250, f/2.8, ISO 250, -1 EV, 200 mm, 70-200mm f/2.8L IS

Over to the 70-200mm medium telephoto lens for candids. Notice the negative exposure compensation (EC) due to the predominantly dark tones in the image.

1/1250, f/2.8, ISO 250, -2/3 EV, 148 mm, 70-200mm f/2.8L IS

1/80, f/2.8, ISO 1600, 0 EV, 0 FEC, 27 mm, 16-35mm f/2.8L II

The light in the ceremony room was poor and so I had to use diffused flash. It's relatively discreet - I've never had a complaint from registrars.

She was in a nice area of soft window light.

1/320, f/1.8, ISO 1000, -1/3 EV, 85 mm, 85mm f/1.2L II

1/100, f/6.3, ISO 400, -1/3 EV, 35 mm, 16-35mm f/2.8L II

Most hotels have a regular spot that they use for the big group shot. It invariably means hanging out of a first floor window.

The lawn was so damp that I had to position the groups on a hard surface. The ladies shoes were getting stuck in the mud!

1/500, f/1.8, ISO 200, -2/3 EV, 35 mm, EF35mm f/1.4L USM

Again, notice the negative EC.

Andrew was very uncomfortable in front of the camera but by giving him a bit more space during the portrait session we managed to get a few good shots.

1/320, f/1.2, ISO 400, -2/3 EV, 85 mm, 85mm f/1.2L II

A few candids before the guests went in for dinner.

Comments and queries are most welcome.
