A selection of images from Kirsty and Simon's wedding, photographed at The Bell Hotel in Sandwich. Please check out their wedding gallery.
1/100, f/1.8, ISO 400, 0 EV, 35 mm, 35mm f/1.4L
I joined the groom and some of the guests in the pub before the wedding. I found a nice pool of window light to photograph the wedding rings.
1/60, f/1.8, ISO 1600, 0 EV, 35 mm, 35mm f/1.4L
And then the groom. I used flash for most of the interior shots in the pub but liked the side-light where he was sat in the shot above.

The ceremony room was very dark - primarily candles and a few tungsten lights turned down low. If I were to have properly exposed for ambient light I'd have required an exposure of 1/15, f/2.8, ISO 6400. My upper ISO limit is typically 3200, so I dialled this into the camera in manual mode and then set the lens to its maximum aperture and chose 1/50 as the shutter speed (enough to keep people sharp unless they start getting too excited!) This meant I was over 2-stops underexposed. I then used a 580EX II Speedlite in E-TTL mode, softened with a Lastolite micro Apollo mounted on a custom bracket, to light the couple.

Same settings as previously. I did not gel the flash in order to capture the cosy atmosphere.
1/50, f/2.8, ISO 3200, 0 EV, 0 FEC, 19 mm, 16-35mm f/2.8L II
I held the camera above my shoulders for this one.
1/50, f/2.8, ISO 3200, 0 EV, 0 FEC, 21 mm, 16-35mm f/2.8L II
1/50, f/2.8, ISO 2000, 0 EV, -2/3 FEC, 35 mm, 16-35mm f/2.8L II
For the candids I switched to off-camera flash, with a 580EX II Speedlite fitted with a StoFen in my left hand and a 5D Mk II with ST-E2 in my right.
1/50, f/3.2, ISO 2000, 0 EV, +2/3 FEC, 35 mm, 16-35mm f/2.8L II
Back to the micro Apollo for shots outside.
1/13, f/2.8, ISO 2000, 0 EV, +1 FEC, 21 mm, 16-35mm f/2.8L II
1/50, f/1.8, ISO 3200, +1/3, 35 mm, 35mm f/1.4L
I decided not to use flash for the group shots. I'd have required at least two flashes to evenly light everyone so used ambient light only.
1/80, f/2, ISO 2000, 0 EV, 35 mm, 35mm f/1.4L
