A selection of images from Lauren and Chris' wedding, photographed on Saturday at Broome Park in Barham, near Canterbury. Please check out their wedding gallery.
HDR (-2, 0, +2), f/8, ISO 200, 35 mm, 16-35mm f/2.8L II
HDR (-2, 0, +2), f/8, ISO 200, 28 mm, 16-35mm f/2.8L II
A couple of high dynamic range (HDR) shots to start. Great for capturing cloud detail.
1/125, f/8, ISO 200, -2/3 EV, 16 mm, 16-35mm f/2.8L II
Winter light can be fabulous - even at midday! The sun is low in the sky and so subjects are not top-lit.
1/500, f/1.2, ISO 200, 0 EV, 85 mm, 85mm f/1.2L II
The bridal preparation room was beautiful with lovely big windows and light-coloured walls(bouncing soft light everywhere). I had to draw one set of curtains to prevent Lauren from being directly lit by the sun.

If only all preparation rooms looked like this!

Lauren was very relaxed in front of the camera and had a lovely smile. Notice the negative exposure compensation (EC) to compensate for the dark tones in the image.

Lauren and her daughter Ella. Grandma was standing just behind me to attract Ella's attention.

Notice how the light levels dropped off away from the windows. Light quantity was low but light quality was high.
1/2500, f/1.4, ISO 100, 0 EV, 35 mm, 35mm f/1.4L
And now the exposure values next to a window.
1/100, f/4, ISO 1600, -2/3 EV, 25 mm, 16-35mm f/2.8L II
I dialled in neg EC here to prevent too much burn out due to the strong lighting.
1/100, f/2.8, ISO 1000, -1/3 EV, 16 mm, 16-35mm f/2.8L II
Again, I had to pull the main curtains in the room to prevent the couple being illuminated directly by the sun. It was a little bit of a battle with the registrars who wanted to leave the curtains open - this would have ruined all the ceremony shots! Here the couple are illuminated by lovely soft light from side windows.
1/125, f/2.8, ISO 1000, -1/3 EV, 35 mm, 16-35mm f/2.8L II
Yet again, quantity of light low, quality of light high.
1/400, f/2, ISO 800, 0 EV, 85 mm, 85mm f/1.2L II
After the ceremony was complete I opened the curtains as the sun was no longer shining directly in. The rim lighting from this window on Lauren caught my eye.

1/100, f/6.3, ISO 800, -2/3 EV, 35 mm, 35mm f/1.4L
A set of steps outside is perfect for the group shot of all the guests.
1/200, f/2.5, ISO 100, -5/3 EV, -2/3 FEC, 35 mm, 35mm f/1.4L
The ambient light was underexposed (to keep a bit of detail in the sky) and the couple lit by softened flash (also dialled down because of the dark background).
1/160, f/1.6, ISO 400, 0 EV, 35 mm, 35mm f/1.4L
This was taken after the sun had set. The quality of light was just breathtaking.
1/160, f/1.4, ISO 400, 0 EV, 35 mm, 35mm f/1.4L
1/80, f/1.2, ISO 2500, 0 EV, 85 mm, 85mm f/1.2L IILight levels inside were quite low. I took candids using purely available light (as above) and using off-camera flash.
