A selection of images from Kim and Edward's recent wedding at St Margaret's Church, Rainham and the Bridgewood Manor Hotel, Chatham. Please check out their wedding gallery.
1/400, f/4, ISO 200, 0 EV, 35 mm, 16-35mm f/2.8L II
A very strong contrast scene. RAW can just about handle the dynamic range. The policeman behind the groom and best man was part of the wedding!

I always look for a 'natural' setting to get a shot of the rings. I haven't managed to lose any yet! Notice the negative exposure compensation (EC) in the shot above.

I shot a few candids whilst waiting for the bridal party.

1/160, f/2.8, ISO 800, +1/3 EV, 115 mm, 70-200mm f/2.8L IS
The vicar asked me to stand at the end of the aisle so it was out with the medium telephoto lens.

I always enjoy it when the bride and groom introduce a little levity to the signing of the register.

Notice the extreme amount of neg EC to deal with the predominantly dark tones in the image. If I'd let the camera determine exposure a dress would have been pure white - not what you expect from a professional.

They received the red carpet treatment on arrival at the hotel. I added diffused flash here as they were backlit and very little light was being reflected back on their faces.

I managed to get a few candids at the hotel using natural light before having to use flash.

We took these during twilight and the quality of light was beautiful. Unfortunately it was also freezing cold!

Canon EOS 5D Mark II with ST-E2 in right hand, 580EX II Speedlite with StoFen diffuser in left hand. It's a nice way of approximately directing your flash light to give a key light but also getting plenty of light bounced back from other directions as fill light - it approximates to a bare bulb flash. It also means that you can avoid flash light on those standing close to you who may not be the subject of the shot.
Another shot using the above set-up t0 give a butterfly lighting type effect.
