Cobham Hall is a wonderful venue for wedding photography. It's set in the most beautiful grounds.

The last of the spring flowers were on display.

The sun was very strong and contrasty (it was also very hot - it felt more like mid-August). HDR allows the full tonal range to be captured.

The groom awaiting the arrival of the bride. The hall used for the ceremony was stunning. I asked David the bursar not to turn on any of the artificial lights so that the scene was lit by window light only - this gave a much better quality of light and no mixed light sources to deal with in post-production.

SInce the light was so harsh I tried to place the sun behind my subjects.

I only had 10 minutes for the bride and groom portrait session but I'd already decided exactly what I wanted to do when I had my first look round the venue.

Under the protective canopy of the glade of trees there were lots of pockets of beautiful light to exploit.
