Ever have one of those moments?
Sunday, November 30th, 2008One of the popular photographic features I provide at weddings is a small mobile photo studio. I shoot material for this after the wedding breakfast and it does yield some unexpected album and frame material. I must have shot literally thousands of very informal portraits this year. There are no rules, I may sometimes shout a word and see how people react, but apart from that I let people interact with me setting their own agenda; posh description of events for ‘let yer hair down!’ Some of my 2008 favourites…

Breathe Pictures summer weddings 2008
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008When I was say ten or eleven, my parents would buy me a diary every Christmas in which, come new year’s day, I would faithfully begin to keep every detail of my daily life as a pre-teen. 7.32 Awoke. Listened to Radio 1 until Simon Bates came on. That’s when Mum switches over to Jimmy Young. 9.07 Played outside with Robin from number 14, until he fell off his bike and broke his glasses again. 10.32 Had cup of tea. And so on. I’d religiously scribe in this thing until at least January 7th, when normal service would be resumed and comics overtook my literary needs once more. And so here I am in 2008, skibbly oodles of years later, still finding it hard to maintain the time to complete a daily journal entry, this time in the form of a blog. At least I have an excuse now, I like to feel. It’s been my busiest year yet in the wedding photography business. So, here’s the start of an entry which will grow undoubtedly. Some of my favourite Breathe images from the ’season’ just gone. More to follow…

I love an air of expectation at a wedding. Waiting in the morning.

People watching during the speeches should become an Olympic discipline, especially during long speeches. It does make for some great imagery though.

I like the unusual context with this one.
