This page contains some more information on Wedding Photography by Brendan Lyon I photograph weddings in a range of styles, formal, informal, a mix of both, images may be in black and white, sepia, colour or "hand tinted". Some photographs are better suited to Black and White than others and that decision can be made at a later stage as all images are captured in colour in the first instance. I can cover the full day, starting with the preparations. Photographs from the morning of the bride getting ready are normally part of a storybook album and can make up several pages of the album. These shots would typically be unposed, in other words, photojournalistic or reportage images. I would also capture details that could be used as background images in the album, such as bouquets, the rings, personal objects, dress details, the shoes and so on. Some of these images may be posed, it's always nice to get family into some of the images before leaving for the ceremony.
Generally, the images from the ceremony are unposed. As the ceremony flows naturally, I capture those moments with a long lens without flash (unless we're in a really, really, dark place), so that way you don't even notice I'm there. Many a priest has complimented me on the fact that he's never even noticed me. I'm lurking in the background, focusing on the bridal party, getting the real feel for the ceremony. Traditionally, there is a posed shot at the signing of the register and I like to mix that with some of the natural images and close ups of the signing. Then there's the down the aisle image, which depending on the time of year, the weather and the light in the church, it's possible to do the group shot from the balcony, if it's there! This is always doen with the permission of the church and the priest. I let the newly married couple do the meet and greet outside unhindered and I would shoot some candid photographs at this point. When the meet and greet is done, then we'd do the group shot, subject to weather, space and the preferences of the couple. It's best to do the group shot at the church as once the guests get to the reception, it can be like herding proverbial cats trying to get them out of the bar and onto a terrace for a photograph! Then it's on to a nice location and or to the reception venue for some bridal party portraits and some family photographs. When those photographs are safely captured, I shoot a cake shot with the couple and typically, I leave just before the dinner. I can also cover the speeches and the first dances if required. I offer a variety of albums and styles to suit a range of budgets and I'll be happy to work with your budget and tailor a package specific to your needs and to your wedding. I invite people to come down to my studio, have a look at a few options, talk to me and see how I can add to your enjoyment of your day. There's no obligation on you if you come to my photographic studio and I would suggest that you meet your photographer before you make your mind up. It's not all about price and quantity. These are important factors, but you've got to consider quality, style, professionalism and personality as well. I will photograph you while you're getting married, unlike some other photogrpahers who act as if you're getting married while you're being photographed. There is a subtle distinction. I look forward to seeing you at my studio.
Thanks for reading this.
