Chris + Vicki at Greenwich Naval College

by Graham on 12.Feb.2010

You know when you're halfway through a wedding and it's going well and the photos are going to be awesome, happens to me all the time, ha ha. Anyway, this is one of those. A little bit stressful at times, very busy, very enjoyable and a bride and groom that are happy to give up some time and get involved in the process. Enjoy.

I actually ended up taking too many great shots of the groomsmen

I also got some opportunist shots with Chris' Dad outside a pub next to the church

The picture of Vicki on her Dad's arm is simply stunning

Wow....

Greenwich Naval College was originally built to be a hospital and there are tunnels running between buildings

This is how to end a night

One of the challenges for any winter wedding in the UK is the lack of light, it was additionally fun at the naval college because any light that was present was very orange. A bit of pre-planning, some orange filters and lots of lights sorted the problem out and the family portraits wouldn't look out of place on the mantelpiece at Buckingham Palace.

Canon cameras are pretty hardy, I found that out the hard way. Having a camera fall 5ft on to a marble floor, lens first, is not enjoyable half-way through a day. We have backup cameras but nothing beats the feel of your favourite. If you have an SLR camera I'd recommend a lens hood, if nothing else they work a decent shock absorbers.

The band in the evening was Captain Redeye and the Hoods, a nine piece swing band, they were excellent and very highly recommended.

p.s. I have a list of future posts as long as my arm I'm just being very poor at getting them up on the site, look out for our second December wedding and a post with photographic tips for brides.
