Weddings can all be pretty similar on the outside but it is the nuances, small details and stories behind the couple and the day that set each one out on it’s own as a unique event.
Maybe the main difference in this wedding (and it is something we have done a few times) is that we did the bridal party photos before the ceremony. Sarah & Ben are a pretty laid back couple so when I suggested that we do it this way they were all for it, if we did it the traditional way because of time restraints we wouldn’t have been able to get the photos they wanted. A few other differences is they also had a large bridal party of 12 and all the girls wore a different coloured bridesmaids dress – which looked brilliant!
You can’t help but have fun with big bridal parties, the energy is contagious and it really shows in the photos I think, it does take longer to wrangle them into position but that’s half the fun sometimes.
I photographed Sarah’s sister Tatum’s wedding (check it out here) not long ago so it was great catching up with everyone again and capturing another part of the families history.
I think you get a real feel for the day looking through the photos.
