Possibly not the best weather for a wedding this Saturday, it poured all day and my wedding was at Polhawn Fort, which is a lovely venue, but is a very tough place to shoot and keep the ambience of the building within the image.
All in all everyone had a great day despite the rain, here are a few images from the day.
I have just returned from one of the best workshops I have ever been to. Last year Huy Nguyen came out with me on a wedding and from that day I was hooked by his ability to shoot weddings. Huy runs a workshop in Dallas, Texas where participants are given 2 day assignments with the aim of capturing outstanding images in environments that are well outside of our comfort zones. My assignment was the Dallas Skatepark, the largest free skatepark in America. The night before we had gone there just as an exercise in shooting, and whilst we were there a really ugly fight broke out between a few of the skaters. Little did I know then that I would have to spend 2 days and most of the night with these guys.
Its an experience I will never forget and here are some of the images I captured.
Special thanks to Huy Nguyen, Tyler Wirken, Ben Chrisman ( the new WPJA photographer of the year, well done Ben), Erin Adams, David Murray (a legend) and all those who helped me get through the four day seminar.
