wedding season

I ended up attending parts of two Roma weddings today in Istanbul, which was fascinating. The language barrier was probably a blessing though when I learned this bride just turned 15.

wedding edit

I’ve put an edit of my Travellers’ wedding photos from yesterday onto my Photoshelter site. I think this portrait is one of my favourites. I love the lady’s posture.

wedding belles

I don’t think I’ll ever make my living as a wedding photographer but I enjoyed shooting a traveller wedding in Cheshire today. It was an invite-only affair and so the couple was spared the free-for-all chaos that these dos sometimes have a reputation for. Once I wrestled back control from the video man and stopped him from barging into all my shots I actually started having fun. The fact that the bride has only just turned 19 though makes me feel ancient.
