Naomi & Matt / Munstone House + Belmont Abbey - Hereford
Look at that sky! - Fuji X-M1 + 18mm
A beautiful wedding with great people and awesome weather.
We started this wedding with the bridal prep at Munstone House, this was such a great part of the day with everyone being both excited for the day but super chilled out, which is just what I love!
Soon it was time for me to shoot off, I stopped to get a few shots of the guys before heading to Belmont abbey, which I've had the pleasure of shooting at before and for me is the ideal setup for a church wedding, plenty of space to move around, nice and bright and a very relaxed attitude to photographers, perfect.
After the ceremony we headed outside to grab a few shots of the family then it was onto getting some great candids of people greeting the happy couple, one of my favourite shots from this wedding is below, where the guests with cameras were keen to get their shot, taken from a completely different angle and it's something I'm really happy with. For me these moments are really important, they give a feeling of the wedding and while some photographers don't like guests with camera I love it, I think weddings are a day for people to remember and get thier own moments and photos.
Back to the day, a convoy of cars went back through Hereford to Munstone where there were drinks and canapés, the evening saw some fantastic dancing and a great warm evening where most people took advantage of the great gardens that Munstone keep.
I used the XM1 a bit more at this wedding, favouring the 18mm for a quick wide angle grab, other than that I kept it all simple rocking my much loved 23/56 combo, here are a selection of images from the day, I hope you enjoy.
Cheers, Col-
