I joind Cariosa at her hotel on the cascade ventnor where we had a fantastic times getting ready, Cariosa's brothers were the bridesmaids and were so funny so much so that I have never seen such a relaxed bride....lol

wightphotography-220 This first shot was not quite where I wanted it exposure wise as I had to get the background showing and the faces natural not all dark.

Now we are off to the church.

This church is so small it only takes about 50 people and you can only photograph down the middle or over the heads of people.

Hmm, a little enthusiastic haha.

wightphotography-903 wightphotography-912 wightphotography-959 wightphotography-1025 wightphotography-1068 wightphotography-1075 We ran out of time for the tunnel shots so I asked Lloyd & Cariosa to just chat and do what ever they liked under these lights, to my delight they started to dance and twirl, a few different edits for the fun of it.

And then it was time for the real first dance to an amazing live band from I think London?

I always use off camera flash on the first dance pictures where possible as it gives you those all important shadows and lit areas, it just works for BW images.
