More from scoping the wedding venue

[Stevewebb]

Here are a few more shots from the trip at the weekend to a wedding venue I am shooting at in December. I am really looking forward to this one as there are so many options for some great shots.

Remember, these were only taken to help me plan shots and to remember the layout of the place so they were not taken with any real intent to be good images in their own right. But I thought I would share them anyway just for interest.

I am sure you will be able to make a great work.
The place is excellent and I hope it doesn't rain !

To photograph people framed by doors, windows, whatever, can be a very interesting option.

I would not privilege large empty areas like the first photograph but rather framed with the building - 2.ed image - which looks like is full of potentialities.

Avoid that PVC frame inside the window on photograph 4. It is a shame. Should be removed !

Scenario 6 instead of scenario 7. This one, no ! Too empty.

The last image is good for some kind of joke like women do all the work and the man is the master. Oh diff to explain

Do you have an assistant ? Flashes ?

Going to photograph inside ?

Pretty good place Steve. But the groom in #5 needs to sharpen up his sartorial act before the weekend.

Did you shoot these with the Panny?

It will all look the same in December after we have a foot of snow.

Lovely setting, I'm with Antonio, the first thing I notices were the modern down pipes & big brother security camera spoiling the vista....

Thanks Antonio for your comments.

The first big open area is where they have to throw the confetti. Ithought it might be ok for the big family group photos if the weather is ok too.

I noticed the frame in image 4 too. It is a shame but easily fixed in photoshop i think.

The other empty space image, again I was thinking it has potential for the big group photos but it very much will depend on the weather.

You are right on the money with the last photo. Potential for a bit of humour.

There are some equally good places to photograph inside if the weather is poor and for some of the bridal portraits. Big staircases, old stone walls. Lots to choose from. The Current Mrs Webb is the assistant with the shot list and to liaise with the ushers.

I also have a second shooter. Between us we have 8 flashes so we should be able to some some nice creative images with the bride and groom (although 8 flashes might be a bit over the top )

Steve - Oh oh oh …. “Big staircases” if time permits – how about doing a Martin Chambi ? Take a look here at #18

Notice the servants lurking in the shadows at the side of the stairs.

Great link, thanks Nick.
