Guest List

My lovely assistants during an evening wedding for which the bridal couple asked me to take pictures of all the guests arriving at the venue. I’d been the ‘second shooter’ during the first parts of the day (dressing of the groom, portrait sessions, ceremonies, etc) and after that was responsible for covering the evening wedding, including dinner. I used a really basic setup (a single shoot-through umbrella to camera right) shooting towards the dark garden. My assistants (friends of the bride) volunteered to ‘rope in’ new arrivals and hand them our ‘guest list’, so I could focus on taking pictures. This picture nicely portrays the mood and the amount of fun we had during the half an hour or-so that it took to cover all the guests.
