p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · J+L Two Girls get married in London


One of the happiest wedding's I've been to in ages and only the second lesbian wedding I've been allowed to blog. Only slight thing I'm gutted about is that there was an amazing old Masonic temple on site with thrones and all. Got everything set up and had 6 hours to get a photo in it. The girls just wanted to party too much though and it never happened. Would have been epic

Anyway, if this whets your appetite you can find more on the blog here:

great job Alex! I really like #33.

Yeah, I guess its a tricky situation when you have an epic shot but the client just wants to party. I mean, it is their wedding but they also did hire YOU and you do EPIC shots, so they should have expected or wanted to do a shot you thought was gonna be great. Especially if you have it set and would only take a couple minutes.

Oh well, you did your thing anyway bro.

Clicked for girls kissing - leaving disappointed. (just joking re the reason I clicked). However, real question, was this on purpose, either from the brides or your doing? 49 images and only some 'faces close' and a peck on the cheek shot?

Ooo I hadn't really noticed! There's always 34 for lip action...

Missed that, but I guess I mean more...'pasison'. That shot looks like a kissing game shot...your 'almost' shots feel far more passionate. It's a minor nit (or not even a crit at all), just happened to notice it. I'm probably just a per so that's all good.

It's all good I know what you mean. Personally I feel this set is great apart from missing two really epic couple shots. I knew what I wanted and it would have taken 15mins max but they were just enjoying the party too much and didn't want to make it happen. I left totally gutted but I have to remember it's their wedding not mine.

Oh I also missed the first kiss because the fecking registrar moved right in front of my perfectly composed shot. Bugger.

That's a nice set of images. Looks like a fun wedding and a perfect couple. Don't worry about the missed frames, as long as they enjoyed the day and the experience you gave them, they will enjoy your deliverables.

Very nice set.

I find that when working with a same sex couple you want to make sure that you get a sense of love/intimacy to the portraits (really no different than with a straight couple). Otherwise sometimes it just looks like to girlfriends or two groomsmen hanging out. So I get Jeremy's critique. Personally I don't think it is about creating an epic shot as much as it is about creating the comfort level for an expressive natural portrait. The seem a bit camera aware.
