Every so often a friend will call up and say can you give me a hand. Turns out this time it proved that I could not only help out a friend but gave him a chance to enjoy himself and myself at the same time. It was Rob's sister's Wedding and he agreed he would never shoot a family Wedding again. So much inner conflict, wanting to enjoy yourself and needing to work.
I am so glad I went, enabled my to test myself under pressure, no pre-spec of the venues and not knowing anyone.
Heather and Luke the couple were great and let me do my thing after I persuaded the Vicar to let me shoot through the service and set some guns up for the exit. Then we got to the Reception and the shoot was on. Inside a Submarine !!!!


Heather was beautiful, Cameron Di-esk and with a church in the grounds of a ruined castle and the reception with the nautical theme, some great back grounds made me a landscape photographer again.

Rob and I got a chance for a few giggles, a few shared moments and lots of shutter firing. Getting to the submarine was just great, cool light outside , no light inside.

Threw up some guns and a few wireless transmitters, a technique a friend of mine insisted I tried out and we nailed the shots.

A unique Wedding, unique challenges and some unique images, Rob thanks for the opportunity to help you and your lovely family out, I had a blast. Excuse the maritime pun.

Not everyday I get to play around inside a submarine from the 1950's, it was terrific and even
more intense for some one who is a little claustrophobic. Hey Uncleray always says, you gotta get the shoots T. So did I get 'em ?
