Syon Park, London wedding photography
Family and friends gathered in the Great Hall for John and Michelle’s wedding at Syon Park.
I got straight to my reportage coverage and as an accredited photographer I know where to be to get the best of the crisp light that comes in through the Great Hall’s large windows.
After the ceremony, I took John and Michelle for portraits in the Long Gallery where the interiors work particularly well. Then, with the weather on our side, everyone headed to the courtyard for champagne. I like using a long lens when photographing here as I can pick out expressions more easily and isolate the background.
The wedding breakfast was served in the Great Conservatory. Speeches first, to get nerves out of the way, and then a relaxed meal. Using both wide-angle and portrait lenses, I continued to document festivities. A jazz band kicked off the evening and lively dancing ensued.
Ian Baker - I used to live 2 minutes from Syon Park so know it well! Really nice, natural, beautifully observed shots. Ben.
Ben Joseph - Thanks Ian!
David Weightman - Great work as always Ben. Your images always seem to have such a simple and understated beauty to them that also speaks volumes for the incredibly discerning couples that hire you.
