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.
