Main Content
My approach to wedding photography is to visually narrate your entire wedding day, ensuring every genuine emotion and intricate detail is preserved. Here, we see the bride Hannah holding a delicate bouquet of white flowers, her dark hair adorned with a sparkling tiara, complemented by elegant dangling earrings. Her beautiful white lace wedding dress, with its long sleeves and low neckline, speaks of classic elegance. Flanking her are two smiling bridesmaids, both in charming light pink dresses, their long wavy brown hair adding to the serene beauty of the scene. The bridesmaid on the right even sports a lovely pink flower tucked behind her ear, adding a touch of playful charm, all set against a beautiful stone building with a dark wooden door.
The Vision Behind the Shot
Captured in Spring amidst the beautiful backdrop of a stone building with a dark wooden door in Oxfordshire, this shot aimed for a classic perspective. I used my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV with the superb EF85mm f/1.4L IS USM lens. The aperture of f/2.2 created that wonderfully shallow depth of field, making our bridal party truly pop, while a shutter speed of 1/800s froze every joyful expression. With an ISO of 100, I ensured minimal noise for a pristine image. My goal was to craft a timeless memory, showcasing the beauty and emotional depth of these moments.

Technical Approach
This image was captured using my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, a full-frame camera known for its exceptional image quality and low-light performance. The EF85mm f/1.4L IS USM lens is a prime choice for portraits, offering incredible sharpness and beautiful bokeh, perfect for isolating subjects and creating artistic blur. The f/2.2 aperture allowed for that creamy background, while the fast 1/800s shutter speed was essential for capturing sharp images of people in motion, even subtle ones. An ISO of 100 ensures the cleanest possible image files. This technical combination allowed me to craft a natural, vibrant image with a truly timeless feel, precisely as I envisioned it for this #bridalparty getting ready in Oxfordshire.
