Introduction: The journey to ‘I do’ is filled with countless precious moments, none more intimate and reflective than the ‘getting ready’ phase. This is where the quiet anticipation, genuine emotions, and personal style truly shine. At Gary Wallage Photography, we specialise in documenting these fleeting, yet profoundly significant, details of your #weddingday journey, transforming them into timeless art.
Main Content
Every wedding is a unique love story waiting to be told, and our comprehensive #weddingphotography captures it all, from the first brush stroke of makeup to the final dance. This captivating image showcases a moment of serene confidence, with the individual’s contemporary and striking features beautifully highlighted. Their composed gaze, defined cheekbones, and modern shoulder-length hair create a mood of quiet sophistication and contemporary style. We aim to capture not just what happens, but how it felt, ensuring your memories are preserved with authenticity and artistic flair.
The Vision Behind the Shot
For this particular photograph, taken during an autumn session, the aim was to create a sharp, detailed image that truly brings out the subject’s striking features. Using my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV with the versatile EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens, I set the aperture at f/11 to achieve a generous depth of field, ensuring everything remained in crisp focus. A shutter speed of 1/200s was chosen to freeze any subtle movements, guaranteeing sharpness, while an ISO of 800 balanced the lighting conditions to minimise noise. The 60.0mm focal length offered a natural perspective, and the use of flash further enhanced the subject’s presence, illuminating their features against the indistinct background. The overall mood conveys quiet confidence and modern style.

Technical Approach
This image was expertly captured using a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV paired with the EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens. Technical settings included an aperture of f/11 for optimal depth of field, a shutter speed of 1/200s for sharp detail, and an ISO of 800 for clarity in various lighting. A focal length of 60.0mm provided a natural perspective, and the flash was fired to accentuate the subject. These choices collectively contributed to the high-quality, artful result, typical of our commitment to excellence in #UKWeddingPhotography.
