If you had your eyes open at around midnight last night, you may have caught a taster image from Kevin And Louise’s wedding at The Deep Aquarium in Hull. As a Yorkshire Wedding Photographer, I had been waiting for this wedding with so much anticipation when the bride and groom booked me last March. If you havn’t been to The Deep, it is the most amazing aquarium which is home to over 3,500 fish, sharks, rays and a whole host o other marine creatures.
One of the issues with shooting inside The Deep is the fact that flash photography is not allowed as it is too stressful for the fish. Without adding in additional light, it’s almost impossible to record anything inside even with the low light capabilities of modern digital cameras. So the answer comes from the world of videography and I used ‘continuous’ lights used in film making to capture the scene. These film lights provide a very interesting way to work because you can see the lighting effect as it is applied to the bride and groom which is quite the opposite with conventional flash.
I hope you can see from the images above that I had an absolute field day! I could have spent 2 days photographing the bride and groom and still not had enough time to cover all the looks that are available! Everywhere I pointed the camera, there was another scene that just begged to be captured. My approach is to balance the bride and groom’s desire to have the best possible album whilst also enjoying lots of time with their friends and family so I don’t monopolise their time- so in this sense we only really scratched the surface of what I could have photographed. Needless to say, I shot almost 2000 frames yesterday and i can’t wait to share the collection with Kevin and Louise when they come back from their honeymoon in Egypt.
