Not bad setting for a wedding, right?

I was in for a treat as a wedding photographer today: I got to photograph super nice and beautiful people at a great venue: the Royal Pavilion.
The ceremony was in the Red Drawing Room. I wish I could have taken a photo like this
during the ceremony... but there wasn't enough space.

The room was quite dark, actually, so it was a challenge to shoot there, but I think I got away with using high ISO - Canon 5D Mk II handled it well.

Before the wedding, I asked had Lucy and Josh - if they remember to do so at the time - to turn so that I can get a photo of them exchanging their rings.

They didn't remember to do that so I didn't get a picture of their hands (and I couldn't move into a different position), but at least I got pictures of the moment... and photographed the rings in their fingers later.

As you can see from the pictures, it was a lovely, relaxed and fun ceremony. I was smiling behind my camera all through.

After the ceremony we took a few posed photos in the Music Room.

Oh, and one on the way to the Music Room...
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3IPYJ-hM-jEuD_mIkcQ8R4NBsEngO_UdmJm2VyY68Bjh8sRY4MdeJMTLkmHBxJ-HpJ7-TAXCTHXDELNMsXUh6xuTLIFTehDkOzQqxFZXu76eM3sp4w62ay3CYTki-x6bxC3_m_P0IzRY/s320/s_MG_8200_199_198.jpg)
Then outside, lots of confetti...
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU1Jc2lo1qQWe0ahOeai2Tt75jsRttMsPdIseMLy7oPCUf-3zZn4WbdfkwoVvj95cGP8p_OJRjqJCcYsDiIfSrz17vkBxNYWPYMhUOwXqXMl2Gox10DRFXIt5KWFpMD3kCAIcTEY-yqb4/s320/s_MG_8272.jpg)
Before the ceremony I planned to take the group photo from this angle:
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCvXFZUHChSjBibtvntM_xn6E8wnW9RUfu2JXzgjKISUuNPFWNZgswFBjMFMNZIyX3VjpxfheSR4JMFICCezmZ3aYxjHgFIfZ73EldENgBbEDUqXljYcVEFPfhz9PhbUCpAbMh5GQ0FuM/s320/s_MG_7980enfused.jpg)
...but unfortunately, during the ceremony, the sun had come out and I couldn't take this shot as it wouldn't have meant shooting straight into the sun. So I had to do with this instead:
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRfP1JB5NQu8HAsi05VrBPaXOQxNFvsD10dFt90lTgwBdGporGtAq5w-IbdHKn3ERXX8hhAn5l3yphEGA-pa21J_AjVIPwA2R9H3Qj_AO-mwa_6MftKrwcTpmFKiDws9mYLx5sB-R-368/s320/s_MG_8319.jpg)
I was afraid that I couldn't take the planned pond shot, either, because of the sun - but luckily, with bracketed shots and a slight angle, it worked out OK.

Then it was time to move to the reception venue. On a bus.

On the way from the Pavilion lawns to the bus, Lucy and Josh got quite a few smily-faced "Congratulations!" from random people who saw them. Very sweet! Not surprised, though - they looked beautiful and happy.
We stopped at the Band Stand for another group photo...

...and I snapped a few of the couple only...

Onto the bus again...

And then we arrived at the wedding reception.

I took a photo of the rings finally. Here just a simple black and white.

And snapped a candid shot of the couple enjoying a quiet moment together.

What a sweet, lovely wedding... wishing you all the happiness in the world, Lucy and Josh!
