Clandeboye Estate Wedding | Claire and Ben

The week before Christmas saw me shooting at Holy Trinity Church at Glencraig in Holywood and then back up to Clandeboye Estate where I’d photographed Simon and Claire’s wedding for Claire and Ben’s magical wedding.
With the ceremony taking place at 3.30pm there was hardly any natural light for me to work with. The weather was wet and cold so the whole wedding was shot entirely indoors. Inside the church the atmosphere was wonderful – almost in darkness except for some storm lanterns and candlelight. Clandeboye was also beautiful and is a truly fabulous winter wedding venue. With such difficult lighting conditions I shot most of the day at f1.4 ISO 6400 and shutter speeds of between 1/30th and 1/100th of a second – which for me, really is the top of the mountain technically. I refuse to use flash as its presence would totally destroy the atmosphere – as well as being too intrusive for the way I work. With it being so ‘photographically’ dark I managed to retain a lot of the atmosphere and capture some really lovely moments and scenes. Here are a few of my many favourites from the day: |
