▲ This was taken on a very wet day. I converted the image to black and white and kept the red umbrella. When the bride got into the reception area all the guests from the previous wedding cheered and clapped. This is one or my all-time favourite photos! I was tucked away in the corner when I noticed a pigeon fly into the room. I got up from my table and positioned myself in front of the top table. I like to capture the unexpected and this photo’s done very well in various photo competitions.

They had their ceremony at Islington Town Hall and the reception in a local restaurant. The couple recommended me to some of their friends and I went on to photograph their wedding too. SIMON DUTSON PHOTOGRAPHY www.simondutson.com ▲ This couple hired a steam train to travel to their venue. To prevent their outfits from being seen and from getting dirty, the groom donned a boiler suit and the bride hid her dress with a cloak and veil. While she was seated in the carriage, she paused and glanced out of the window. This photo captures a moment of reflection and the excitement and anticipation of what was about to come. ▲ The beaming pair in the back of the convertible, complete with picnic hamper, racing past encapsulates the energy and relaxed nature of their day. As an added bonus, the word ‘keep’ under the car acts as a charming metaphor. It’s an image to treasure, but also a sign that the newlyweds will endeavour for their love to remain as strong as it was that day. After a few drinks, the groomsmen were playing around with some flares behind the bride and groom, which quickly evolved into running around in circles past the couple. I asked the bride and groom to stop, positioned the groomsmen behind them and requested that they hoist the flares up high and suddenly we had a backlight filled with a smokey hue and ethereal glow. 54
