Johanna and Aaron’s wedding was one of the weddings where I anticipated a lot of energy. From their engagement session already I already knew what to expect – a gorgous and charming couple (and Aaron’s sense of humour) – with the result being many outstanding photos that I am quite proud of.

Aaron’s wonderful expression as Johanna walked down the aisle ..

Mark Gardner kindly helped me out on this wedding as the 2nd photographer. This image of Aaron and his dad goofing around during the family formals session, was shot by Mark.

Weeell .. not really. While photographing Johanna and Aaron, this group of bikers walked past and when they congratulated the couple I then invited them all in for a group shot. Pretty cool.

Here’s the real bridal party.

Johanna and Aaron’s reception had one of the liveliest parties I’ve ever been to at any wedding!
Johanna and Aaron, thank you and congratulations.

these photographs are excellent. What I want to know is how did you make the skin tone warm. Also, what type of lighting was used inside the church and inside of the reception. Was everything shot with the black foam technique.

Hi there David
Thank you for the compliments about my photography!
The warm skin tones? That’s easy to achieve with a simple WB correction in RAW. Gelling my flash with 1/2 CTS where necessary when shooting in tungsten light, also helped in not getting a blue tint to skin tones.
As for the lighting in the church, I’ve already added a few of these images as examples of the technique.
