First wedding of the year (for me – apart from my own)

About to set off for my first wedding photography job this year. It is remarkable how I still get quite nervous beforehand. I have photographed a wedding at this very same house before, a couple of years ago and it was extremely beautiful. I am quite sure this will be no less so. Working as a wedding photographer is certainly quite strange work, as it is within a completely un-worky context so all a bit confusing, there are brilliant sides to this but it also somehow increases the pressure I think. Maybe not, but anyway, I do still get very nervous, much much more than I do for any other work, even if it is photographing Ian Paisley and I am not quite sure why. Well obviously, the responsibility of a wedding photographer is quite vast on a personal level and somehow this feels closer and more terrific than most solely proffesional responsibilties.

This is the house in Ashbury, Wiltshire at which the wedding today is taking place:
