Wedding photography at The Old Mil Aldermaston

The Old Mill is an unique venue in Aldermaston not too far away from Reading. The venue was a flour mill till the late 1920s, Since 1933 it has been privately run with in house catering. The venue specialise in weddings and all kinds of functions and events. 

Before Elena and Andrew’s wedding I wasn’t aware of The Old Mill, then I had the opportunities for a quick visit and guided tour just a week before the wedding. I had all kinds of ideas in my mind and really can’t wait to photograph their wedding. 

The day starts with Elena’s preparation with 2 bridesmaids at a hotel near by, then Andrew is getting ready with grooms men in their home. One thing I can say about Elena and Andrew’s wedding is the fact that they tailored and bespoke everything. Which you can see from the images and I also used in my album design for them. I encountered some of the “first” in my career as wedding photographer. Especially the fireworks display photography. 

 

 

The Making of the firework photographs for weddings. 

I think we can all agree that every moment of the wedding is precious, in that respect, photography could be the only way to captures those moments and making them last forever; especially for something like firework display. Arguably, there is nothing more impressive and exciting than firework display. We can all agrees that firework display is something thats really special. Countries all over the world put on some of the biggest firework display to mark the beginning of the new year. 

Fireworks is one of the most difficult subject to photograph, especially when there is people involved in the making of the images. The vast contrast of the brightness of the firework and the darkness of the sky, in addition, the always changing formation of the patterns and shapes. Its technical challenging but creatively exciting. thou, the reward can be extremely satisfying.  

 

Set up for photographing firework display at wedding with wedding couple.

On this occasion, its not just the firework I am photographing, I have Elena and Andrew in the foreground as well. Therefore, in order to balance out the lighting I decided to place them just next the the river where I will have a good view of the firework and them altogether in the same frame. I use my portable flash on a battery pack to produce as much light as I needed for the shot.
