Although I am no longer a wedding photographer, I have been known to accept an invite to shoot the wedding of a friend or help out as a second shooter. Recently I did just that when I was asked by the mother of the bride if I could take a few shots of her daughter Lisa and groom Fabien on their wedding day.
The wedding was a truly international affair with Fabien being French and some of his family and friends coming over from France. The day turned out to be the swansong of summer 2010. The light was fantastic and the leafy Great Glen in Leicestershire set the scene beautifully.
Good luck to you both
