An unofficial wedding photographer

Jamie and Amy's wedding near Buxton a month ago gave me a great opportunity to put into practice an idea I read in Amateur Photographer recently - basically to enjoy taking interesting

wedding pictures without any of the major responsibility of the official wedding photographer: in other words, to be something of an 'unofficial' wedding photographer looking out for the interesting candid moments and trying to capture the spontaneous and the unusual.,

On the whole I was happy with the results - out of around 220 exposures I saved on the camera ended up with just under 100 that were worth using, admittedly with a fair amount of cropping and brightness correction at times. Partly this was due to having to shoot at unusual angles and partly at having to adjust to the changing light throughout the day.

At the end of it all, though, I think I'd really like to carve out a niche as a wedding photographer, if only I had the nerve.
