2 Minute Movies: My Approach to Wedding Photography

Written by Andi Watson on 19 Apr 2011

The main focus of Andi Watson Photography is shooting weddings. I love photographing weddings, it's the best part of my job. The bride & groom probably see more of their photographer than most of their guests and so it really is a privilege.

Here's a 2 Minute Movie about my approach to shooting a wedding, in particular the shots of the bride & groom (I wanted to talk about all the other aspects of wedding photography but there just wasn't time - I'm already over my 2 minutes!).

Summer & Pete’s Wedding

Written by Andi Watson on 15 Aug 2011

I know some photographers who refuse to photograph weddings as they find the whole event just too stressful. Luckily I don't feel the same way - I genuinely enjoy the drama and excitement of the day. . .I don't think I'd be able to do this job if I didn't! However, I have to admit that I found last week's wedding a little more stressful then normal. This had nothing to do with the couple (Summer & Pete were a delight to photograph!) but was down to the fact that Rebecca was 6 days overdue and our wee baby could be born at any minute! Things then got more stressful when I got a text from Bec saying that she was going to be induced later that evening! Thankfully I managed to focus enough to capture some great photos of the day, and still got home in time to witness the birth of my beautiful wee boy (photos of him coming soon!).

Having a Plan B is always crucial in wedding photography, and so I had my fellow photographer and good friend Alan Davidson along with me to help capture the day. The wedding took place at Lochside House Hotel in Ayrshire which is a stunning venue. The rain held off long enough for us to get all our photographs outside, which was great as there is some lovely views from the hotel grounds.

Summer had help getting ready from her lovely band of bridesmaids and Pete looked very proud, and rightly so. It was a very emotional ceremony with both bride & groom struggling to hold back the tears. Always nice to see a groom in touch with his emotions!

Here are some highlights from the day. For more photos of Summer & Pete's wedding head over to the Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Andi-Watson-Photography/117035998333962
