That thing in the purple circle there is my head, which is the only part of me that was visible for most of Alina and Adrian’s wedding. Once I’d explained to the priest how much the couple were hoping for some good ceremony shots, he practically ordered me up there to get the best viewpoint while Ann covered the back and the sides of the church, so for the first time ever I shot a wedding ceremony from the pulpit. Now if only the Anglican church could start thinking along the same lines …

Above is a quick wide shot I did during the recession to show Ann in place on the right, and below is her shot at more or less the same moment, which neatly illustrates just one of the advantages of having a two-photographer team covering your wedding!
