Congratulations and love to Izzy and Sam, married at the stunning St Audries Park yesterday. When we met in July for a pre-wedding meeting we thought it might be fun to create a confetti shot indoors on the staircase. We had 4 speed lights, a step ladder, a 14-24 f2.8 lens, a Nikon z8 and handfuls of snow-like confetti but most worryingly: just one shot. Ordinarily I’m walking backwards through a row of guests, taking hundreds of shots- later looking for the right one- where confetti didn’t fall infront of faces and arms don’t block the view. Whilst I pre-visualised the shot and planned it with the couple, ultimately I had one shot. There wasn’t enough confetti for multiple flashes of my lights; it took me back to my film days. Thank you Izzy and Sam for trusting me, and for confetti gods for doing their thing. I’ve not even edited the shot yet (this is straight out of camera) -I’m excited to look through their other images from such a beautiful day.
