Helen and Daniel Wedding Photos ~ Murdoch James Vineyard ~ Martinborough ~ Wairarapa

This Saturday we had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Helen and Daniel at the beautiful Murdoch James vineyard in Martinborough, over in the Wairarapa, our first wedding of 2012. You couldn’t have asked for a better day, lovely and sunny but not too hot, a great way to show off our country to the many guests from the UK and Australia. Their wedding day was very relaxed, a wedding with a lot of family and friends around.

Here are a few of our early favorites from their wedding, without much processing done yet. There are lots more, but we’re saving them for Helen and Daniel to see first!

The “one camera one lens” wedding

We’ve been wanting to photograph a wedding with one camera, one fixed focal length lens, and one flash for a couple of years, with an emphasis on creating dramatic, high contrast black and white images. We’re hoping to break out and do something really cool and different!

We can’t experiment too much at weddings where couples have booked us based on our regular portfolio and expect our usual high standard of work, so we’d need to book a couple who are into the idea and happy to let us experiment. As it’s a bit of an experiment we’d be flexible with our pricing, with the bulk of the payment due only if you’re happy with the photos, but we don’t have a fixed package or price in mind.

There will be some conditions, but they’ll mostly be to make sure we get a fun couple who are happy and comfortable in front of the camera, that we have nice locations, and enough time for photos. If you and your wedding seem like what we’re interested in and you’re keen for something a bit different please get in touch on our contact form with some information about you, your wedding, your venues and locations, and why this sounds interesting to you.
