"Who's driving that car?!"

After the registration ceremony I was told to follow a black Range Rover where the couple would sit in.

I must say that was not a "follow", that was a wild chase. That's when my two and a half liters turbo totally paid off. It was a sheer blockbuster with a great drama - a photog persuing newly-weds, and a little special effect in it - dainteth and spirituelle bride's visualization. One of the greatest dress, hairstyle and make-up I've happened to shoot.

Scarcely we arived to the first venue to have some shoot than I came up to the couple and asked:
- Who's that crazy driver, I need to talk to him!
- I am, - the groom responded.
- Whoops...

Ok, that adrenaline didn't rub off on the shots. :-)
And here they are.

"Just three of us"

I know lots of them only come to the registration office to register their marrige without any festivity, but this was my first experience of such kind. None of white gowns, groom suits and (which is very fascinating news) - no guests at all.

After registration ceremony we three left to have an undisturbed session against park and urban surroundings. I wish all the weddings would be that thin :-) A dreamboat of a wedding photographer...

This time the topic was using avaliable light only. No strobes, no light discs or panels, no umbrellas. Just an "online" search of interesting beams of light within given location.

There's always such a spot and such an angle where surrounding light turns isolated, directional and evidently dominating, forming a sole stream of main light. The very trouble of a photoartist is to discern it and utilize it most efficiently.
