Mark has been a little busy of late so I thought I would take over a little of the blog writing for a while. I am also eager to share my first experience as a photographers assistant with everyone!

What a lovely wedding for my first experience of being the photographer’s assistant, set in the heart of Yorkshire at the Coniston Cold Hotel there were fantastic countryside with views from all angles.

The ceremony was in the St Peters Church at Bell Busk which was full of natural light and very pretty, I had the honour of viewing the wedding from the small balcony accessible only by a thin winding staircase. With standing room only next to the organist I was in charge of getting the shot of the ceremony and congregation from the balcony using the wide angle lens, so the pressure was on for the first day on the job.

Mark was busy doing a mixture of informal & group shots while I captured some candid photos, a great team approach to produce some memorable photographs of the day.
