Civil partnership wedding photography – Brian and Olly

civil partnership wedding photography


Here are some images from  the civil partnership wedding of Brian and Olly, this was another wedding venue  that was just down the road from me at the St Annes Manor hotel in Wokingham.

Its always nice to photograph something a bit different and I really enjoy civil partnership wedding photography, it gives me a different challenge to my normal work. They really kept me on my toes as Brian arrived in a stretch limo with his mum and  best man and bridesmaid. Shortly followed by Olly who has to go one stage further than Brian and arrive by helicopter with his best man and bridesmaid!

Olly then took over on choreographing everybody on how to enter (see the slideshow!), again a bit different with the entrace of one best man with bridesmaid, followed by both parties with their mums giving them away.


Fun civil partnetship wedding photography.

They had a really lovely ceremony which was then followed by drinks on the lawn.

Normally I have about 1 1/2 half to get all of my shots but today I only had a bout 45 minutes to get everything ( I won’t mention that Olly was late in the helicopter!).



For civil partnership wedding photography I’m always sensitive to how comfortable each person is being for want of a better term “touchy feely” in public so I always ask if they are ok with what I’m asking them to do.

We  spent about 10 minutes on our own getting some nice shots of Brian and Olly together before doing a small number of formal shots and the finished with a big group shot.

  17. These shots are wonderful! I can’t believe you managed in 45 mins – THAT is when the pros differ from the GWCs! (that is guy/ girl with camera, right?) ;-)

  18. I think it is really great that you are doing civil unions. Not many people will. But this is becoming more accepted and hopefully sometime soon it wont even be too much of a public issue. peaples private lives are just that private. there is no place for government or h8 there. so good for you and your support and Im sure many thanks too, I will absolutely have not a problem shooting a civil union ceremony I hope to do one soon for a friend of mine. :)

  19. What a wonderful set of photographs!! looks like a very happy day :)

  20. Nice pics! I like they way you captrued the pasion of the day! Awesome weather too! GREAT :)

  21. Some day, there won’t be any difference between these and other weddings. Two humans. Love. Commitment. Wedding.
