The subject line of the email alone was sufficient to thaw me instantly from cryogenic suspension. Not that I was in cryogenic suspension. At that point.
Scottish biker marries climbing Malteser.
A quick online check of the church that Ruth & Hamish would be marrying at almost had me on the road with my camera that instant. I waited though until they were next due to visit St. Ignatius Church in Chideock, on the Dorset side of the border with Devon. Well worth checking out the Web site, well worth a visit in person, the church has a fascinating history that underscores its significant beauty.
I met Ruth & Hamish, we chatted about their wedding day plans, they commissioned me. I’m a wee bit excited. I’m the master of understatement.
Reliefium in excelsis. It was a long drive from one end of Dorset to the other.
Ruth + Hamish. Not a pre-wedding test shoot but it was only right to grab a quick snapshot of them in situ.
As we chatted at a nearby hostelry Hamish mentioned how amazing the sky was that evening. I took a photograph of it. I then said that I didn't know why I was taking a photograph of the sky; I rarely do anything with such shots. Then I saw the result on something a bit larger than the camera's LCD screen.
