Capturing Love and Cherished Moments: The Art of Wedding Photography https://www.johngilchrist.com/blog/2023/6/capturing-love-and-cherished-moments-the-art-of-wedding-photography May show the bride and groom at their chosen Edinburgh wedding venue❤️WED0024Heart wedding photo love, real Scottish wedding, we're loving this shot, and hope you love it too, image by John Gilchrist 0024

Weddings are special occasions filled with joy, love, and unforgettable memories. As a couple embarks on their journey of matrimony, one aspect that remains timeless is capturing those precious moments through the lens of a skilled wedding photographer.

In this blog post, we will delve into the art of wedding photography, exploring its significance, key elements, and the magic it brings to immortalize cherished memories.

The Importance of Wedding Photography:

Wedding photography plays a crucial role in preserving the essence and emotions of a couple's big day. It goes beyond capturing mere images; it encapsulates the story, the love, and the energy shared by the couple, their families, and friends. A skilled wedding photographer understands the significance of each moment and strives to capture them authentically, creating a visual narrative that will be treasured for generations.

Building a Connection with the Couple:

An exceptional wedding photographer knows the importance of building a strong rapport with the couple. Prior to the big day, it is essential to have open communication, understand their vision, and establish a comfortable atmosphere. This connection enables the photographer to capture genuine expressions, candid interactions, and the unique chemistry between the couple.

Mastering the Art of Composition:

Composition is the cornerstone of captivating wedding photography. The ability to frame the couple amidst the backdrop of stunning landscapes, architectural wonders, or intricate details of the venue adds depth and beauty to the photographs. A skilled photographer understands the rule of thirds, leading lines, and other compositional techniques to create visually striking and balanced images.

The Beauty of Natural Light:

Harnessing the power of natural light can transform wedding photographs into works of art. Whether it's the soft morning glow, the golden hour hues of sunset, or the magical ambiance of candlelit receptions, understanding light is essential. By utilizing various lighting conditions creatively, a wedding photographer can create breath-taking and ethereal images that reflect the mood and atmosphere of the event.

The Art of Storytelling:

Wedding photography is about storytelling. Each wedding has its unique tale, and the photographer's role is to capture the intricate details that unfold throughout the day. From the getting-ready moments to the heartfelt exchanges of vows, the tears of joy, and the dance floor celebrations, a skilled photographer captures emotions, reactions, and the unscripted moments that make each wedding special.

The Role of Post-Processing:

Post-processing is the final touch that elevates wedding photographs to their full potential. Skilful editing enhances the colours, tones, and overall aesthetics, while maintaining the authenticity of the captured moments. It is crucial to strike a balance between artistic enhancements and preserving the natural beauty of the images, ensuring that the final results truly reflect the couple's vision and style.

Conclusion:
Wedding photography is a fusion of artistry, technical skills, and emotional connection. It holds the power to freeze fleeting moments, immortalize love, and evoke cherished memories for a lifetime. A talented wedding photographer embraces the responsibility of capturing the essence of the day and the emotions shared, creating a visual legacy that will be treasured for generations to come. So, as couples embark on their journey of matrimony, they can trust in the art of wedding photography to encapsulate their love story in timeless images.

Bird Fight

Woodland Birds Photography Workshop

Photoshoot in the Scottish Borders, nr Hawick.

It would be unforgivable not to take advantage of the mild winter weather. Members of the Midlothian Camera Club arranged several organised visits to wildlife photographer Ron McCombe’s bird hide, ideal for garden and woodland bird pursuits. On my visit, it was a bright breezy day, Ron’s shelter offered a comfortable environment to shoot from, and under camouflage we were able to shoot our avian friends at a proximity suitable for several focal lengths.  

Bird activity

Small birds in flight are flighty by nature and are a challenge to capture. I wasn’t too fussed about what I was shooting bird wise, anything out flying caught my eye. All in all, it was a productive morning, a big thanks to Ron for being such a welcoming host.

Bellymack Hill Farm - Kite Feeding Station

Galloway Kite Trail, Castle Douglas

A day out at Bellymack Hill Farm (October 21) at the Kite feeding station in Galloway to experience the delights of Kites for my first time. What a day, avian feeding on a grand scale brought many opportunities, I was well impressed. The drive down from Edinburgh, Midlothian took a few hours but the trip was worth every minute. There was sunshine, cloudy skies and wind, lots of wind. I expected the Kites to devour the buckets of scraps on the food station, however this didn't happen, I'm told the fresh to strong breeze played it's part, no doubt making it challenging for the Kites to make their approach, this lent itself to more bird in flight pictures than I expected, so no complaints. There wasn't much of a feeding frenzy on this occasion, I'm told that's not always the case. There was still lots of meaty remains left on the table when we left at 4pm. I'll be sure to return again, windy or not.

Photoshoot at Northumberland Birds of Prey Photography Workshop

I've just done something that I've not done in a while, what is it? socialising.

Yes, I had the opportunity to meetup with like-minded friends where we pursued our interest in a natural environment away from Zoom meetings. Members of the Midlothian Camera Club had arranged attendance at a Birds of Prey Photography Workshop. It wasn't local, we headed down to rural Northumberland where the welcome team were very friendly, helpful, and most importantly of all, knowledgeable in their field.

First and foremost, the bird's welfare always came first, nobody could handle the birds other than the professional falconer Andy Howey.

The teachings, it was a pleasure to engage in our pre-shoot lesson, we listened and absorbed the guidance of experience wildlife photographer Alan Hewitt. Under Andy's wing we were offered top tips on how to approach the birds and what to look out for, after our classroom tutorial we had our guided practical tour around the centre.

All in all it was a fun and productive day, enjoy if you plan on going, it's recommended. For me, it was a great opportunity to test new gear in a nature setting, up until now, some of my gear has only really been pointed at my aviation interest, so it was nice to have a change of target in the viewfinder.

Bonus points, I think Alan has been hustled for a lecture at Midlothian Camera Club sometime soon, I hope so, we look forward to seeing him again.

Female Roe Deer

Wildlife in Scotland

Roe run wild in Scotland, it's wonderful to be able to pursue and photograph these wonderful creatures. I'm local to Edinburgh & Lothians, taking advantage of the many greenspaces lends me the opportunity to play out my photography pursuits. With all the good weather of late I had a wonderful experience appreciating the natural surroundings on my doorstep, it was such a relaxing afternoon, even though I had to get shoulder high in wet vegetation. There had been no recent rainfall, however, it was still very wet underfoot where this little beauty was, I almost lost my boot. Isn't she lovely.

The Downward Spiral

It's been one of those days, Edinburgh photographer JG

Having a 'mare of a day going round in circles feeling I'm going nowhere but down, lost track of how much effort I've put in to something. They say it is a sign of madness when you do the same thing over and over again expecting different results.

Well I guess that's it then, I'm officially mad. Problems encourage action, action generates change and a good night's sleep solves many a problem, I best be off to bed and try again tomorrow with a fresh pair of eyes.

Glamping in Scotland, Inverness area

Unwind and take-in the best of Scotland!

Just had a wonderful experience glamping in Scotland up north in the Inverness area. Glamping pods have really come on since we last went on a short break. Upmarket camping is the way to go, luxury pods in Daviot were a wise choice. The glamorous side of camping out really made a difference to our stay, the comfort and home finishes were a welcome touch. We booked the Bramble Pod and couldn’t have been happier. During our four night stay we used the on-site BBQ hut twice, this made it for me.  The location was so peaceful, we didn’t eat out for evening meals during our 4-night stay, which is a first for us.

Ideally located for exploration further north, it was more a peaceful break for us, we didn’t venture too far on this trip. We enjoyed a wee jolly around Loch Ness and the Black Isle. Next time we’ll venture beyond the local area and take onboard a little more of what the North Coast 500 offers.

Loch Ness monster sighting in Loch Ness

Who believes Nessie is a myth now, positive sighting of the monster of Loch Ness in Scotland?

The light was low, I couldn’t get as close as I would have liked, moving location would mean missing the shot. The monster was at the far end of my 800mm lens, focus wasn’t steady, I had to hand hold, no time to lose. Keeping it together I managed to rattle off a few frames, all low quality, this is the best of the bunch.

Well, that’s the monster marked of my bucket list of photos to get. How fortunate, it was all unplanned, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Probably my fist and last time, feeling blessed. Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster, Scotland's mythical creature, apparently! Photographed at home in the Scottish Highlands.

1982 movie themed image, Forth Bridge, Blade Runner style

Looks a bit like a dystopian scene from the 1982 sci-fi movie featuring Harrison Ford, after posting this image to social media, comments from several sources referred to the iconic movie, so I'll run with that. Note, I didn't see any flying cars or replicants, maybe I should get busy on photoshop and embellish on the scene, one for the back burner. Blade Runner themed shoot, the floodlit bridge and natural rustic red orange tones helped the process.

Aircraft in flight

Photographing aircraft movements

Critical and non-critical phases of flight, creative aviation photography

A compelling and challenging subject that fascinates many photographers both pro and amateur.

Flight Planning:

Preparation is key, gathering required information such as passenger details, load sheets, fuel figures and taking on-board environmental factors, airport factors, weather conditions. The list goes on… Is there anything here worthy to the aviation photographer? Well, support images offer a fuller picture to an aviation loving audience, although not directly involving the aircraft itself, photographing some activity related to an aircraft's journey is bound to offer a bit of added content to interested parties. During flight planning and preparation the aircraft will be static with aircraft ground services doing their thing, perfect for some ground-to-ground aviation photography, the ideal opportunity to show the environment of the airport. 

Aircraft Push Back:

All loaded up and ready to go. All systems are go, cameras at the ready, I love these moments, flight crew have pre-flight checks ticked off and Air Traffic Control have given the clearance for push. With ground support crew on hand to get the aircraft moving, the journey is underway. A long lens with good reach may be required if you are photographing from off-airfield, if you are on an onward journey yourself photography from the departure lounge may be the best option at hand.

Taxiing:

Manoeuvring from the terminal to the runway or vice versa, air-planes use taxiways to ground taxi between locations at an airport. Do pick your spot relative to the time of day and taxi route in use. If you can, consider your choice of background to enhance you aviation photography experience.

Takeoff:

Airborne, moments captured when an aircraft takes off, it leaves the ground and begins to fly, transitioning from moving along the ground to flying in the air, critical phases of flight in the case of aeroplanes means the takeoff run, the takeoff flight path. When it's raining and I'm photographing heavy jet aircraft on a horizontal takeoff I like to be behind the aircraft as it reaches V1, VR and V2. The larger jet engines on commercial aircraft blast a wet runway surface and offer a decent water-spray when the aircraft leaves the ground.
 

 

Cruise:

Bon voyage, it’s wheels up and climb to cruise, the onward journey phase, whether that be on a domestic or oceanic cruise level, after the ascent, aircraft departures take their heading (direction of flight) and head for their destination. Fo me, this is the hardest button-to-button, assuming we're referencing ground-to-air photography, those who are able to photograph aircraft at high altitude and return quality shots will need some quality glass capable of the reach.

Descent:

It’s time to come back down to earth. Vantage points off-airfield at height are ideal, a clear crisp day will enhance the air quality and hopefully offer the clarity as the aircraft descends to a reasonable height.

Final approach:

No more turns, it's straight in from here, aircraft on a descent, their final approach to land, a critical phase of flight usually at a 3-degree constant angle of descent. IMHO, some of the finest ground-to-air photographs are captured during this phase, nothing beats a swirling vortex behind an aircraft, watching the displacement as it trails of into the distance is just awesome. 

Landing:

Aircraft returning to the ground, that physical point of contact, the landing is a critical phase of flight in the case of aeroplanes, the touchdown, including the landing roll are essential phases to capture. Depending on the desired result, you're position is relevant, head-on shooting directly down the runway will be a challenge without a long lens, favourable light always helps if you are positioned midpoint, ideal for capturing the the entire side profile and full length of the aircraft, popular for photographers who love to capture aircraft livery.

Social distancing

Nationwide Shutdown

The Government couldn’t be clearer, strict guidance now introduced to combat our public's lackadaisical approach to social distancing. Deserted streets and closed shops void of people is how it should/could look, not hordes of people crowding the scene on a sunny weekend. I hope people make a conscious effort to respect this worldwide disease epidemic situation we are in and start to toe the line.

Government warnings, many people have been calling for lock-down, for some it's been a long time coming, for others it's been a bit of an issue to take on board. Hopefully the majority of UK citizens will comply, and the combined effort has the desired impact to reduce pressure on an already stretched NHS resource.

Stay safe, stay strong, please stop or slow down the spread of a contagious disease #waaitt

Not as straightforward as it seems, however, I love when a loose plan comes together, for optimum results the super-telephoto had to come out the bag on this occasion. Working on a plan, I made a guesstimate of the aircraft’s trajectory, the flight path was a given, just a matter of considering the aircraft weight, take-off run and the likes. Having watched many of these movements it was nice having it all come together.

Reminder to self to ensure I fill up with fuel in the winter months. Avoid getting caught short in bad weather conditions and have a fuel tank of fuel for the worst of the weather. The same goes for your camera battery, ensure a good charge is in your batteries to avoid disappointment on those cold morning photography shoots.

City scene, kid playing in the streets of Glasgow, Scotland. It was a scorching hot day, lugging the gear around the streets of Glasgow was a bit of a challenge.

Shot details, I could hear this kid before I could see him, I was already facing into the sun for an early shot. I held out; I knew there was a good chance he would pass on my left, which he did. A little more separation between boy and building would have been ideal, it is what it is.

The Kelpie’s Eye View by Danny Callaghan


Image by John Gilchrist

 

From my eye

High in the Sky

Let’s see what I can spy

All the cars and lorries rushing by.

 

Along the M9

From where views of me are so fine

All those cars in a line

Going too fast and risking a fine.

The people milling below

They’re just a constant flow

Looking at me and my pal makes us glow

And at night that is just what we do.  Glow!

 

Their cameras at us are clicking

And some are even flashing

Why?  When the sun is shining

And our manes are sparkling.

Oh!  Goodness what’s that draught

As up my mane it does waft

Oh!  They have opened the door

To let in visitors more.

 

Their heads they raise

To stand and gaze

At my inners they amaze

And are full of praise.

 

Yes for me there’s lots to see

And is it not time you came to see, me!

Matthew on coke
 

Looking through the disciplined eye of a photographer you are invited to see what I see; I publish mixed outcomes up here on the blog. Observing subjects from different angles or appreciating the benefits of good light and hopefully putting those factors to good use. Colour placement, texture and leading lines all contribute to the final image.

Rainbows and Pots of Gold

Training the eye to appreciate the light, each new image flattens the learning curve. Continuing the progress is my goal, perfection is that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Knowing that I’ll never find the perfect result is immaterial. The fun times are had looking for the gold; it’s the riches on the way that make all worthwhile. In the end, learning is what matters, that’s where the reward lies.

Phoblography - Shootin’ to share

I love this term, phoblography! So, what is it? The creative outcome that a phoblographer posts to a blog, I guess. Yes, I’ll hold my hand up to phoblographing, I’ll photograph anything that looks like it offers the makings of a good picture, there’s no fun in not sharing. My conclusion, you never know, someone might share value in that image. Bottom line, if it looked appealing at the time, then it seemed logical to push the button. When it doesn’t work out it gets marked down as experience.

Being able to document my endeavours seems like a natural progression to the photography itself. That said, I'm not a writer, my skill set isn't focused on the written content, maybe best just looking at the images.

Room with a view

 

Air Traffic Controllers - Edinburgh Airport Tower

Backlight photography

At nearly 60 metres tall, this contemporary high-rise of eye-catching design offers wonderful panoramic views, from this lofty perspective the visual control room perched at the top of Edinburgh Airport Tower offers the ideal viewing platform to observe air traffic in every direction.

Lighting

Full sun, the perfect light source for this occasion, with an almost cloudless sky the structure was always going to look good with back lighting, the sun at a lowish angle was an ideal opportunity for the capture.

Modelling

You couldn't coordinate this, the air traffic controllers where an added bonus and it just makes the shot for me more than anything.

Edinburgh Castle Wedding Photographer for Margaret and John

An autumn wedding, no it's not the highlands of Scotland, you'd be forgiven for thinking those rolling green hills and grass lands were in north Scotland, all this green space is captured from a city centre location, yes, unbelievable I know. 

Edinburgh boosts amazing views, Margaret and John chose Edinburgh as their destination wedding. With the ceremony at Edinburgh Castle we opted for some bride and groom time on Calton Hill, with Holyrood Park in the distance, the Salisbury Crags and Arthur's Seat make for an awesome backdrop for their wedding photos.

This was a stunning day with wonderful people and breathtaking location. What more can you ask for? Thank you for having me along and documenting your big day.

Wet day in Porty, it's chucking it down on Portobello Promenade

Candid photography: Edinburgh street photography

Eagle-eyed street photographers have a foresight, a gift of capturing everyday life in an unposed fashion, capturing the essence of society on the Edinburgh street scene, it is fun to experience and challenging to pull off, but I'm no expert.

Check out my urban, street & citylife in Scotland’s capital. Candid people shots, inner-city & public spaces shot in the central built-up expanses of the new town, old town and extended areas. I often ask myself, why is this style of capturing people, locations and the inhabited environment so interesting? Guess I just like the randomness of seeing folk in their surroundings or finding quirky urban environments void of people themselves. Regardless, you never know who or what’s going to meet you around the next corner, nothing's more interesting than in the moment. When I go into street photographer mode I try to apply selective vision in my image, see how i get on and join me in my chance encounters..

Camera Obscura

Some photographers don't sleep at night. 

Nightly pursuits, after dark night photography is a neat way to capture Edinburgh's dark side. Planning late evening activities around town is a fun way to appreciate nightlife in the city. Kick those day exposure settings into touch, it's time to adopt some night exposure values for some awesome pics. When the sun goes down and the moon comes up, darkness ensues...
