Anyone who is a Harry Potter fan may or may not know that The Great Hall in the film with the magical ceiling was actually filmed at Christ Church College in Oxford, Oxford university is made up of several Colleges one of which is Pembroke College which is where I found myself for Aruna and Claries wedding earlier this month.
Pembroke has its own chapel which is just stunning, the architecture inside is jaw dropping… as was the light, photographers are forever chasing light as knowing how to read light is what makes great photograph. So when I stood in the chapel and realised there was a few stained glass windows and a couple of reading lights and that was it I knew it would be a challenge.
This challenge was not aided by a vicar who tells me not to use flash, vicars often tell the professional photographer not to use flash which is understandable so I wasn’t too fazed. Luckily for me I use a Canon 5D which has a fantastic ISO which means less grain on low light pictures. So after a few practice shots before the bride arrived I was happy.
The reception was at the Randolph Hotel which they travelled to in Inspector Morse’s car which made some cracking photo’s.
