First Dance
First dance's at weddings are still an old tradition that doesn't seem to have died out, and why should it! It starts off the evening of partying and is the sign that the formalities of the wedding are now over so everyone can get up and dance and enjoy the evening! But if it was anything like our first dance it was awkward and uncomfortable with everyone starring at us! For this couple however it was a beautiful moment, their wedding venue was in an old disused swimming bath, it's beautiful architecture the background for their day. The couple loved music and had hired their favourite band for their first dance, the Bride's dress suited her perfectly and really went with the style of their wedding. During their first dance I wanted to include the whole scene and give it context, knowing how much they loved the band I knew I wanted that to be the background! With my off camera flash positioned to the right the couple danced around the dance floor and as they ended up on the left hand side I managed to frame this shot. I love how the "well loved" sign is mid frame and the band look like they are really getting into the song, the Groom looks like he is lovingly leading his new Wife around the dance floor and it all just "works"! One of my favourite first dance shot I have taken! Click the image for high res version!

Thank you!

Thank you so much :)
I well love this wedding photo! Great dress, he looks comfortably dressed too, and no guests (to be seen at least) - which means no fights. (I've watched too many stressed bride shows!) Because of all that space and the band in the distance, there is a wonderful intimacy between the two.
Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words, they were such a sweet couple!
