Interior Brief

Noorin & Mo Wedding- Interior Brief

I was asked to shoot a wedding for Noorin and Mo which would be on the 22nd of November 2012. I was told that my location would be Nawab Restaurant in Manchester. As always I first started to research on a lot of photographers to see the sort of images they take of couples on there special day.  

I received a phone call off the bride Noorin on 29 October 2012 at 07.00pm in the evening whether I will be able to make it and capture the special day, I was very happy to tell her I will be able to make it and be very happy to do the photography for her special day.

Preparation for the wedding shoot.
Date of Shoot - 22th November 2012
Time - 11.00am till 05.00pm.

Here are a few things I kept in mind on what i wanted to capture:-
  • Bride and groom
  • The wedding cake
  • The stage
  • Family and friends
  • Flowers
  • Table Deco etc.
Test shoot

I wasn't able to do a set shoot day before there wedding so I did the test shoot before all the guests arrived. Here are a few test shoot images.



The Wedding Images










Positive points of the wedding-
  • I successfully arrived on time and was able to get a few test shoot images.
  • The cake was on display so I was able to capture the cake before the bride and groom cut it.
  • I was clearly informed by a member of the brides family who there special guests are, what time the grooms family will be arriving and what time the ceremony will start.
Negative points of the wedding-
  • I was unable to capture bride while sat in her car, before she got out of it because of the bad weather.
  • The lighting in the restaurant was very bad.
Improvements for next time-
 
To meet the bride and groom before there special day and not to discuss the wedding photography on the phone. To allow them to see the sort of work I do and to allow them to discuss what is the most special thing they do on their wedding day, and what sort of images they would like. I would be be able to show them and price them accordingly. To allow plenty of time for the families to sit with the bride and groom and allow me to take the images.      
 
Overall I think it was a good wedding to shoot although there are all lot of improvements to be made for next time.
