Looking Back 2007 - Sarah and Darren II

Often, before anyone shows up to the church/ceremony location, I will scout around the nearby area to look for backdrops I think may be fun and a little out of the ordinary.

I like to get the safe, traditional stuff shot, done and looking nice and then grab the couple and take chances with some more creative portraits and locations.

For Darren and Sarah's wedding, I knew the costume theme meant traditional poses and settings were not going to work so well for the formal portraits. We did some in the church, but the really fun photos took place at a delapidated machine shop which shared their church's parking lot. It felt like a rock band's album cover shoot, and everyone had a blast.
