I love shooting engagement sessions. I have so much fun doing them with my clients. If nothing else I find the wedding goes so much smoother after we have done an engagement shoot because the bride and groom have seen how stunning the engagment photos were, they are so much more relaxed and confident in front of the camera on their wedding day.
One of the other “perks” for me is on occasion after spending the day with the bride and groom to be, I get invited to attend the grooms bucks night, which is always a good time. Normally pictures from these evenings cannot be posted to protect the innocent LOL. However at Jason’s bucks night we started at the Kingston Park Raceway racing karts.
This is definitely my idea of a good time, I had a blast. Though it was very challenging, as I decided to try and get some good shots……. while I was driving!!!
These images were shot with a 10.5mm fish eye lens so I didn’t have look through the view finder – set to manual focus at infinity – shutter priority at an 80th of a second – then I just held the wheel with my left hand, pointed the camera in the general direction with my right hand and shot away. You will be pleased to know all drivers and camera equipment survived, despite an occasional off track excursion and an introduction to the tire barrier.
(Sadly, never yet have I been invited along on the hens night….hmm… what do you girls get up to?)
