benstanley Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 <p>Or hypothetically if you were, how would you photograph it? :)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_s. Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 <p>That's press photography so it has little to do with wedding photography as such. It's more like any other big international event. I think 650 photographers are covering it.</p> <p>I have a photojournalism book (can't remember which one) but they describe how the Prince Charles and Lady Diana wedding in the 80's was covered. It was a substantial undertaking already at that time. 750 million viewers on TV as well.</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariosforsos Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 <p>True, journalistically there are around 650 photographers covering the various public aspects of the wedding, but there is only one official wedding photographer, with access to Westminster Abbey and the following events.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were the official photographer, I wonder what you'd be doing and what it would be like... There's only 2 billion people watching, you wouldn't want to trip over on something...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benstanley Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 <p>Well I thought I could hear a fairly regular shutter noise during the exchange of vows, but couldn't see where the photographer was in any of the wide tv shots... either hidden well (I guess it would be planned like that) or I was imagining it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilkka_nissila Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 <p><em>there is only one official wedding photographer, with access to Westminster Abbey and the following events.</em></p> <p>Hmm. Hugo Burnard made the official formal portraits but his blog doesn't say anything about who covered the wedding in the Abbey. There were multiple TV cameras obviously so I would have thought there would also have been multiple photographers. I don't see the possibility of one person moving around a lot during the ceremony.</p> <p>Here are some images of the event:</p> <p>http://www.flickr.com/photos/britishmonarchy/</p> <p>As you can see, many camera angles were used even in the Abbey.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilkka_nissila Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 <p>BTW regarding appropriate dresses for the wedding photographer, check out the female photographer circling around the bride's car at approximately 1:12 in the following video:</p> <p>http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13243298</p> <p>Overall I think the camera angles covered throughout are pretty imaginative. Access is everything ;-)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
