22 Feb Best Wedding Photography 2012 – Year in Review by Lyndsey Goddard
2012. It was an epic year for the UK; the furious flag waving, cake baking and street partying of the Diamond Jubilee, the über excitement and pride at our success in the Olympics, the man who literally fell to earth, breaking records for the highest free fall ever…. it was also an epic year for Jo & James, Helen & Duncan, Lindsey & Alastair, Angela & Vincent, Katie & Sid, Richard & Tommas, Nicola & Michael, Michelle & Ben, Jane & Alan, Rob & Nick, Fiona & Chris, Amanda & David, Caroline & Troy, Janie & Olivier, Guilia & James, Katie & Paul, Emily & Tom, Lindsay & David, Cassandra & Raymond, Hannah & Patrick, Jessica & Paul, Aimeé & Andy, Audrey & Steve, Zee & Nameer, Louise & Kevin, Sinéad & Jon, Angela & Ferrice, Mel & Rob and Rachel & Dan because they all GOT MARRIED. I was the lucky photographer entrusted with documenting these couples’ big day, and travelled far and wide in order to do so. 2012 saw me in London, Berkshire, Lincolnshire, Surrey, Kent, Somerset, Hampshire, Gloucestershire, Leicestershire, Essex, Devon, Oxfordshire, Yorkshire, Sussex, and even sunny Spain. I photographed weddings in stately homes, country barns, city hotels, parents’ gardens, village churches, town halls, and in weather that sunk marquees, turned gardens into quagmires, had guests applying the factor 50 in the 40 degree heat, and yet unbelievably, avoided the snow! It’s been an amazing year and I’d like to thank all the couples who invited me into their lives to share their special day, along with their families and friends. My favourite images from 2012 are below and I’d love to hear your comments and which ones are your favourites

Posted at 18:22h, 29 MarchThere are some excellent pictures here, well done Lyndsey! There’s a touch of the Martin Parr in there, I particularly like the shot of the man’s hand covering the little girl’s face. Original ideas well conveyed, not just the familiar stuff we see time and time again. When I see work like this I am reminded that there is a need for good, intelligent reportage photography out there.
