Eugenie's Dress [Title edited by GNHQ]

I think it is safe to say the photographer is a professional photographer

gillybob I shouldn't laugh but I am spluttering into my

Well, I didn't think they were great although I can understand why Sarah is positioned as she is

any one who has had training will know the group should be built from the centre,Groom to the brides right ,his mother next to him ,her father next to her ,his dad beside his mum,his best man at the end,her mother next to her father her sister beside her ,GP at the front with children evenly spaced and LOOKING at the camera.Anyone coming back with a group like that would be in deep do do,A professional knows that control of the group is almost as important as their talent ,if you cant be in control of whats happening then you shouldn't be in the job

Sarah and Andrew seem to care a lot for each other and I'd love to see them get remarried . Their divorce diverted attention from Charles problems nicely didn't it ?
How two faced of Philip to criticise Fergies antics , how dare he ?

Does anyone who has trained photograph the queen ?

hopefully Annie,in the past they used royal photographers like Armstrong Jones and Lichfield who were family but not dedicated wedding photographers we have photographed the queen in the past and heads of state like Clinton so I do know regardless of WHO you're photographing the job must be done right

You have photographed the queen Paddyann?

yes we have .As sole photographers on a Scottish visit .Not something we publicise though or our other high profile shoots .The negatives are still in the files though .

I think Eugenie looked lovely the dress was elegant and simple her Husband looked so handsome and they looked so in love. I wish them years of happiness

Was the queen easy to sit as you wanted her to Paddyann?

Eugenie made a lovely bride. She looked so happy. Loved the dress and the tiara. I thought Fergie looked fabulous in her green outfit. Is it me or does little Charlotte look just like the Queen? I think the resemblance is striking.

Yes indeed elfies .

I would imagibe her maj sits anywhere she wants to Annie

gilly, I think protocol comes into it, when do we ever seen photographs of queenie sitting or standing at the end of a group , or anyone sitting in front of her.

To be fair I can’t say I look at many royal photographs Annie but my guess would be never. It doesn’t change my mind that the family group photo of Eugenie's wedding was so wrong to have shunted her mother off to the side. I doubt we will ageee but that’s fine .

she sat in the chair that was set out for her Annie and groups were built around her .If you'll read my group set up I never said anyone should sit in front of her I said Grandparents usually sat at the front of the group .But then what would I know I've only been in this industry for nearly 50 years .The chairs should have been set out differently and thats down to bad communication between the photographer and the couple whose wedding it was.All things are possible where the arrangements have been made beforehand .As I said before he's not a wedding photographer,thats a very different discipline to fashion .

I was surprised that Beatrice is on her own behind granny & grandpa. She always looks a little startled.
paddyann would you usually put the maid of honour with the best man?

I liked the photograph Paddyann, doubt the photographer had time to wait for the children to settle, Phillip must have been eager to rest

The photographer should be in charge!

Would you want to be in charge of Phillip Jalima ?

Yes, I would love to be able to tell him what to do, where to sit etc

Lichfield used a whistle to get childrens attention so it is possible .We have more subtle ways

I am still puzzled over the fact that she was 'maid of honour' as surely she would have worn a dress and walked behind the bride, organising the younger bridesmaids, pageboys etc and sorted the train? Thinking Pippa here!
I only saw the first half of the ceremony so she may have carried out maid of honour duties later.

Dh & I accidentally photobombed someone's wedding photos earlier this year. You'd have needed to bring your editing skills to the fore, Paddyann. Our Dd & SIL had asked us to come and collect our 5mth old granddaughter from the wedding so they could spend the evening at the dance. Through a glass door I spotted the wedding party were outside and thought 'Aha, there they all are!' and we opened the door and stepped out.

To my horror, I realised we were now at the top of a flight of stone stairs and even worse, the wedding party was all artistically arranged around the steps, with a photographer with a gigantic camera taking photos and also a drone in our faces! In panic, we tried to go back inside but the bl**dy door had shut behind us and had no handle on the outside so we were stuck like rabbits in the headlights!

At that point, my Dd saw us and dragged us away behind a wall until it was safe to come out again. We took our GD and sneaked away as unobtrusively as possible but all evening people kept saying to dd 'Was that your mum & dad we saw earlier??' Poor girl and poor bride and groom!

I didn't see Beatrice doing anything - I was confused by her title of Maid of Honour when she didn't do any of the normal MOH duties. Just sat with her mother and chatted.
