I still enjoy second shooting at destination weddings as this is how my career first began. I remember first meeting Jeremy Standley at a friends wedding that he was photographing. I was amazed by his work so when he asked if I was interested in working with him I gladly accepted, to date I am privileged to have assisted him second shooting at nearly 100 of his weddings. One of which was in Barcelona, I love Barcelona so I jumped at the chance of returning there to shoot another.
We arrived in Barcelona on the Friday to shoot Christina and Aaron´s pre wedding cocktail party. This was an ideal time to meet them before their wedding day. The party took place in the Dominicas de la Presentation which is close to the Basilica Santa Maria Del Mar where the ceremony was to be held. Fortunately there was enough time before the party to visit the cathedral, when entering it I was in awe of its beauty and was really excited to be shooting in there the next day.
The sun was shining as we made our way to some funky apartments in the Gothic quarter of Barcelona. While Jeremy joined Christina and the bridesmaids for their preparation, I joined Aaron and his groomsman, staying with them until meeting back up with jeremy at the amazing cathedral for the ceremony.
After the ceremony Jeremy stayed behind with Christina and Aaron as I headed straight back with the guests to the stunning venue Masia Egara for the celebration to begin.
With the celebrations in full swing Christina and Aaron joined their guests for some cocktails. It was then into dinner before the party began. It was an amazing day, and as we left we could see that the party was going to be going on for a good few hours.
Congratulations to Christina and Aaron on their special day and a big thank you to Jeremy jeremystandley.com who has not only been a great mentor but has become a very good friend.
