fiona & dan | the barn at the briars wedding
13/02/2012
I posted a preview of this day a few weeks ago. I tried to express how I felt after shooting Fiona and Dan’s wedding day. How we wanted one thing, but kinda got another.
Because it didn’t just rain.
It stormed. Like there was no tomorrow.
Like another Ark was gonna be needed.
And our plans and ideas went out the window.
But as I drove home from this wedding day, I felt… enormously satisfied. Like somehow, the weather was just a part of their day. A part that may have messed up our plans of glorious, sun-drenched silhouettes, but a part that just brought everyone and everything together.
And yes, there was rain. But there was also beer, and pizza. There was so much laughter. There were… pretty big height differences. There were children, happy, sad, and everything in between. There was dancing, and heartfelt speeches. Sparklers came out. The music drowned out the rain on the tin roof.
Like it was just a part of the story. Fiona and Dan’s wedding day.
It was… an incredible day.
I love how, even in your portraits, your composition tells the story of the person related to the surroundings. I feel like I belong with the person, experiencing what they are experiencing. Wonderful wonderful work.
Amazing Darin! She looks gorgeous! Love the shot of the groom holding the umbrella. Wow.
It actually must have been nice seeing the rain hit the prospects of the roof from inside. There's something romantic about that. Great story here, nice work.
Looking at your set of photos makes me feel like I was at this wedding. You have such a talent for documenting these beautiful weddings!
I love how you have told their story in pictures. Rain, who cares! No one there by the look of it :)
I couldn't imagine this wedding being any more perfect. Beautiful..... EVERYTHING!

Just wondering where the location of this wedding is? The shed they held it in is beautiful and a friend of mine is looking for something just like this.
