Wedding photographers?

[Ian341]

Hi everyone.

Long time lurker, first time poster. I've shamelessly used this forum for years to get festival information, lineup rumours, tips and tricks for getting tickets, secret sales information, and to generally build my excitement by reading through all of the great posts in the lead up to Glastonbury. So firstly, I just wanted to say thank you. You guys are awesome. 

 

Unfortunately though, I'm here to ask another favour. Me and my fiancé are getting married at this year's festival. We both love Glastonbury and have been going since 2010, so we couldn't think of a better place to tie the knot. We're planning on heading to Glastonbury town hall on Thursday morning, just to make it official with very little fuss, then we have a Handfasting ceremony booked for the afternoon with our friends and family.

 

We we were wondering if anyone heading to the festival is a photographer, or knows a photographer who is going, that wouldn't mind sparing an hour or two on Thursday afternoon? Our friends and family will obviously be taking photographs on their phones and whatnot, but we'd love it if we could book some type of professional to take some nice photographs.

 

Plus, as if this all wasn't overwhelming enough, my fiancé is now sporting a baby bump too! So we'd love to show our baby boy some nice photos of his first Glastonbury inside his mummy's tummy!

 

Any help or suggestions would be massively appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,

Thanks for all the well wishes guys!

Stag on the Wednesday night still to be confirmed... 

 

[GlastoAwe]

Congratulations! That sounds like a wonderful plan and what an amazing way to celebrate. Our lovely wedding photographer used to be based in Glastonbury and previously attended to photograph the festival. I'm not sure if she is planning to attend this year or not, but could be worth a try: http://emmastonerweddings.com/category/events/ Good luck x

I presume the hand fasting ceremony will be on the festival site, but for the 'legal' one at the town hall, have you thought of seeing if the local newspaper is interested, on the basis that you'll be spending your honeymoon at the festival? 

Central Someset Gazette or Somerset County Gazette, I think they are. At least you'll get some good photos taken of the real thing and you could pop into their offices after the festival and choose some to buy.

Just a thought...

[Ian341]

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. We originally thought we'd be extremely lucky to have anyone willing to do it. The last thing we expected was to have options! 

 

I might just just post the time and the place on here closer to the festival. See if I can get tonnes of people to show up and surprise my fiancé.

[Ian341]

Thanks again for everyone's help last year. We managed to get both a photographer and a film crew to record our Handfasting Ceremony and everything went better than we ever could have expected. 

It took a long time, due to us having a baby not long after Glastonbury, but we finally managed to edit together a video of our Glastonbury Wedding.

Thanks again everyone! 

See you in June!

That was really special thank you for sharing your day with us

[shuttlep]

well brought a tear to my eye

 

 

(i'm getting soft in my old age)

 

now off to try and get a friend to get married at Glastonbury I need a glasto wedding in my life before I die

[themuel]

Amazing :-) 

[Calvin Klein]

That's great. How simple/complicated is setting up the handfasting ceremony at the greenfields?

[craigyb31]

That's great to see, the wife and I are having a Handfasting ceremony this year after getting married in August last year. How was the ceremony? We will have plenty of people there to watch as it's straight after our #twisto meet Thursday afternoon.  Could be messy ha ha

[big__phil]

Just an idea, but the festival themselves obviously have a load of photographers on site. Might be worth dropping them a line. Even if you don't use them as 'your' wedding photographer, I'm sure they'd be interested in taking a few snaps for the website.
