Creative-19 inspires the era of ‘Pre’ Wedding shoots #weddingSHUTDOWN #socialdistancecelebrations #insicknessandinhealth
Saint Giles Church (pictured below) located in Camberwell and about an 8 minute walk from where I live. A place of worship, holy ceremonies and Christian community gatherings. The hit of the Covid-19 pandemic has put the entire country on lockdown and out places of worship aren’t exempt.
I had initially taken a sneaky picture on my way to do an essential shop, on the way back decided to ask permission to take this (at a safe 6ft of course). I thought it was quite oxymoronic at first the idea of a wedding being such a celebrated and huge life event, it was quite eerie to whiteness the still and emptiness of their surroundings.
My second thought was ‘THIS IS GENIOUS’ a reflection of how despite our current devastating situation people are still able to capture beautiful moments, now I know this isn’t an ‘actual’ Bride, however it just goes to show creativity has no limits, a small reminder that no matter the circumstance; in this scenario marriage, there are ways around creating lasting memories, introducing the era of your ‘pre-wedding’ practice shoot.
