While once there would be a lone photographer taking pictures of the happy couple, now videographers and \u2018content creators\u2019 are also invited to document the big day, and even the clergy have had enough<\/p>\n

Hiking to the top of the highest local peak in full wedding dress sounded dramatic, adventurous and romantic. A visual representation of feeling on top of the world; a jaunty juxtaposition between gorgeous wedding finery and the wilds of northern England. The resulting photographs were striking and memorable, recalls the photographer behind this scenario, Scott Johnson. The couple were lovely and it was one of his favourite jobs \u2013 but he wonders how their guests felt, having been left for two hours while they went off to hike up a hill. \u201cYou\u2019re invited by the bride and groom to spend a day with them and they disappear, so I can see where the angst comes from,\u201d he says. \u201cBut it\u2019s what the couple wants, so we have to say yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson, in his 40s, says he is old enough to remember when his wedding photography jobs lasted around three hours \u2013 he was there to capture the arrival at the church or register office, shoot the ceremony and take portraits and photographs for an hour or so afterwards. \u201cYou didn\u2019t do any bridal preparation, or stay for the party.\u201d Now, he says, couples want coverage from early in the morning until midnight or later. \u201cI used to just take one camera and one lens,\u201d he adds; now he brings a van of equipment. \u201cCouples are much more aware of what can be done than ever before.\u201d And, anecdotally at least, many couples want much more. \u201cSome want the more stylised coverage,\u201d he says. \u201cYou see wedding photography online where you\u2019re thinking, that\u2019s not a wedding, it\u2019s like a movie shoot.\u201d<\/p>\n
