Grangefields Wedding Photographer – Kathryn & George Getting to be Kathryn & George’s Grangefields Wedding Photographer was special for a couple of reasons. The first was that this couple was so much fun

Awesome to see this picture of Lucy & Dan getting featured on Rangefinder this week. Thanks guys

📸 Photo of the Day: After this couple married in a beautiful church in a small English village, followed by celebrations at a pub, “as luck would have it, it started to rain,” says J S Coates Wedding Photography, “and I knew a backlit rain shot had to be made.” ☔️☔️

Coates tried a few different positions but ended up liking a central composition that drew the viewer to the pure joy on the bride and groom’s faces, “a combination of happiness from the day and laughter on watching me get absolutely soaked,” he says.

Check out how Coates lit this shot 👀 and read the BTS insights on the other photos that caught our eyes this week:
