Wow what a location and only a billboard style of hording as a background, right in the heart of the city and there is nothing classical about this part of his Location Location session. With one of his real life Bride and Grooms Mark shows how even under weather problems of wind sun and rain he copes to bring energy and fun not forgetting shooting some colour dominant images.

All the kit comes out on this session from super wide, mid range Tele to the big one as he works up close to the couple as well as from the other side of the street. The shoot is that exciting there was even a car crash, which of course is on film. The shoot really shows how he can control a subject to do what he wants, even at a great distance to get the animation and excitement in the pose he demands.
