Wedding season is now truly upon us in the UK, running from around May to October. (Turn to page 24 and you’ll find more marital bliss in our Photo Active section.) This is because the summer months mark the best weather (supposedly), as well as a time when venues and suppliers can show off their wares in the best light (literally).
I’d come across the work of this month’s pro, Tara Statton, in a more organic way than I often do for these masterclasses. She’d photographed a mutual friend’s wedding in Cornwall, and I was captivated when I saw the final images on Instagram. Keen to discover and share more about her shooting approach – but understanding that I’d get in the way of a real wedding – I joined Tara for an open day at Midelney Manor (), a romantic Elizabethan house that’s surrounded by gardens and woodland in the beautiful Somerset countryside.
