It wasn\u2019t just food, it was part of their heritage being shared with everyone in the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bright colours, the dancing, and the sense of community made this celebration so much more than just a wedding. It was a fusion of two families, two cultures, and two people starting their journey together, and it was a privilege to capture every moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rain or not, Becky and Olumide\u2019s wedding was filled with emotion, laughter, and love, the kind of wedding you don\u2019t forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Gear List for This Wedding<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>2x Sony A7IV<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sony 70-200mm f2.8 GM V2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM V2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sony 24mm f1.4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sony 85mm f1.4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Godox AD600 Pro flash<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Godox V1\u2019s on both cameras, each controlling the other lights<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Godox AD200 strobes on each side of the reception room<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a <a href=\"https:\/\/simonday.com\/\">wedding photographer based in Torbay<\/a>, but can travel further afield if needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Becky and Olumide celebrated their wedding with a ceremony at the Municipal Buildings, Taunton Register Office, followed by a lively reception at the Rumwell Farm Shop.
