Rik Pennington | Meet The Wedding Suppliers

In this episode of Meet The Wedding Suppliers we chat with Rik Pennington, a London based wedding photographer who travels all around the world shooting weddings about the importance of planning meetings between couples and suppliers.With a background in graphic design, he tells us how that has influenced his image style and composition, and how he prioritises clean and simple images that tells stories for the couples he works with. We start by discussing the importance of wedding planning and how suppliers work with couples to create a plan for the wedding day. Rik discusses a brilliant wedding we shot together on a stunning island venue called Osea Island. Osea is an exclusive luxury island Wedding resort, but whilst the venue is stunning, the island location demands thorough planning by the couple organising the wedding. Logistics are an important consideration when planning a wedding and Rik discusses how wedding planning with his couples is one of the most important aspects of planning ahead of the wedding. Rik began his career as a graphic designer before moving into garden photography. As is often the case, a friend was getting married and asked Rik to shoot the wedding and it was his research into wedding photography in the lead up to his first shoot that opened his eyes to credible wedding photography. Rik shoots many weddings each year in France and we discuss the difference between a London city wedding and a wedding in a French vineyard and how variety helps to keep Wedding Planning TipsAnd to help those who are wedding planning, Rik has some fantastic Top Tips.
