In this episode Cambridge Jones and Hugo Burnand talk wedding photography, sharing lessons from shooting royal and celebrity nuptials to help you photograph a big day, whichever side of the lens you’re on. Plus behind the scenes of a $106m wedding where Beyoncé headlined and the fake marriage ceremony Cambridge shot on the HBO series Succession.

A good wedding photographer must be a master of tact and communication as well as a sports photographer, an interiors photographer, a street photographer, a portrait photographer, and a lifestyle photographer all rolled into one. Cambridge and Hugo bring decades of hard-won experience – Hugo once did 45 weddings in one year – to the challenge. They swap top tips and skills for capturing the emotion and the love, as well as tricks for choreographing the “can’t miss” iconic shots of the day.  

Along the way, get a backstage pass to photographing the weddings of Prince William and Katherine and King (then Prince) Charles and Camilla, how to capture the perfect “aisle” photo and Hugo’s trouble with a big white horse.
