Working with Uncle Ken

Every wedding photographer has an Uncle Ken story.

I was hanging out at a wedding with photographer Brett Prestidge when I first arrived in the UK and something amazing happened…

We met the ultimate Uncle Ken.

Uncle Ken informed us that he had the okay from the bride and groom to do a big group photograph for them.

It is so often the case that as professionals we arrive at weddings and somebody there has a bigger camera than us … this time it was Uncle Ken. Brett and I were using small, discrete Leica M9s and M8s.

So often Uncle Ken tries to take control. This Uncle Ken (his real name) earned the right.

Cheers
