Halden HALDEN

I photograph one wedding at a time, and I stay for all of it.

Adelaide Hills, and wherever the day is.

A contact sheet of thirty six frames from one wedding, shot on 35mm.

FRAME 11

The day

An empty country kitchen at first light, one chair pulled out from the table.

I get there while the house is still quiet and the dress is still hanging on the door. I leave when the last table is loud and nobody is thinking about a camera any more.

One person, the whole way.

No second shooter, no assistant handing me lenses. It means I know what happened at breakfast when I photograph the toast at eleven. It means there is nobody in your house you have not met.

It also means I only take one wedding a weekend, and that is the part you should ask me about early.
