The Wish Lantern team were thrilled to see sky lanterns not only being the star attraction of a young couple’s wedding, but also providing the muse for the award winning photographer James Davidson.

These photographs of Scheugnet and Nick’s wedding, were taken on July 18th this year, and are some of the best images of wish lanterns in action I’ve seen in a while. There’s no doubt about it, Davidson knows how to take a good photo!

The key to getting an impressive shot is to find the point of focus and to do something interesting with it. People’s animated and complex facial expressions when caught unawares are always a fail safe way of getting a unique and intriguing image (see image 6- middle of bottom row). You can also find a multitude of interesting angles to exploit which can have breathtaking reults.

Imperfection is also beautiful, and ‘mistakes’ made when taking a photograph are often the very thing that breathes life into the static image.  Everyone knows what a wish lantern looks like head on, but do all of us know what the sense of it rising feels like? A blurred image of a lone lantern (see image 9-bottom right), or a cluttered sky line with some lanterns obscuring others and creating indefineable shapes, can take you right into the heart of the experience…which is after all, what a photograph should do.

At the Wish Lantern Headquarters, we were thrilled when we were approached to take part in an interview with Essex based photographer, Hayley Ruth.

Every Wednesday she has featured a Q&A session with a wedding supplier on her blog site (a very nice idea I think), and this week it’s none other than wishlantern.co.uk! We can now count ourselves amongst the amazing Biscuiteers- a unique cookie-making outfit, whose unique selling point is that they supply detailed and perfectly iced miniature biscuits for absolutely every occassion. Next time you want to send a card, send a biscuit instead!

Last week, Hayley interviewed Mark from Lenik Media Wedding Films, who offered some great tips on how to get the best out of your wedding film, and advice on how to negotiate your photographer and your filmmaker on the big day. Click here to read the interview.

Just imagine the sorts of breathtaking images a group of ascending wish lanterns would make through Hayley Ruth’s camara lens…
