:00:19. > :00:23.Hello, welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones... And Matt Baker. We
:00:23. > :00:29.are joined by a man who fully admits having a dog's life, and he
:00:29. > :00:39.could not be happier. With him, some of our weekend medal winners.
:00:39. > :00:44.
:00:44. > :00:49.Please welcome Paul O'Grady and our I haven't won a medal. Can I just
:00:49. > :00:53.say? I cannot run for the bus! must be pleased to be here. You
:00:53. > :00:58.prefer the Paralympics? When I watch it, I forget about any
:00:58. > :01:05.disability, it is about ability, not disability. It proves that
:01:05. > :01:08.there is no such thing as cannot. It is amazing to watch. First, we
:01:08. > :01:13.will head over to the Olympic Park, where Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson
:01:13. > :01:17.has been watching the medals coming in. We will start with Ellie
:01:17. > :01:22.Simmonds? She had a brilliant afternoon. She won yet another gold
:01:22. > :01:26.medal. It's amazing from seeing her this morning, when she got out of
:01:26. > :01:30.the swimming pool, she said, what time was it? It was quicker. Then
:01:30. > :01:34.going to winning tonight. There was so much pressure on her. It's easy
:01:34. > :01:38.to forget she is still a teenager. She was 13 in Beijing. You think
:01:38. > :01:45.that she has been in the sport forever. But she has not. She has
:01:45. > :01:51.plenty more years to come. What about Lee Pearson? He had a chance
:01:51. > :01:55.to match your medal tally? He got a bronze medal today. He's won a team
:01:55. > :01:58.gold medal, and individual silver medal and a bronze medal. He's a
:01:59. > :02:02.really good friend of mine and I wanted him to come here and when
:02:02. > :02:06.Margaret three gold medals. It's tough, when you are beaten. But
:02:06. > :02:11.he's been amazing, very magnanimous. He's been very kind and said he has
:02:11. > :02:15.been beaten by better people on the day. I think it shows where
:02:15. > :02:20.equestrian has got to. A few years ago, they were riding on borrowed
:02:21. > :02:25.horses. Now every one of them is a thoroughbred. What about the latest
:02:26. > :02:30.news with Oscar Pistorius and his complaint? He basically apologised
:02:30. > :02:38.for the timing of his complaint, didn't he? Not what he actually
:02:38. > :02:42.said? Yes, he was beaten in the 200 metres final, right on the line, by
:02:42. > :02:46.the Brazilian Alan Oliveira. In the post-race interviews he said it was
:02:46. > :02:51.not fair, that he has Longo legs, he is four inches taller than he
:02:51. > :02:55.should be. -- longer legs. He has been petitioning the are you see to
:02:55. > :03:00.get the rules changed. It's quite difficult. They have a maximum
:03:00. > :03:03.height that each athlete is allowed to Dave. They were measured and the
:03:03. > :03:09.IPC came out and said that he was completely within the rules, he has
:03:09. > :03:13.not done anything wrong. When Oscar Pistorius wanted to run the
:03:13. > :03:16.Olympics, he had to decide the length he wanted to use. He had to
:03:16. > :03:21.pick a fairly standard height and went through the testing process.
:03:21. > :03:24.He says if he wants to change the length of his legs, he has to go
:03:25. > :03:32.back through the testing process and will not necessarily be allowed
:03:32. > :03:36.to run mainstream again. Alan Oliveira has gone through the
:03:36. > :03:41.testing, Oscar has disadvantaged himself in a way by going through
:03:41. > :03:44.the rules to get into the Olympics. If he ran close to his personal
:03:44. > :03:48.best, he would have beaten him. He was not on the best of form last
:03:48. > :03:52.night. I think it is the emotion of the race, coming off the track he
:03:52. > :03:57.felt very upset and felt it was important to say those things. The
:03:57. > :04:01.IPC, very carefully, are pushing those issues away. They are going
:04:01. > :04:06.to discuss it after the Games. But we could see a rule change. Very
:04:06. > :04:11.quickly, for the rest of the week, who should we be looking out for?
:04:11. > :04:18.In athletics, Dave Weir. He's in superb form and he's got three more
:04:19. > :04:25.races. He could win another three gold medals. Thank you for keeping
:04:25. > :04:32.us up to date. Let's introduced the medallists. Tandem cyclists
:04:33. > :04:38.Anthoney and Craig, and the rowers, Naomi, Lily, David and James. David,
:04:38. > :04:46.you were Team GB's last hope for in medal on the water. Did that put
:04:46. > :04:50.extra pressure on you? Not really. We knew Tom's result. We heard it
:04:50. > :04:54.coming over the Tannoy. We had a race plan, we trained all winter
:04:54. > :05:01.for it and we focused on what we needed to do. We executed it and we
:05:01. > :05:07.did not let anything else affect us. Naomi, James, you are visually
:05:07. > :05:13.impaired. What was it like when you crossed the line? Is it really
:05:13. > :05:17.something? It really is a roar. I had to ask to clarify we had won. I
:05:17. > :05:22.wasn't entirely sure. It's the most incredible feeling. It only came
:05:22. > :05:28.home to me when I heard somebody on the press pontoon say, Paralympic
:05:28. > :05:31.champion. I thought, that is us, wow. Was it hard for you to
:05:31. > :05:36.communicate to them? It was almost like they didn't really need a cox.
:05:36. > :05:41.The crowd were doing my job for me. They were so loud. It clearly
:05:41. > :05:44.worked. Legacy is the word of the moment since the Olympics and after
:05:44. > :05:49.the Paralympics. We have all learned a great deal about his
:05:49. > :05:54.ability, especially over the last week and a half. Do you think the
:05:54. > :05:57.change in attitude will go on after the Games? Automatic, we will have
:05:57. > :06:02.to wait and see. Paralympic sport is a bit different. -- ultimately
:06:02. > :06:05.we will have to wait and see. I'm pretty confident that these guys
:06:05. > :06:09.compete, and when they compete their disability is neither here
:06:09. > :06:14.nor there. It doesn't matter. People that are not disabled will
:06:14. > :06:18.probably not be able to relate to that. Disabilities are they on the
:06:18. > :06:22.surface, people see and they relate to what they do see. I think it
:06:22. > :06:27.will. You know, nobody can ignore what has been going on. Ultimately,
:06:27. > :06:33.we will have to wait and see. you think it has made a difference
:06:33. > :06:38.with it being a home games? With it not being abroad, there is more
:06:38. > :06:42.ownership? There is a culture thing as well. The British are open to
:06:42. > :06:46.have stuff. Other countries can hide disability, they do not like
:06:46. > :06:49.disability. Well, nobody particularly likes disability. We
:06:49. > :06:54.are open to the fact that it happens and it is there. It is
:06:54. > :06:58.something you have to having your culture. Your faces on our
:06:58. > :07:06.wonderful medal tally that we have over here. We have the game's
:07:06. > :07:11.makers, Chris, Anne and Paula. They are a family, living together in
:07:11. > :07:16.Paula's house. You have the latest face, Ellie Simmonds, to go on the
:07:16. > :07:21.gold medal? I have Ellie Simmonds, her second gold medal of the
:07:21. > :07:29.Olympics, for the women's 200 metre medley. And it was a world record.
:07:29. > :07:35.Brilliant! Round of applause! And a big thank you to all of our
:07:35. > :07:40.Paralympic champions. Brilliant. We are changing tack completely now.
:07:40. > :07:44.love that girl, Ellie Simmonds. She is fabulous. You were saying that
:07:44. > :07:49.you had learned to swim just a few years back? 10 years ago, I taught
:07:49. > :07:55.myself. Are you teaching your grandchildren? No! I can hardly do
:07:55. > :08:01.it myself! I get in it and I am like an old crocodile. I slide down
:08:01. > :08:07.and back. I don't think you can even call it swimming. You had two
:08:07. > :08:13.grandchildren. What type of grandfather are you? Of a morning,
:08:13. > :08:18.I am Uncle Silas, pretty mean. Come afternoon, Mary Poppins. They know
:08:18. > :08:23.in the morning, don't bother him. I don't get out of bed, I slither. I
:08:23. > :08:27.come down and the pans are on the floor and I go mad. Put that back!
:08:27. > :08:31.In the afternoon, they can do what they want, I'm not bothered. More
:08:31. > :08:36.and more grandparents are taking on childcare duties. It's no surprise
:08:36. > :08:40.that it can lead to disagreements on how best to bring up baby.
:08:40. > :08:45.Imagine if you were about to give birth and your mother was Esther
:08:45. > :08:49.Rantzen. You would stay in! I've reached a very important
:08:49. > :08:53.milestone in my life. I'm joining a fabulous club with 14 million other
:08:53. > :09:00.members in Britain, with the arrival of my first grandchild. But
:09:00. > :09:05.how will that change my life? I hope that I will be as mischievous
:09:05. > :09:15.as my grandmother was. I think that relationship, Grand trialled and
:09:15. > :09:18.
:09:18. > :09:23.grandmother is so lovely, when it I'm not sure how I feel about my
:09:23. > :09:26.impending grandmother status. I first got pregnant and I told her,
:09:26. > :09:31.she was really excited and happy. Quite soon afterwards she said she
:09:31. > :09:38.did not want to be called Granny. She said, I'm not a granny, I'm at
:09:38. > :09:42.glamorous. I cannot share with Becca the fact that I am nervous. I
:09:42. > :09:45.don't want to make her nervous. Things can go wrong it. But if
:09:45. > :09:51.things go sailing through beautifully and we have this
:09:51. > :09:56.wonderful new baby, that would be terrific. Like me, Becca works in
:09:56. > :10:02.television. A long, irregular hours can be really tough for a working
:10:02. > :10:06.mother. In the 80s, I often took my children into work with me. Who is
:10:06. > :10:10.that? Emily and my baby Rebecca, nine months old.
:10:10. > :10:13.She will not be able to do that, she will need to find someone else
:10:14. > :10:17.to look after her baby when she is at work. It's actually the case
:10:18. > :10:24.that one in four Working families is forced to rely on grandparents
:10:24. > :10:28.for an estimated �3.9 billion with of child care. But what happens if
:10:28. > :10:37.granny does not see eye-to-eye on how to raise the baby? As you might
:10:37. > :10:43.have guessed, I have strong opinions. You need to practise how
:10:43. > :10:52.to swaddle. Do you know how to? know how anti-swaddle and I am?
:10:52. > :10:57.Why?! Baby's hands, they explore the world with them. Not when they
:10:57. > :10:59.are asleep! I think it's a disgrace. While the idea of being a
:10:59. > :11:03.mischievous granny appeals to me, I'm not very good at biting my
:11:03. > :11:09.tongue. It's time for some advice from my closest friends, POW
:11:09. > :11:18.Mianzhu, who already have nine grandchildren between them. -- POW
:11:18. > :11:26.Is it like this? Chaos every time of grandchildren around? It starts
:11:26. > :11:33.slowly. By the time they go, it's like a tornado has hit. Did you
:11:33. > :11:39.allow your own children to do this? You know the old saying, if you
:11:39. > :11:43.knew how good grandchildren were, you would have started with them.
:11:43. > :11:48.They arrive clean and tidy, they are up for it, they are excited,
:11:49. > :11:58.and when they are tired and revolting, you give them back.
:11:58. > :12:02.had a disagreement. Swaddling. happens is the baby gets out.
:12:02. > :12:07.literally for two weeks, if that. But you cannot interfere. You can
:12:07. > :12:12.give advice. It's very difficult, to be honest, not to say, I would
:12:12. > :12:15.do this. She's right, especially as my daughter has some interesting
:12:15. > :12:19.ideas of her around. When you wanted to be fed, you were fed, no
:12:19. > :12:27.matter what time it was. I was thinking of going by the clock,
:12:27. > :12:32.every three hours. Bloody hell, you're not serious? I will not give
:12:32. > :12:37.you any advice, I will stand by... Bloody hell! What do you mean that
:12:37. > :12:41.you will do that? Right, every three hours. I can always adjust
:12:41. > :12:46.the clock. You are going to be a nightmare, I've got to take your
:12:46. > :12:50.keys away. Don't worry, I have several spare sets. I think he will
:12:51. > :12:55.be the most fun, the most naughty granny that has ever existed. I
:12:56. > :12:59.don't think you will change nappies or help me with the night feeding.
:12:59. > :13:05.I don't think you will be very practical. But I think you will
:13:05. > :13:14.make them very happy. Sounds good to me. I like that deal. I know you
:13:14. > :13:20.So, did she get stuck in and change nappies? Has she swaddled her baby?
:13:20. > :13:30.Was it a boy or girl? We can answer that right now. Joining Paul R S
:13:30. > :13:32.
:13:32. > :13:42.I just offered my services as the new nanny. It's like Billie
:13:42. > :13:49.How many times did you say in the past five weeks, I would not do it
:13:49. > :13:54.like that? I have managed to hold us back, haven't I? Sometimes, my
:13:54. > :13:58.face tells its own story. Company Matra's is telling the story.
:13:58. > :14:04.don't say to do it this way and that way? You do not say it, but it
:14:04. > :14:14.is there. I go, that crying means that he needs feeding. That is what
:14:14. > :14:20.he is trying to do now. She says, no, he needs a cuddle from granny.
:14:20. > :14:24.I think he needs a couple from his nanny! He is just wonderful. This
:14:24. > :14:28.is the problem with new babies, everybody wants a cuddle. Benjamin,
:14:28. > :14:33.it is going to be like this all your life. You are going to be the
:14:33. > :14:43.most lovable, beautiful boy. Remember that I said that when you
:14:43. > :14:43.
:14:43. > :14:48.are 16. When he puts your football through the window! Swaddling, she
:14:48. > :14:52.is so pleased with herself because he absolutely hates it. Some babies
:14:52. > :14:57.really like it. I don't think it is the dramatic torture that she
:14:57. > :15:02.claims it is. What about feeding? When he is hungry or every three
:15:02. > :15:11.hours? When he is hungry. Which averages every three hours. We both
:15:11. > :15:14.win. Fun and games around them! thing that you were concerned about
:15:14. > :15:21.is the whole grandfather thing. It's just the title, grandfather.
:15:21. > :15:26.It's like widow, spinster, it pigeonholes people. Grandfather, I
:15:26. > :15:36.just thought about this old man in the Alps, with a beard, yodelling.
:15:36. > :15:47.
:15:47. > :15:52.I think I am more Catherine Tate's What are you going for? I think he
:15:52. > :15:56.will choose. That's what tends to happen with grandchildren. I keep
:15:56. > :16:01.referring to her as granny and biting it back. I think he will be
:16:01. > :16:06.confused. It will be granny, no Esther, no mum. It's lovely to see
:16:06. > :16:12.you all. Thank you, I consider this your baby. You followed us right
:16:12. > :16:18.the way there. You were nearly there in the labour ward. Is there
:16:18. > :16:21.something you want to tell us? I mean a One Show baby! What are
:16:21. > :16:28.you implying here on live television. Was gone on. You're in
:16:28. > :16:36.trouble when you get home. This is not the Jeremy Kyle show. Let's
:16:36. > :16:40.move on. Like many women becka can last minute nesting. She did retile
:16:40. > :16:50.the kitchen. Miranda Krestovnikoff - I can't speak now - is in
:16:50. > :16:50.
:16:50. > :16:54.Worcester on the trail of a skilled little beagle.
:16:54. > :17:01.The Aspen tree is named because of the way its leaves flutter in the
:17:01. > :17:05.breeze. Despite being admired for their beauty, Aspen trees vai much
:17:05. > :17:11.more important role to play. They form an intriguing relationship
:17:11. > :17:17.with a tiny and colourful beetle called the leaf rolling weavil.
:17:17. > :17:21.It's just four mm long and has an iridescent coppery red and bright
:17:21. > :17:26.green body. They favour the young Aspen, only a couple of metres tall
:17:26. > :17:31.and in direct sunlight. Becoming most active for just a few weeks in
:17:31. > :17:35.early summer, they're responsible for some unusual craftsmanship. I
:17:35. > :17:39.hope that James hitch cock from the Worcester Wildlife Trust can find
:17:39. > :17:46.them in action. That looks like a good candidate. That looks like
:17:46. > :17:50.it's just been done. It does. of these leave rolls is known as a
:17:50. > :17:55.nidus. Delicately crafted to house between one and four of their
:17:55. > :17:58.precious eggs. That was made what a day or two ago, it's still attached.
:17:58. > :18:03.It could have been a day. But they have been out for about ten days
:18:03. > :18:09.now. That is perfect. Beautifully rolled, so neat as well. Now I know
:18:09. > :18:15.what I'm looking for. Let's see if we can find another one. The
:18:15. > :18:21.weavils in the sunshine just glimmer like little jewels. Oh,
:18:21. > :18:26.there's a weavil right here. That is just amazing. These two working
:18:26. > :18:29.together as a team. They obviously like it in the mid. Day when it's
:18:29. > :18:33.sunny. The temperature plays a big part in their activity levels. As
:18:33. > :18:36.it gets warmer the insects are more and more active. That's why they
:18:36. > :18:42.choose these suckers because there's good microclimate here,
:18:42. > :18:46.nice and low down and sheltered and in a good, sunny spots. The weavils
:18:46. > :18:49.choose young, Supple leaves to roll. By biting through the top of the
:18:49. > :18:56.leaf, they cut off supplies from the plant, eventually causing the
:18:56. > :19:02.leaf to dry up and die. Then, using her legs, she pulls the edges in,
:19:02. > :19:07.laying eggs as she goes, sealing with sticky secretions, she rolls
:19:07. > :19:09.the leave until it's fully coiled and her eggs are safe and secure.
:19:09. > :19:14.They're charming. Such beautiful They're charming. Such beautiful
:19:14. > :19:21.insects. They look charismatic. Then they do this amazing thing as
:19:21. > :19:25.well. It's well worth a close look. They are a fantastic little beasty.
:19:25. > :19:29.The males will occasionally assist the fee males in rolling the leaf.
:19:29. > :19:34.Competition is intense and the male will often defend the female from
:19:34. > :19:39.others by engaging in fierce battles, involving violent head-to-
:19:39. > :19:42.head wrestling. A successful roll will fall to the ground where the
:19:42. > :19:45.eggs hatch to become the next generation. Throughout their short
:19:45. > :19:49.lifetime the adults will continue to mate with one another and in
:19:49. > :19:54.turn create up to 30 different rolls. Here it's a real success
:19:54. > :19:58.story. What's the picture around the country? Worcestershire is a
:19:58. > :20:03.hot spot. We have four sites now within the county. But nationwide,
:20:03. > :20:10.there are about 12 sites now. Not doing so good. Over the last ten
:20:10. > :20:15.years, the beetle has declined. It's now to a point where it's
:20:16. > :20:20.considered a conservation priority species. These weavils are
:20:20. > :20:26.indicators of healthy woodlands. Their intripbsic relationship with
:20:26. > :20:29.Aspen is vital to their survival. By committing their lives to
:20:29. > :20:34.rolling these delicate packages, they have become the ultimate
:20:34. > :20:40.masters of their craft. I find it fascinating that such a
:20:40. > :20:44.tiny beetle will go to such lengths to protect her eggs. I hope that by
:20:44. > :20:54.managing these special woodlands our native Aspen will establish new
:20:54. > :20:59.populations of this fascinating Aren't they pretty! Could you love
:20:59. > :21:03.a weavil, Paul? Probably, yeah. course. Overnight I'd develop a
:21:03. > :21:08.very close relationship, I could see it. I'm always putting things
:21:08. > :21:14.out the window you know, spiders. Didn't you get a grasshopper in
:21:14. > :21:19.your bed rl. I have a cricket. At first I would go in the bedroom and
:21:19. > :21:26.it would leap out. I'm used to him now. I'm always at the dogs, "Leave
:21:26. > :21:31.him alone." He's like jimminy cricket. You have a new series that
:21:31. > :21:35.starts tonight over on ITV. For The Love Of Dogs. You are going behind-
:21:35. > :21:39.the-scenes at Battersea dogs and cats home. Let's look at one of the
:21:39. > :21:44.short-term loves of your life that you have while you're there. Roll
:21:44. > :21:50.up and see the beautiful boxer folks. He slobbers, drools, moults,
:21:50. > :21:53.he looks like the back end of a bus and a bit of flatulence. He's just
:21:53. > :21:58.my type. Carmine was brought in because he was too big and
:21:58. > :22:04.boisterous for his old owners. Here's my Carmine, hey. Why haven't
:22:04. > :22:11.you been snapped up a glamour pus like you? Paw. Other paw. High five.
:22:11. > :22:15.Good boy. Do you like other dogs? Do you like company? There would be
:22:15. > :22:19.murder if I turned up with another dog. I know, I know, I shouldn't
:22:19. > :22:22.have favourites, but I can't help it. I'm in love. Aren't you,
:22:22. > :22:27.beautiful boy. Do you think I could sneak him home?
:22:27. > :22:32.APPLAUSE That's the main problem, wanting to
:22:32. > :22:36.take the dogs home. You did break yourself imposed ban in the end.
:22:36. > :22:41.Carmine I would have taken like. That my three, if I bring a big dog
:22:41. > :22:45.in, olga in particular would probably freak and pack her bone
:22:45. > :22:53.and leave home. A puppy they'll accept. I thought I was going on
:22:53. > :23:00.tour, otherwise Carmine, otherwise he would be in the kitchen. That's
:23:00. > :23:04.Eddie. A little chi wow wau what left tied to the gate. She gave
:23:04. > :23:09.birth to this litter. I went back at the end of the series and
:23:09. > :23:14.they've all got homes. He said no, this Rhyl one hasn't. I said oh, go
:23:14. > :23:19.on. He's fabulous, Eddie. How's he settling in? They all love him.
:23:19. > :23:24.Because Olga has a mothering instinct. Look at him! He thinks
:23:24. > :23:30.he's a Rottweiler. He goes up and takes food off the others, bones
:23:30. > :23:35.off them, balls off them and they back off. And he's fiercely loyal.
:23:35. > :23:39.He's probably the loyalest dog after Buster I've ever had. He's a
:23:39. > :23:43.cracking dog. You are busy at the moment. You're doing another series
:23:43. > :23:48.for BBC and is it your third autobiography. Yes the third. It's
:23:48. > :23:53.like Lord of the Rings. I can't stop. What's it's called? Still
:23:53. > :23:58.Standing. After you've read it, you'll think "I'm surprised he is."
:23:58. > :24:02.Is it true Janice long helped you? I wait until everybody has gone to
:24:02. > :24:06.bed. I'm like a vampire. Janice kept me company all the way through.
:24:06. > :24:12.It It's the only time you've got time. This is it. The mind is clear
:24:12. > :24:16.and the phone's not going. With my two fingers on the laptop. Great,
:24:16. > :24:21.well Paul's For The Love Of Dogs starts tonight at 8pm on ITV1. And
:24:21. > :24:25.the book is out on October 11. Everybody loves a wedding. Isn't
:24:25. > :24:31.that right? No, I hate them. I don't mind a good funeral but I
:24:31. > :24:35.can't bear weddings. Enforced joviality and kids in bridesmaids'
:24:35. > :24:41.frocks, posing for photos every ten seconds and buying presents they
:24:41. > :24:46.don't want. You have to trek miles and stay in a Laosy B&B. All right!
:24:46. > :24:51.No I don't. Don't invite me to your wedding.
:24:51. > :24:56.Your funeral you'll turn up. Don't invite Paul. For those of us who do
:24:56. > :25:01.like a wedding, here's how to capture the moment perfectly.
:25:01. > :25:04.Weddings, for those involved having great photos of the big day is
:25:04. > :25:10.vitally important. So, we get professionals in to dot job, but
:25:10. > :25:14.what is it that makes their photos of your big day look more, well
:25:14. > :25:18.professional than uncle Bob's snaps. Sean is one of the best wedding
:25:18. > :25:22.photographers in the business. look for the light and the emotion
:25:22. > :25:25.and interaction between people and we can do it with a smartphone or
:25:25. > :25:30.compact camera. Today I'm riding shot gun to watch him at work.
:25:30. > :25:36.First, Peter, the nervous groom. Sean finds a spot where he can
:25:36. > :25:39.control the light. How come you've closed the curtains? I want just a
:25:39. > :25:46.definition between the light on his face here and shadow on this side.
:25:46. > :25:50.By closing them, I reduce the light ever so slightly.
:25:50. > :25:56.The narrow shaft of light draws the eye to Peter with the background
:25:56. > :25:59.receding into relative darkness. Next, a group shot with Peter's
:25:59. > :26:03.mates. Can you rest like that. That's good. We're trying to break
:26:03. > :26:08.up the lines. We don't want them in a straight line, hands in pockets
:26:08. > :26:11.looking normal. We want to keep a diamond formation. The shot is
:26:11. > :26:17.posed but it appears completely natural. The hall mark of a real
:26:17. > :26:21.pro. It's all go. We have less than an hour to photograph Laura, the
:26:21. > :26:25.bride, getting into her dress. bride into the dress is something
:26:25. > :26:32.that a lot of girls dream of from an early age. It's a key moment to
:26:32. > :26:37.get. It's the details that are important. Like the lacing of the
:26:37. > :26:42.corset. We're going to get really nice portraits of Laura. What I can
:26:42. > :26:45.see now is what Peter will see when he walks down the aisle. I want him
:26:45. > :26:51.to remember that both in his mind and in photograph. Sean controls
:26:51. > :26:58.the light by drawing the curtains. To prove this works just as well on
:26:58. > :27:03.a camera phone... Sean is constantly looking for unusual
:27:03. > :27:11.angles. And using devices like reflections to get something
:27:11. > :27:21.different. In the ceremony itself, Sean makes
:27:21. > :27:23.
:27:23. > :27:27.sure he gets all the important After the service, Sean has the
:27:27. > :27:35.couple to himself. This walk allows for lovely intimate shots in a
:27:35. > :27:41.stunning environment. He's constantly directing the couple.
:27:41. > :27:51.up there, practice your first dance for me. Oh, no. That's perfect.
:27:51. > :27:52.
:27:52. > :27:58.This is an Aprilure in the gate giving lovely framing for nice
:27:58. > :28:02.moments of the two of them. When the conditions take a turn for
:28:02. > :28:05.the worst, he turn it's into an opportunity. It's horrible, it's
:28:05. > :28:12.pouring down, but getting them running through the rain is just
:28:12. > :28:17.fantastic. Formal group shots can be
:28:17. > :28:23.challenging. People tend to line up stiffly and it's hard work getting
:28:23. > :28:29.them relaxed. The boys think it's a free kick. Put your hands behind
:28:29. > :28:33.your backs. Turn in as well. We're going to have everybody turn two
:28:33. > :28:36.thirds in. It's more flattering. It brings everyone together and looks
:28:36. > :28:43.like a family. If you stand people normally, they stand about this far
:28:43. > :28:47.apart, even the two that just got married. In the late evening, when
:28:47. > :28:50.things get more informal, Sean gets the shots that make a wedding a
:28:51. > :28:54.wedding. If there's one thing I've learned about wedding photography
:28:54. > :28:57.today it's that you can't afford to hang around on the outside looking
:28:57. > :29:00.in. You have to be right in the middle of things, in the action,
:29:00. > :29:05.seeing potential photographs and making them happen. Sean did make
:29:05. > :29:09.it happen. This is a set of photographs that will be treasured
:29:09. > :29:12.photographs that will be treasured for a lifetime.
:29:12. > :29:16.That one's lovely. Great film. So many tips. That tip about
:29:16. > :29:21.pretending to dance. And the curtains. Yeah. There you are. Next
:29:21. > :29:24.time you go. It still hasn't moved me though. I just see him as a
