... to a Hells Angels wedding? 😯
I've been booked to shoot one next summer and the theme is Denim and Leather. Should I make an effort to blend in or will I get laughed at (or worse!) for wearing bikey type stuff? Tempted just to turn up in my usual linen suit but I would definitely stick out like a sore thumb.
I'm a bit wary as I shot a two day 'festival' wedding this summer and turned up in jeans and a t-shirt. Everyone else came out of their tents dressed up to the nines. Felt a bit stupid.
erm. have you thought about asking the client?
jeans & T shirt should do
Yes, I have thought about asking the client, but decided it would be more fun to ask on here.
Just wear this under the jacket and you'll be fine.

Buff worn bandana style ? Old-school metal denim jacket with CANON stitched across the back ?
pink wings, brown wings, black wings. and an army hat.
if you haven't read [url= http://www.amazon.com/Hells-Angels-Hunter-S-Thompson/dp/0345410084 ]this[/url] you should do
Surely, if it's Hells Angels...it's a civil partnership?
Not an important distinction, but worth noting.
Definitely try to get the biker look and you should be ok.

They're just big fat tattooed beardies with big bellies that ride noisy motorbikes, so don't worry, they're not real hard like roadies.
^ I do chuckle when I see them. Big fat old men trying to fit in.
Some 'interesting' suggestions, thanks. I have read Thompson's account and hope to get away without getting the bejaysus kicked out of me for being too intrusive.
Really looking forward to it actually - they're trying to get permission to wear the club colours for their 10 mile cavalcade to the venue - should make for a decent set of pics 🙂
EDIT: Oh and I know that the modern perception of Angels is that they're all lawyers and accountants. The groom to be friended me on Facebook and going by his pics, this particular chapter still have teeth. The groom himself is 6'8" and built like a tank. Won't be messing this wedding up!*
*Or anyone else's, obviously.
mmmmmmmmm Just ask??
I would just wear denim and my bike jacket. But that's probably not totally helpful.
