But he almost said no toroyal wedding. He had been traveling in South America with his family for six months when one night everything they owned was stolen, including his camera equipment. He managed to get internet access the next day, and “bizarrely there was an email from Camilla Parker Bowles saying that she had a big date coming up in April, and she wanted to know if I’d be available to take some photos.
The Throne Room was where Burnand and his team were to take those important historical portraits. “We wanted it to look like a spring day and, of course, no one knew if it would actually be a spring day so we lit it through the windows so it would, regardless,” he says. “There was one picture I really wanted to take, but we were only allowed to take this picture if we had achieved everything else.”After an enormous amount of planning, April 29 finally arrived. Just after sunrise, the streets surrounding Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace were already bustling with millions of well-wishes, each hoping to catch a glimpse of William and Kate's special day.

The Duke of Cambridge and Catherine pose with their bridesmaids and page boys in the throne room of Buckingham Palace.“That was a very spontaneous picture. That little detail there [points to Kate’s hand touching William’s knee] and William leaning in there, all these things were not directed, but a result of a good relationship with everyone.” It was Burnand's favorite portrait from the day.
