My Style & Approach to Wedding Photography
Unobtrusive, candid, natural, spontaneous, storytelling, documentary, reportage. These are all words used to describe my style of wedding photography. Even your couple portraits are un posed, giving you natural, fun, romantic images that are as unique as you.
"It's not a photo shoot, it's your wedding day"
I want you to relax and enjoy your day and not feel like you are being pestered for photos all the time. I stay in the background capturing your beautiful story with timeless images that not only preserve the incredible moments but all the true emotion and atmosphere. I have many years experience of looking and listening and being in the right place at the right time for the perfect shot.
The Time
I like to tell the whole story of your day, so I am normally there from when you are getting ready to way beyond your first dance. I don't want to miss the party! When the evening buffet/food arrives is often a good finish time. However, if there are still unique moments happening I will still be there taking photos! If you would like less photography coverage, a bespoke collection is tailormade to your exact requirements.
The Moments
My approach enables me to photograph genuine moments as they unfold. Capturing the essence of your day. The BIG moments. Laughing with your bridesmaids, walking down the aisle, your faces as you see each other, first kiss, first dance, cutting the cake. But it's also all about those little moments, magic, spontaneous unique moments that you may not even see. The emotion on the faces of your proud parents, guests greeting each other when they arrive, a hug from Grandma, your flower girl hiding under the cake table or falling asleep amongst the presents. Or Grandpa throwing some shapes on the dance floor.
The People
I am often asked if I have a favourite venue. I can never answer this, as for me weddings are more about the people than the place. The fun, the laughter, the love. I don't intrude, stop proceedings or tell people what to do! For the majority of the day I blend into the background. The only time I will be evident is during any group photos you wish me to take. These will have been planned beforehand and I take them quickly and efficiently, so that you can get back to enjoying your celebration.
The Details
I know how much time and care you have taken to choose all the little details and decor that will make your wedding day truly special. So I make sure that these, along with everything you love about the venue are included in your story. I will also do anything I can to help make your day go well. I am often seen taking button holes and other items (including groomsmen!) from the house to the ceremony venue, or helping with my 'emergency kit' during the day. I have often asked for things, especially in the morning and always have at least the following with me - safety pins, needle and thread, croquet hook (if you know, you know), scissors, a pen, plasters, Rennie!
