Me & My Approach | Wedding Photographer

The organising, the crafting and excitement is all what makes the wedding planning so fun! So that’s why I’m there, not just as a photographer but as someone who can help and support you where you may need it to ensure you have the most fun and best celebrations on your wedding day, without the stress!

I’ve also written a very helpful and useful guide on what to do now you’re engaged, you should bookmark it as your new go-to.

You’ll also have access to WhatsApp me for quick queries, and email at any time with more detail and a promise of swift responses. How it should be.

It’s all about the celebration with your guests on a wedding day… And for me, my approach is to give full focus on documenting your family and guests, their personalities and their embraces with you. No one likes posing, it’s true; But to appease parents it’s nice to capture a few formal group photos on your wedding day without feeling like you’re forcing a smile, a shortlist of around 4-8 is always best. By suggesting limiting group photos to a short time, it means you can get back to the celebrations and champagne and canapés and not feeling like Chandler Bing! Throughout the day I like to capture the rest of your guests in my natural candid and flattering style when everyone is looking their best and in great spirits… Less time posing and certainly more time celebrating!

Portraits aren’t about holding each other like soulless mannequins or trying to duplicate an image you’ve seen of another couple situated in another country. It’s about you, your feelings and your emotion on your wedding day as you feel it, with a little guidance where needed. Taking up to 30 minutes maximum, your portraits will be natural, relaxed and an opportunity for you to stroll to a quiet spot where you’ll have full reign to be yourselves and get excited together, it’s about documenting just those moments.

Capturing the evening, is just as important as capturing the preparations. Most will leave after one song following the first dance which is not near enough time to capture your evening guests and relaxed personalities and giving it the space they need to feel free and in tune with the live entertainment! No time limits or clock watching, the dance floor is captured with all the expertise and fun it deserves.

I use a technical setup of flattering lighting to be able to photograph the action and emotion on the dance floor and throughout the evening reception, beyond the band’s first set! I’ll confess, the dance floor is brilliant and often I’m able to capture some fantastic moves from those who have been very reserved throughout the day.

Following your wedding, I will review, assess, edit and deliver in hi-resolution your stunning memories for you to relive over a year, 5 years or 15 years! However often you prefer to look over your wedding day again.

Your album is your story, the one you re-tell while clasping onto a warm tea. Once you’ve received your gallery, I’ll carefully select your highlight moments to arrange into a fine art linen album, perfectly framing and telling your love story with your vision in mind. There’ll be a chance to input your image preferences and fully approve the album ahead of its hand made design and printing. Ready for you to hold and cherish for good!
