MY APPROACH

Congratualtions on your upcoming wedding! I would love to photograph your big day.

No two weddings are the same. Every person, every couple and every event is unique and it is always my priority to capture the true character of your day in my images. I use a skilful blend of documentary storytelling and creative portraiture to give you a set of natural, authentic and artistic images that tell the full story of your wedding.

I typically photograph the whole day from the preparations right through to the dancing. By dancing I don’t mean that I leave after your first dance. I do stay for an hour to capture all the crazy action with friends and family on the dancefloor!
You can see examples of images taken at every part of the wedding day here.

DOCUMENTARY STORYTELLING

A wedding takes so much preparation but passes by so fast. This is why it is so important to capture the energy, interactions and emotion in all those unique moments that occur throughout the day, before they fade into memory. My photojournalistic style means I’m not interested in fake grins or posing people. I have a very hands-off, unobtrusive approach to capturing all those moments, details, emotions and personalities that make your day so special to you. Every wedding is different and I consider it very important to capture the personality and atmosphere of each individual event. Check out some of my favourite moments captured here on the portfolio page, scroll down for the Moments Gallery.

CREATIVE COUPLE PORTRAITS

Most couples also want a few artistic portraits of themselves utilising their venue surroundings and interiors. I also usually spend around 15-30 mins on the day directing you in a very natural way for a few creative, high-impact portraits. I keep this brief so you don’t have to spend too long away from your guests, and natural and unposed so you can feel comfortable in front of the camera.

I love to incorporate scenery, landscapes, colour and beautiful light in to my images to create vibrant, dynamic, modern portraits that also reflect the time and place you were married. I’ll happily follow you up a mountain on your big day if you’ve chosen a wedding venue with some stunning surroundings.
