MY APPROACH

Natural Wedding Photography

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 natural, documentary wedding photography 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.

CREATIVE  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.

ARTISTIC 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.

STRESS FREE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

I really enjoy connecting with my couples and giving them a relaxed and stress-free experience. I keep the whole process fun and laid-back making sure I understand what is most important to you. I’ve been told many times that I’m pretty good at making my couples feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera.

EXPERIENCE, PUBLISHING & AWARDS

I learned my craft by training with top UK wedding photographers in all aspects of the business including, portraiture, lighting, digital image editing and business practice. With extensive training in creative lighting and flash photography, I’m able to offer a technically excellent service. You can have complete confidence in my ability to create stunning photographs whatever the weather and in any kind of lighting conditions.

I have had my wedding images published with top wedding and training blogs such as The Wedding Affair, Brides up North and the Photography Academy and with magazines such as Belle Bridal and Yorkshire Life. I am also a qualified photographer with the Guild of Professional Wedding Photographers, and have won several awards with the Masters of Wedding Photography.

Kirsty is really fun to work with. She is very professional and she made the experience of having our wedding photographs taken very low stress, which meant we were able to relax and have fun in her company. She was very unobtrusive throughout the day but was there when we needed her for those special shots. We also loved seeing all the candid moments she captured, some of which we did not even know happened on the day! The images are stunning and edited beautifully and exactly in the style that we were looking for. They tell a beautiful cohesive story of our wedding day.
