The experience

Not Just a
Wedding Photographer

My Approach

There is no single wedding photographer that is perfect for every couple. They'll have a fundamental impact on the atmosphere of the day, as well as the memories that you're left with. The next few paragraphs will give you a better idea of whether or not I’m the right fit for you.

A 'Relaxing'
Presence.

I'm often described as a 'relaxing presence'. Authoritative only when I need to be, and subtly driving the day forward so as to keep energy levels high.

I spend the time getting to know you and your guests so that when I'm working, everyone remains in their element. This approach in combination with my style of photography forms a blend of authenticity and editorialism.

I give particular focus to bringing out the most in each and every moment. I intentionally slow things down during the couple shoot which will be two effortless 10 minute sessions; I keep it short and strategically choose times such as in between meal courses so that your guests will barely notice you've been gone, but also allows enough time to create the most intimate images that may have previously seemed out of reach.

There's no pressure to perform during your portraits, I'll be softly nudging you in the right direction and talking you through the whole thing.

The Dance Floor

I'm not a photographer who leaves as soon as you've finished your first dance, because those who know me know that I love a good night out and so I feel right at home on the dance floor. I'll swap to a wide angle lens, mount my flash gun and get into the middle of the action to document the chaos and jubilation that ensues.

Some of my all time favourite photos have come from the dance floor which is why I don't set off as soon as the first dance is finished. This is the time for you and your guests to truly let your hair down so you can throw down - leave it until the morning to regret that I've captured absolutely everything.

The Edit

Classic, Graceful and Warm.

My edit has a graceful, classic feel with a dash of warmth. Green tones are natural but warm, whilst skin and textures are soft with fine details subtly enhanced.

That last bit is so important, because most people spend hours having their hair done in the morning and have chosen an outfit with the finest details, so I spend a lot of care ensuring those details are clearly reflected in my images.

Throughout the day I use flash sparingly and only in moments where I feel it adds something to the image. Sometimes, I'll use flash to create a more editorial look where the moment calls for it, and when the evening comes I'll add direct flash for the dance floor and night time couple portraits for that classy Vogue look.

Next Steps

If what I've said has resonated with you, we might just be the perfect fit.

Hopefully my transparent approach to how I work has confirmed whether or not we're a good fit for each other.

I'm looking for couples who want the most beautiful day and the images to reflect the fun they had to look back on for decades to come.

So, if you're ready to take the next step, let's do this!
