Hey Siri, play Cruel Summer.
A part of getting to know you is getting to know your vibe.
Your music. What makes your heart sing and your step spring? To get to know you is to spend time running through your plans with you, FaceTiming you and late night DM'ing you, and it makes every bit of difference to the experience when the day comes.
You won't have to worry because I'll have learned about the quirks that matter the most to you so that you can relax and enjoy the moment, whilst I document every bit of your story.
my style
You'll often hear terminology like 'documentary', 'candid' and 'reportage' when looking for wedding photographers
...and whilst those words can define particular styles, I've found that it's difficult to categorise my work under a specific genre
In order to accurately portray a couples story and the day that unfolds, I see my work as more of a collaboration between myself and the couple. Everyone is different - some like to display their affection where others might show it in fleeting moments.
Booking a wedding photographer isn't often a decision that's made lightly, so when someone makes the choice to work with me I never take it for granted. From that moment onwards it becomes my responsibility to portray your story as best as I possibly can.
My inspiration is drawn from all over, from fashion and editorials to the tv shows I'm currently watching.
I understand the copious amount of work that goes into creating your day, the decisions made and remade.
I pay close attention to every carefully crafted element and the behind the scenes that you don't get to see; flowers being arranged, the candles being lit.
And when I say details I don't just mean design choices, but the people too. Details that often go unnoticed; hands touching and affectionate glances. I may be calm on the surface but there isn't a moment where I'm not observing everything around me. The fleeting touches, waist clutches and face blushes; I'll not only capture how things look but how they *feel* too.
the couple shoot
the dance floor
Couple shoots usually take place after the ceremony and just before the sun sets, aptly named golden hour. I'll invite you to join me for 15 minutes in the beautiful surroundings of your venue. Now is your time to unwind, where the only thing you have to think about is each other. By now I'll know the type of images that resonate with you, the things that make you smile.
And don't worry about standing in front of the camera wondering what to do next, I'll be subtly nudging you in the right direction whilst allowing you to be yourselves.
the dance floor
back to start
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*.
