My Approach
There’s a few traits that I have when shooting a wedding, top of that list is how well I fit in with the wedding. I believe the way that I interact with your guests and how well I judge the feel of the day is the best way to get your pictures.
I’m there to shoot the story of your day, I do love the romance but equally love the party. When necessary I am unobtrusive and dictate as little as possible. Some of the best photos come from unrehearsed situations and I feel that emotional content is just as important as camera wizardry. Equally I won’t shy away from getting involved and setting a scene to get the best possible images, like groupshots; they’re a painstaking process if not orchestrated properly, so I’ll usually just ask bride and groom to assume position, draft in the biggest groomsman and get your guests in and out. No faffing, promise.
I’m not the type of photographer who’s happy with what comes out of the camera. Every single photo needs some amount of attention, sometimes it’s just a few tweaks. Sometimes it’s about creating something that’s simply not possible through a lens alone.
How it Works
So we’ll have a pre wedding meet up and chat as much as we can about your big day. It’s always important to make the couple feel relaxed around me. I like to get to know every couple, to see what styles they like and to inspire each other. I love to hear what my couples are looking for in their wedding photographer and I also take the opportunity to answer any questions you guys might have.
In the run up to the big day you’ll have my phone number and we can chat at any point you wish. I’ll be here to offer advice if you need any, point you in the right direction of trusted suppliers and of course chat about the big day itself!
When we have our pre wedding meet up I’ll ask you guys to go through the order of the day, organise the group shots and generally make you feel super relaxed about the whole photo situation.
