I offer a highly discreet approach which ensures wedding attendees act naturally in front of my lens,. I will also help you achieve the required results without taking over your day, and can offer a candid style, acting as a guest as well as a photographer.

Many people love looking at photographs but dislike posing for the cameras. Some people find the process of having their photo taken exceptionally awkward and find it hard to relax in front of a camera. If you opt for my discreet services, your guests will forget that I am even present, which means the shots will look far more natural than if they were staged. You can make the memories whilst I capture them.

Researching the right choices for your needs doesn’t need to be a minefield, and once you know what king of photography style is best for your requirements, the search for a reputable and reliable photographer can be shortened substantially. The documentary style has become immensely popular over recent years, with couples loving the way that it enables shots to be taken candidly without themselves or their guests even noticing. I can take the shots without moving any objects or interfering with elements, although I can also provide traditional portrait shots if you want them as part of your wedding album.

Capturing those magic moments

I will ensure all those special moments are captured, including not only the big moments all your guests see but also magical intimate events only witnessed by a handful of people. My approach is focused on ensuring the range of emotions felt throughout the day is recorded so that you have something remarkable to look back on.

As an experienced documentary wedding photographer, I am able to anticipate scenes before they happen, and I spend much of my time seeking out those special moments that you’ll be able to look back on fondly forever. If you do need a photographer for your wedding but wish to avoid predictable, cliched and staged images, I can provide what you are looking for. Once your images are committed to an album, you’ll be able to see your day unfold as you turn each page. Each image will be a vital part of the story.

Extensive attention to detail

Another key purpose of documentary photography is to capture a host of tiny but vital details that not every guest will notice. These can include everything from your table settings to flowers, wedding favours and more. It’s very important that all the subtle details that you have chosen to make your wedding truly special are reflected in the resulting photographs, and I will use my eye for detail to ensure that nothing is overlooked.

The aim is to ensure you are immediately transported back to your special day each time you view the photographs. You and your guests won’t have to stop what you’re doing when I capture the images and you will be free to focus on having a fantastic time rather than being interrupted on a frequent basis. There is no reason to stop enjoying yourself so I can take the photographs, so feel free to relax and behave just as you would be as if a photographer was absent from the proceedings.

Natural and spontaneous

Many incredible spontaneous and unplanned moments can occur during a wedding. These can include everything from two guests who had never previously met sharing a joke and seizing the spirit of your day to long-lost friends and relatives embracing each other after years apart. I aim to capture images that ooze with joy, happiness and jubilation. Wedding photography isn’t just about a photographer being present at the ceremony itself – I can remain with you throughout the whole day, ensuring everything from your exciting morning preparations right through to your sit-down meal and reception is captured in your photo album. If you do have any special requests, I will always do my best to accommodate them.

See what you missed

The benefits of hiring a professional wedding photographer with an excellent reputation don’t end there. It’s inevitable that there are many moments you miss during your big day. You’ll be extremely busy throughout, but wedding photography can give you an extra insight into what was occurring when you were tied up elsewhere. You’ll see things such as your guest’s reactions when you walk down the aisle, your spouse preparing for the wedding, your loved one arriving at the venue and so much more. Seeing what you missed is one of the fantastic features of natural wedding photography and it can throw up so many nice surprises and provide captivating insight into what happened outside of your immediate sphere of vision.

The ‘WoW’ factor

The world of wedding photography has evolved hugely over the years, with new technology enabling us to create increasingly impressive shots to capture your day. I have a range of photography tools at my disposal that will give your images the ‘wow’ factor that you are looking for. I am more than happy to explain the benefits of various photography styles to you and talk to you in-depth about the advantages that my equipment and resources deliver.

A professional wedding photographer will help you avoid being stuck with over-exposed, blurry images and greatly surpass anything even the best smartphone cameras can offer. A key reason for working with a highly reputable photographer is that you can relax in the knowledge that they are competent and experienced enough to carry out the task efficiently. It’s incredibly important not to take risks with inferior photography services, as you could come to bitterly regret this decision.

Having a keen eye for unique shots and different locations to take photographs is a key aspect of being a documentary wedding photographer so if you’re looking for something outside of the norm and want images that also have an artistic feel, I can certainly help you achieve your goal.

A collaborative approach

It is incredibly important to do your research and plan carefully when you require wedding photography services. You only have one chance to get it right, which is why it’s essential that you choose a highly-experienced and accomplished wedding photographer with an excellent track record. I have been working in various fields of photography for many years, and I am only happy when my clients are totally satisfied with the results that I have provided to them.

The risks of hiring friends of family members

Some couples are tempted to enlist the services of photographers they know personally when planning a wedding. There are many reasons why this is a bad idea. One of the biggest reasons that this should be avoided is that this deprives them of a chance to fully immerse themselves in your celebrations. Wedding photography is intense work that requires professionals to remain on their toes at all times – so it really is best to avoid this if you want a photographer you know very well to be part of the revelry.
