Real moments

I know that, when you look back on your wedding photos, you don’t want to remember feeling awkward in front of the camera, posing for overly staged pictures. You want images that tell the story of your wedding just as you remember it; real moments for you to cherish. While you want natural images, you’re also keen to avoid things like double chins or trees appearing to grow out the back of your head! That’s where I step in. I’ll guide you but I’ll do it in a way that keeps the experience comfortable and enjoyable, and the images true to life.

Natural images

Of course, it’s not all about the ‘couple shots’ (although these are the pictures that you’ll want to get framed). The group photos are really important too (more pictures for your mantelpiece!). Again, when it comes to the group shots, I’ll give everyone some advice on how to stand but I’ll ensure that the pictures aren’t too formal. You don’t want people looking uncomfortable or devoid of emotion!

An eye for detail

I know you want lots of candid images too, so I’ll be discreetly snapping away in the background throughout the day. Often the best photos are the ones where the person didn’t know they were having their picture taken! The drinks reception and speeches are always a great opportunity for this style of photography. Last but not least, you’ll want to remember all the wee details that you put so much time and effort into planning! These things are an important part of your story and I’ll make the the time to capture them.

LET'S CHAT!
