Our Style
We’ll start with the bride’s preparations, which always yields some gems! It may seem intimidating to have a photographer around at this point but it’s a great time for you to get used to the camera so you start to forget about it. If time allows I can also call in on the groom, at home or in the pub! In any case I’ll leave ahead of you – so I’m at the ceremony location in time to capture guests arriving.
Assuming you have permission from the officiator, I fully cover the ceremony and can get a few different angles very unobtrusively. I never use distracting flash during the ceremony.
We’ll confirm any formal group photos with you beforehand. We recommend only about half a dozen set-up groups, and we’ll keep them quick and laid-back so no one gets bored! I really come into my own with time to mingle and wander as you chat with your guests – you’ll be amazed at some of the moments I catch.
Having said that, plan to spend a few quiet minutes away from your guests at some time during the day so we can capture the two of you just concentrating on each other. Couples often say how much they enjoy this bit – a few peaceful moments to themselves during a very hectic day!
If you’ve choreographed your first dance, or you’ve got lots of evening guests, or fireworks later, don’t trust it to the cameras of guests who are slightly worse for wear! I’ll properly light my photos (without detracting from disco lights in any way) and you’ll end up with as beautiful memories of the evening as of the day.

Other Sessions… completing the picture
Pre-wedding session
While I’m confident you’ll be quickly at ease with me on the wedding day whether you have a pre-wedding shoot or not, most people aren’t used to having a camera around them all day long. This shoot totally relaxes you to the idea – and you’ll be surprised how much fun it is! You pick a location, all edited images are yours to keep, and we’ll create invites or a guest signing board or book from the photos.
Post-wedding ‘Take Two’ session
You spent so much time and money on the dress – you should wear it again! Especially if the weather was bad on your wedding day, or we didn’t get much time for photos of just the two of you together. We’ll be as tame or wild as your imagination and get some amazing unusual images, without harming your dress! You’ll get all edited images on USB, plus choose thank you cards, a canvas or a book created from the photos.
