a creative approach to wedding photography

I like to ensure the photograph is not only well executed (from lighting to composition and emotional tone) but is also unique and hasn’t been taken by numerous other photographers. Great pride is taken in delivering unique photographs so my couples know that nobody else has the same image. For me this is super important and it ensures my work stays fresh and inventive.

Execution is also something that plays a vital role in how good a wedding photograph can be. So many factors can contribute to a well taken photograph and light is one of them. I pay a lot of attention to light and use it in such a way it’s defined my style as a creative wedding photographer over the last 13 years. Many couples today opt for a winter wedding (where you get very little daylight hours) so having a keen understanding of light is imperative.

If (like me) you’re not a huge fan of having your photograph taken but would still want the best memories & photographs from the day, then choosing a photographer you’re comfortable with is crucial. I stay clear of anything cheesy or cliché and avoid overly staged photos.

Couples who hire me to capture their wedding are those who still want their day documenting naturally but are also keen for something a little more unique and creative. If you like artistic photographs with style and flare then keep reading!

capturing the story of your day

So it’s not all about taking the wow shots! Most of the photographs I capture will be the ones you didn’t even know I’d taken. Throughout the day I like to blend into the background and capture the story of your day unfold naturally.

Coverage: I don’t believe in leaving straight after first dance. Some of the best shots can be when guests have had a drink and they’re warming up the dancefloor! But most importantly, I like to capture the full story of your day. Rather than the last shot being on the dancefloor, nothing beats a super cool night shot to end your story on a high (A great way to end your storybook wedding album too)

Two Professional Photographers

Having 2 professional photographers will bring many advantages. As I can only be in one place at one time, many important photographs would be missed with only a single photographer. It also means we can cover more of your day (from both sides in the morning) which goes to tell a much better story of your day.

You’ll ultimately get more photographs and furthermore, we can get those wow shots with certain lighting setups in no time (some of which wouldn’t be possible without the second photographer) so its a win win!
