"...KEEPING IT HONEST FOR EASY GOING AND LIGHT-HEARTED COUPLES"
My wedding photography at its core is documentary, with rich classic tones and nostalgic vibes. I incorporate classics and timeless couples shots into the mix. I also have a signature style of Films that keep things elegant and classic. But at the absolute base of it all… I love working with couples who are essentially looking for the day to be documented just as it happens - with a teeny weeny bit of subtle mood. I'm best suited for couples who are light-hearted, easy-going, wildly in love, and who aren’t afraid to let loose and have some fun. Weddings are one of the most important times in life and if you are excited about that - you’ll have me buzzing in the same way also!
"...Unobtrusive, well kind of"
Typically throughout a wedding day, I won't get in your way, I will keep myself to myself, I won't lurk in the shadows, but I won't be bugging that absolute crap out of you. I like to chat to folks from time to time - I'm never going to ask you or your guests to do anything that makes you feel like you are acting. Apart from if people during family portraits look like rabbits in headlights - I might try to mix it up then. I mean, sure, if you want those amazing couple shots you see on my portfolio, I may have to guide you in some way. Unless of course, you are actually a model, then you will know exactly what to do! But, 9 time out of 10, the couples that book me, are straight up easy going normal folks who are not featuring on the front of magazines for a living. There maybe a few times I ask you to move to the natural light during bridal prep - if in the heat of the moment you choose to get your shoes in a cupboard or corner of the room. But, a part from that, its your day, your life, your aspiration to have done things your way - It's a documentary approach. 95% of my wedding coverage being made up with natural documentary wedding photography or videography footage as the wedding day itself unfolds. So that's, shots of you having giggles with your bridesmaid's on the wedding morning, or shots of the father of bride seeing you for the first time in your dress. Plus all those sweet and funny little moments between. ( i'm never going to ask you and your bridesmaids to fake laugh )
The remaining 5%... is made up of stunning wedding portraits, beautiful cinematic wedding footage for wedding films or family group shots, plus those beautiful bridal groom photographs you will see on my website and social media pages.
"...on trend, but classic"
My work is classic. I'am not a preset warrior. I like to keep things as close to real-life colour as I can. I don't mess around making weddings shot in Somerset, look like they are taken in some far flung place on the edge of Europe. It's on trend enough, that it wont go out of trend! You won't be looking back in 20 years time thinking WOW! why the hell is there a weird hue in the sky or why do the trees look like it's winter - when I actually actually had a summer wedding? Im not a light and airy photographer. I don't even know how to edit like that.
The whole point for me, is to ensure that the images I give couples have longevity.. Not just image's that make an impact on instagram in 2024 and then by 2025 look dated. It's not about me or the industry, it's about YOU the couple, and making sure what happened is documented and actually looks authentic and real!
"In a nutshell..."
If you have a desire a large-scale wedding where you rip up the dance floor and dance the night away, or an intimate exchange of vows for just the two of you, I am here to capture every moment. From adventurous crazy high energy celebrations to a simple slow dance with an intimate guest list. Your day captured will be as unique as your love and the family story you have written. My only request is that your day is a true reflection of your authentic selves, where your love for each other shines bright. Whether your day is wild and free or softly spoken, it will be driven by the raw and genuine you.
I capture weddings rich with feeling, and overflowing with pure devotion in an elegant and genuinely authentic documentary way, paired with beautiful couple shots that take a laid back approach.
