This may sound cheesy but honestly, all of them! Part of working on a wedding is spending hours and hours editing your photos and that means by the time you get your photos we know your wedding day like the back of our hand. The real value in photography is how, years from now, you can look back and remember your wedding day in beautiful detail. That's why we always work as a pair, we know you want to remember everything and that way we don't miss a thing!
Natural, candid, fun, authentic and intimate.
It's hard not to feel proud when you hear back from a couple after receiving their pictures and they absolutely love them. Some of the feedback we get the most is about how comfortable we make people feel whilst photographing them. It's the feedback we love to get most because we believe that everything about getting good photos starts with you feeling comfortable to just be yourself. That's what we'll help you do, so when you look back on your photos you'll remember how at ease and happy you were not how awkward you felt whilst posing!
Wedding planning can be stressful, there's a lot to do! But it can be even more stressful if you feel pressure to do things you don't want to do.

Get wet..... We're joking but in all seriousness embrace it! There can be so much pressure for everything to be perfect on your wedding day but if there's one thing you definitely can't control it's the weather. And don't worry we've got your back!

We'd both been passionate about photography for years before we even met and had worked as wedding photographers separately. We share a love for film photography which is how we both started, on occasion we even bring a film camera or two to a wedding.
