Documentary style with a mixture of formal group photos and a relaxed couple portrait photo shoot.
From taking redundancy from my previous job in 2012 to building a photography business with happy clients covering around 60 weddings per year. I love my job !
Unplug your wedding ! If you hire a competent professional photographer you don't need mobile phones blocking the isle and photos posted on social media even before you're married.
I love to see how creative couples can be with details such as favours and table name tags.
If possible I like to hold consultation with the bride and groom to show samples of my work at their chosen venue and have a chat about how a photographer covers the big day. I inform them of my insurance and backup policy and if they wish to book me theres a contract. I don't try to pressure book a client.
I photograph documentary style but also take the couple for a set of photos in and around the venue. It gives the couple time to reflect on the day and me a chance to capture some stunning photos that would look great on your wall.
With years of experience Ive photographed some unusual things !
From a bridesmaid giving birth at a wedding to a guest diving into a lake jetty to catch the bouquet.
Don't let a rainy day dampen your wedding. I always carry several white umbrellas to help you along. Be brave and if you expect rain make it memorable by customising your own umbrella and even wellingtons . Some of my favourite photos have been taken in the rain .
While traveling abroad with my previous job I loved to capture memories. Once digital cameras became available my photography developed and I found I had a passion to capture landscape, portraiture and nature . With covering all aspects of photography it gave me a great base to get into wedding photography.
