I am fortunate enough to have photographed hundreds of weddings over the last few years, however I can not honestly say that one wedding stands out as being most memorable. Surprisingly though, I am sure I can remember some details about each wedding I have photographed.
Friendly, Professional, Respectful, Calm, Perceptive
Aim to meet your wedding photographer before booking him/her.
I hate the word "should" as it suggests a degree of unhelpful expectation and who needs that any time but especially on a wedding day. Rather than formulating a prescriptive list of shots, I encourage couples to share the feeling and mood they would like their photographs to convey. Sometimes this may also involve specific people and/or events on the wedding day.
The most original photos I have been asked to take happen when couples cut through the wedding photography cliches, be themselves, avoid too much posing, immerse themselves in the moment and allow me to capture the authentic story of their special day.
Stay calm and carry on.
