I've taken pictures at many different types of wedding but I cannot lie, my own wedding was pretty amazing. I worked with a photographer friend who provided all the images for me to create my own albums with.
Clean, Simple, Authentic, Romantic and true to life
Every couple I have worked with has complimented the end results. I achieve this by working closely with you in the pre-wedding stage to ensure you are at ease and everything goes smoothly on the big day.
It is your day so make the most of it. For some that will mean longer time with the photographer for some freestyle shots, for others it will be to plan things in great detail. Do what works for you.
Personalized letters exchanged between the bride and groom.
I focus on capturing the moments that arise naturally during one of the happiest days of your life.
I like to follow the flow of the day while ensuring I cover all the shots from our agreed list as well as all the standard shots you'd expect to see.
Top of the isle kiss or dip kiss if you are feeling brave.
I like to get pretty creative as long as you're happy to try new things. Sometimes it's getting under the vail with the bride and groom, other times it's playing with the colours and light available. A personal favourite of mine is the bride and groom shot through their wedding ring.
Embrace it!
In photography we often want to avoid super bright sunny days as it creates harsh looking shadows. Without getting much more technical it is not an issue.
My advice would be if you as the couple brush it off as if its nothing, so will the guests.
I've been behind the camera since I was little. Taking pictures of my parents on their film cameras since the age of 5. That was a privilege, given how expensive film was back then for the limited number of shots you got. Since then I have not stopped and would like to think I've gotten a lot better together with the greatly improved technology.
