Rob Clayton Photography Full Description
I don’t believe in awkward posing of any kind, although I will offer a bit of direction on the very odd occasion if I think it will help make an even stronger image. Ultimately, its just you enjoying yourselves with all your friends and family that I want to capture, and I have no intention of ever getting in the way of that. I believe its really for a photographer's customers to define his/her style, but if pushed I guess I'd (somewhat immodestly) describe my style of photography as exciting, vibrant, creative and modern, with a strong sense for timing, emotion and composition. I love using dramatic lighting to help create impact in my pictures, and like to think I am known for a high contrast, punchy, dramatic style of imagery. I like the colours in my pictures to have the full richness of life without being too overpowering, and whilst I also love the timeless effect turning a picture into black-and-white can have, I’m not the kind of photographer who believes it suits every single picture. I like to think my use of light is a key feature of my work, using it to help shape and craft my images, and adding dimension and depth to the scenes I capture. I am always on the look-out for the best and/or most dramatic light possible (which I believe may not always be immediately obvious to others), and will readily go above and beyond to utilize it for the sake of a better photograph. In terms of my modus operandi, I very much like to fade into the background as much as humanly possible, and just capture events as they naturally unfold (where possible, with a rather big lens that allows me to stand far back, well out of the way!). I believe its the only way to capture the real, raw emotions we all experience, and if I am barely noticed at all, I consider that a good thing. The one time I do like to get in the thick of the action, however, is on the dancefloor, as I believe it’s the only real way to properly pick up on - and capture - the atmosphere.

Rob did the most fantastic job

Rob did the most fantastic job at our wedding and I would recommend him over and over. He was professional and pleasant to work with through out the whole process; from making the booking and arrangements for the big day to receiving the photographs and the wonderful albums and art work in the weeks following. He was so unobtrusive on the day and managed to take such beautiful photographs. His artistic flare and passion for photography also shone out through out the process. Thank you Rob!

Rob captured everything we wanted and more...

Robs pictures of our wedding are amazing - we couldn't have asked for anything better. He captured everything we wanted and more, and in a natural and artistic way. He is calm, friendly and positive - exactly the person you want to have around your wedding day, and most of the time you don't even realise he is there!

We couldn't recommend Rob highly enough

We couldn't recommend Rob highly enough as our wedding photographer. From the initial contact to the production of the wedding album, everything progressed smoothly and nothing was too much trouble. Rob spent the whole day with us, coming along with me (the groom) for early morning photos on our "Wedding Day Bike Club Ride" before heading off to get some snaps of the ladies getting ready at the venue. Rob stayed with us the whole day, getting some amazing photos of the guests and the venue until late in the evening. Yes, we had obligatory "formal" photos which are fantastic, but the ones we enjoyed the most are the impromptu ones of us and the guests enjoying themselves. All in all we couldn't have asked for more!

Your perfectionism and professionalism shone

Rob, just wanted to say a huge, huge 'thank you' for doing such an excellent job at the wedding. Your perfectionism and professionalism shone brightly…..the pictures are stunning and really capture the mood. And what can I say about the pictures of the Israeli dancing?! Thank you so much

Rob was great - it was an absolute pleasure to have him around on our big day. He managed to capture all the special moments and recreate in photos the fun atmosphere of our wedding. We were really pleased that we didn't have to do any awkward posing and could just be natural... Robs passion for photography really shone through and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thanks Rob - you've made a day last a lifetime through beautiful photos.

Rob did a fantastic job

Rob did a fantastic job at our wedding! He got over 800 photos and we had difficulty choosing some for an album as they were all so good!! Rob caught all the action on the day and he was great to work with. We now have an amazing album of photos to remind us of our big day. Thank you Rob

Could not recommend Rob highly enough

Rob is truly amazing. So easy to email/text and speak to in the lead up to our wedding. He is so easy going and we barely noticed his presence on our big day. He made us feel so relaxed which I think really shows in his pictures. We could not recommend Rob highly enough. So professional and most importantly incredible pictures which capture our day so beautifully! Thank you Rob, you’re awesome!

Friendly & professional to deal with & couldn’t ha

From start to finish Rob was exactly what we wanted from our wedding photographer - friendly & professional to deal with & couldn’t have done any more to co-ordinate our needs. After receiving our photographs, we are so pleased with them, we really feel like he really captured our day. Highly recommend!
