Shaun James Carr Photography Full Description
I'm Shaun - a UK based photographer living in Milton Keynes and working all across the country. My wedding work focuses on authenticity and real human relationships. As a wedding photographer I believe the best way to tell warm, nostalgic wedding stories that make you feel all fuzzy inside is to just let them happen. That’s how you get to the good stuff. It’s not complicated. You don’t need to be organising your guests into giant heart shapes, or spending bloody ages setting up light fixtures and standing around in fields. You just need to do your thing - and find someone that you trust to witness it, be part of it and capture it. If you: - Want natural, honest, pictures filled with human moments. - Don’t want your wedding to turn into a drawn out photo shoot. - Have an aversion to cheese and tacky reused shots. - Want to be left alone to just enjoy your wedding day with the minimum of fuss. - Are authentic and down to earth. Then get in touch!

His photos speak for themselves, he has a gift for exquisite photography.

Shaun was all we could have hoped for in a photographer and more. He was utterly professional but also a very calming presence on our wedding day. One of the things that impressed us most was that he openly shows a wide selection of photos from each of the weddings he photographs, whereas other photographers that we looked at seem to cherry pic only a couple of images from any given wedding. The quality of his work is consistently excellent. We wanted a documentary style photographer that would be able to capture the day as it happened rather than a series of forced or posed images and we are thrilled with the photographs that Shaun took on our wedding day. Shaun, thank you.

Tequila!

Shaun doesn’t take photographs. Shaun creates art. If you look more closely at his work, you can see past a bride and groom sharing a kiss, or families in conversation and take in the colour, the composition. I have a beautiful set of wedding art which captures so many honest moments of love and laughter. I couldn’t wish for more.

Absolutely Perfect!

“He captured our day with natural un-staged pictures, showing the real beauty of our wedding.” "Shaun was everything we wanted in a wedding photographer. You can see real personalities and genuine emotion in all the pictures he takes. I still see something new in his pictures when I look back through our wedding album, which always makes me smile. Plus he is a lovely guy! 100% recommend. You will have the most amazing wedding pictures with Shaun - which I guarantee won’t look like anybody else’s.”

Photos I will treasure forever

Shaun was a fantastic photographer for our wedding, from getting ready in the morning through to dancing the night away. Shaun is very good at capturing natural photographs of people without it feeling overly staged or intrusive. We now have a beautiful collection of photos both in colour and black and white, which will remind us of our amazing day for years to come. Highly recommended!

Couldn't be happier with our choice.

“Shaun was bloody amazing! He became part of the family! But at the same time we didn’t know he was there.” “I cannot express to you how happy we are with our wedding pictures from Shaun. They have given Alex and I memories upon memories of our special day. There is none of that bossy wedding photographer that thinks they own everything and every moment. This is not Shaun. We love him! If I had the money I would hire him to capture all of our great moments in life. But that might be weird!” Its been hard to choose some examples I would have happily uploaded every single photo .

Shaun’s photography is literally second to none

“When the family settled down to see all the photos, the first thing that struck us was “How did he get these?!” “We picked Shaun to be our wedding photographer because we adored how he captures all the little moments that make up the day and he did not disappoint! No one remembers him shoving his camera in their face or telling them where to stand but somehow he was there for all the best parts! The photo of my Grampy checking his tie in the mirror left me with a tear in my eye, somehow getting glamorous shots of me getting out of the car, capturing Max’s face before I walked down the aisle, then all the hilarious evening photos - let’s just say now I know how I look doing the Macarena! These are not the photos you get from standard wedding photographers who stand people in neat lines while everyone mills around a bit bored! When we look through our photos it’s like really reliving the magic of the day and feeling the emotions all over again! We really can’t thank him enough as we will treasure these photos forever.” Emma + Max

Not just a photographer

Shaun is a truly fantastic photographer. I remembered him from my brothers wedding years ago and sought him out to take my wedding photos. He is very relaxed and captures the authentic memories that are most important. He not only is a fab photographer I remember the morning of the wedding whilst getting ready I went outside for some quiet and he come and checked on me and made sure I was ok, that’s going above and beyond. Honestly if you want someone who takes real photos, the ones you look back and laugh at, really capture the genuine memories of your day - he is your guy! Thanks Shaun!

He felt like one of our guests.

He made us feel so at ease and he felt like one of our guests. Shaun captured so many moments I didn’t even realise were happening! We couldn’t recommend him more, our photos are just amazing and are the perfect reminder of our wedding day.”

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Impossible to answer. Every wedding is unique and every couple and family is different. My job is is to try and tap into what makes it special for YOU and give you a way to remember what that felt like forever.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Honest. Authentic. Real. Timeless. Documentary.

What about your business are you most proud of?

Cheesy as it sounds - wedding photography has given me purpose. I'm incredibly thankful for that. I'm proud that I'm creating something that makes people happy. Before photography came into my life I was just a consumer, you know? Now I feel like I'm doing something that matters.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Just do your own thing. Be yourself through and through and do what YOU want.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

To be perfectly honest with you I don't get too giddy about the fine details. But a sick wedding band and mad party is always memorable.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

You find me. We have a chat on the phone to make sure that we vibe with each other. I you decide to book me I get back in touch with you a couple of months before the wedding to go over things and make sure we're organised. Then on the day I just turn up and do my absolute best to get as many awesome photographs as possible. All you have to worry about is having a good time at your wedding. Then I'll get your prints in the post and a password to your gallery ready for you within 28 days.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

That's not a thing. Just be yourselves and enjoy your wedding. The rest will take care of itself. That said - I've found that people regret it if they don't get a few group shots done. So set a little time aside for those and some quick portraits.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

Sorry to keep dodging these questions but that just isn't how I work. Whatever happens at your wedding is what I'm going to photograph. Every single wedding is original, unique and personal to you. It isn't my vision of what a wedding should be - it's yours and it will happen naturally. Just do you. You are the original!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

'The sun's in my heart, And I'm ready for love, Let the stormy clouds chase, Everyone from the place, Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face, I walk down the lane, With a happy refrain, Just singin', Singin' in the rain.'

Describe how you got into photography.

The fortuitous product of a quarter-life-crisis.
