Wedding day storytelling
Using the real colour, happiness, character, emotion and humour of your day I’ll make you a long picture story to enjoy forever.
Having invested heaps of energy, thought and care, you’ll be so busy getting married and having fun you won’t see most of what goes. Having a documentary photographer with a photojournalist’s eye along for the ride might be just the thing. Weddings aren’t my main thing but I love them and have had the privilege to make the pictures for dozens of happy couples. I let things happen, and just watch, move, and silently click, making pictures you’ll treasure. I’ll guide you through relaxed natural portraits and group pictures, but for the rest I’ll find your pictures without any fuss and not interrupting the flow of the day.
I’ve had the pleasure of making pictures for a wide variety of couples from all different backgrounds, who’d planned all sorts of days, and partied in places ranging from country houses and social clubs, to barns, wooded glades, museums, country pubs and hotels. Whoever your marrying, whatever you have planned, and wherever you’re doing it, I’d love to be with you, supporting and celebrating your day by making your pictures sing. If you think we could be a good match I’d love to work for you.
I’m a laid back sort of picture maker. Photojournalism taught me to become part of what’s going on, to watch and adapt, moving and mingling, making pictures as I go. I’m very ‘hands-off’ and try hard not to interfere with what’s naturally happening. I think it’s real life, real light and real colours that make pictures memorable. When they see me working, people seem to understand they don’t have to freeze and grin when I’m around and can just be themselves. And that’s how I’d hope you’ll want your family and friends remembered. It’ll be a long lovely adventure of a day, and there’ll be so much time to find and make pictures. It’s all about capturing, and charmingly presenting and preserving the real and the wonderful for you.
For me to be with you for the whole day my prices start at £1350. And yes, I also make wedding books and prints of all sorts. If you’d like to know more, do use the contact form, or just ring or message. Depending on where you are, we can meet in person or on a video call for you to learn enough to work out whether you’d like me with you. I’d love to hear from you.
