Preserve Your Happiest moments for future generations
Embrace the Unscripted Beauty of Your Story with Documentary Wedding Photography
In the heart of every glance, giggle, and tender touch, there’s a story waiting to be told. Documentary wedding photography isn’t just about capturing moments; it’s about preserving the raw, unfiltered essence of your special day. Say goodbye to posed photographs and hello to genuine laughter, tears of joy, and love in its purest form.
With a keen eye for detail and a knack for capturing the unexpected, documentary wedding photography ensures that the spontaneity of your day is preserved forever. From the nervous anticipation of the morning preparations to the wild abandon of the dance floor, capture it all, without intrusion, allowing you to relive your day, just as it happened.
Seeing your story as it unfolds
One this I hear from all my clients after the wedding is ‘I can’t believe how fast it went.’ Your wedding is a unique day, unique to you. I love to follow the story of the day, documenting it as it unfolds.
If it was possible to recreate a wedding as an exact replica several times and have different photographers document it the images would all be different, that is what makes your photographer choice key. We all see life from different angles and you should pick the images that touch your heart. Not your wallet when looking for your documentary wedding photographer.
From the loving glances to the grand moments, I love to preserve your day through the lens seeing moments that you would have missed. I have always been told I am a social chameleon, I can get down to the level of a terrible two-year-old or get a 90-year-old laughing just the same no matter what walk of life. I bring a calm, de-stressing, personality which enables me to get great, creative natural photographs.
Wedding Photography on the day
On your big day, I will arrive at a set time agreed beforehand, usually with the bride as the preparations are happening. I watch the events happening and the light falling around me and wait, like a great fisherman, for the big story moments to happen. They inevitably do and my experience tells me where to be and when, this is the art of a documentary wedding photographer.
Throughout the day I move around your wedding as a guest watching your wedding from the inside out, the unguarded moments happen because your guests feel as if I am one of them.
I use my greatest skill to get the best out of you on the day, my personality. You will feel at ease in front of the camera and I’ll coax out your true personality.
Any formal groups and special requests will be undertaken with fun and with minimal interruption to the flow of your wedding day.
Remember the day in high-quality
While I upload the images, when I get home from your wedding day you’ll see a sneaky peek of the day as I can rarely resist posting one of my favourite images on Facebook. If you are Facebook sharers I will within a couple of weeks provide a selection of images on my Facebook page for you and your guests to share in keeping with the social revolution and keeping your wedding alive in everyone’s hearts.
Following this, the full selection of images is carefully edited using professional software and my unique creativity to enhance and bring out the best of your day (no they don’t come out of the camera finished). You will receive the high-resolution images on USB, or via download for foreign couples, and you will be able to love them for years to come, remembering moments like they happened yesterday.
For the more discerning couple, I provide beautiful fine art wedding albums which make your photographs sing. Nothing beats a truly professional album, I’m happy to show examples of my documentary wedding photography in print.
