MY APPROACH

My wedding photography style is focused on capturing natural images, that tell a story and reflect your unique personalities and emotions between you. I believe that the most meaningful images are those that capture authentic moments, and I strive to capture the essence of your special day in a way that is both romantic and true to your unique story.

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and I want you to enjoy every moment of it. That’s why I only do a few wedding group portraits, allowing you to spend more time with your loved ones and enjoy your special day to the fullest. Instead, I focus on capturing candid, natural moments that will bring back memories of your wedding day events as they unfolded, for years to come.

As a wedding photographer, I believe that photography is not just about capturing an image, it’s about capturing a feeling.

Following words of Don McCullin perfectly encapsulate my philosophy when it comes to photography:

 “Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.”

One of my favourite parts of a wedding day is creating sunset portraits of my couple. The golden hour provides a beautiful and romantic backdrop for these images. I love capturing the love and connection between the two of you during this magical time of the day. These portraits are not only beautiful and romantic, but they also provide a moment of peace and reflection for the two of you amidst the hustle and bustle of the wedding day.

I will guide you through creating beautiful and natural moments together, providing helpful tips on how to showcase your genuine connection and bring out the best in each other. I specialise in creating a relaxed atmosphere where you can be yourselves and let your love shine, even if you’re not used to being in front of the camera. If you’re introverted and value personal space, rest assured, we’re on the same wavelength! Together, we’ll capture stunning photos that reflect your unique love story, respecting your comfort and creating genuine memories of your connection.

How does it work?

Step 1: Get in Touch

Contact me through my website’s contact form sharing your wedding plans, to express your interest in my photography style. I’ll promptly check my availability and respond to your message.

Step 2: Let’s Connect

We’ll have a chat via email and schedule a Zoom call. Alternatively we can meet for a coffee depending on distance, to get to know each other better. Once you sign the contract and submit a 25% booking fee (which is deducted from the total cost), your date will be reserved in my calendar.

Step 3: Optional Engagement Shoot

If you choose to include an engagement shoot, we’ll plan a date and location that reflects your style and personalities. This session will help you feel comfortable in front of the camera and allow us to build a connection.

Step 4: Finalise the Details

About 6 weeks before your wedding, I’ll send you a pre-wedding questionnaire to discuss the timeline, specific details and group shot preferences. You’ll also receive the final balance for payment.

Step 5: Your Wedding Day

Relax and enjoy your special day with loved ones. I’ll be there, capturing all the beautiful moments and subtle details that make your wedding unique.

Step 6: Hold onto the Memories

Within a week or 48 hours, depending on the package you’ve chosen, I’ll provide a selection of edited previews (‘sneak peeks’) for you to share with family and friends. The full gallery, carefully edited, will be delivered approximately 3 months after your wedding. This will allow you to relive the emotions and memories of your special day.
