A full story of your wedding day from start to finish with no awkward posing, interruption or feeling like you’re in the middle of a photoshoot.

I’m married, when we got married we had a photographer who promised they wouldn’t intrude, we wouldn’t be asked to pose for anything and we wouldn’t even know there was a photographer at our wedding, a ‘full documentary approach’ we were told. Fast forward to our wedding day and we had clearly been sold something completely different, in hindsight we would have known what to look out for when choosing our photographer. Things like, how many posed pictures were on their website compared to candid pictures. How engaged in the moment were the people in the pictures (rather than doing that stupid mouth open looking at the camera thing), and other things like asking “How big is your camera & lens”, and “Do you use flash all the time” without trying to sound like a weirdo (believe me you will be fully aware of someone with a big lens pointing at you and flashes going off during your day).

Our wedding pictures are a pale representation of who we are as people, a stiff and stilted showcase of our day. We were posed, we were asked to do things again but try and pretend the photographer wasn’t there, we were taken for a quick walk ‘to get away from the noise’ (aka so the photographer could take pictures) that lasted an hour. In the end around 5% of our pictures were actually candid, and they were badly timed, we had pictures of knives and forks, table settings, cards, architecture (for Christ’s sake!) and a load of staged pictures - we’d fallen for a good sales technique, we’d booked a salesman not a photographer.

So that’s why I photograph weddings the way I do - I’ve been at the shitty end of a ‘documentary wedding’ photographer’s stick and it’s not a great place to be. Nothing on my website is set up, staged or contrived - everything you see is ‘as it happens’, there’s no interruption, guidance or staging here I can promise you that !

If the thought of having your picture taken fills you with dread, if you want an uninterrupted day that doesn’t have to give photographs a second thought, if you want to be able to relax and fully immerse yourselves in your wedding, that’s what I’m offering you - a beautiful relaxed story of your wedding, one that shows just how much fun, laughter and love you shared with each other and those closest to you.
