You've spent a lot of time planning your wedding and it comes around fast. The day itself goes quickly too and it's important to make sure you enjoy it! This may sound ridiculously obvious but as someone who attends weddings prolifically I can confirm that wedding days can be stressful for the people tying the knot.
Careful planning is important but hiring professionals you trust is an absolute must. With four years experience I consider myself pretty well versed on wedding day logistics and huge part of my process is observation. I'm always anticipating what's about to happen, with my trusty Canons by my side (quite literally) I capture your day unfold naturally, carefully documenting the obviously significant elements of your day and those fleeting moments in-between.

Documentary style wedding photography is a fantastic way to really capture the essence of your day, however sometimes I find it beneficial to both me and my clients to give a little guidance, group shots are one of those moments. My aim is to be as organised as possible so you can get back to enjoying your drinks reception, this obviously isn't something I can do discretely. Give me a list and your loudest friend and we'll round everyone up for those all important group shots.

The art of making something staged look natural. This is key for me and part of what makes couples photos so exciting. I love to get creative with my clients and encourage them to take time out for some "safe shots" after group photos where we'll spend roughly 20 minutes capturing some more traditional wedding photos. There's method in this because it's likely at this point you won't want to be running through fields, spinning each other around or ruining your makeup so I save that for later on. I also want you to ENJOY your canapés!
Golden hour is the perfect time to escape for a breather after a busy day of mingling. This is when I tend to lean towards more adventurous couples photos. The light is perfect and usually you're feeling a little more relaxed about your makeup, suits / dresses and happy to let go a bit.
My couples portraits are always client led, this doesn't mean I wait for you to tell me what you'd like to do but I gauge this carefully on how you connect as a couple and what you enjoy which is why getting to know you on the run up to your wedding is so important to me.
