About

 

I’m an easy-going creative person at heart and prefer to watch and document rather than be intrusive and demanding on your wedding day. I will give you a little direction when on our couples time but prefer to go unnoticed the remainder of the day, capturing and documenting the day for what it was, yours!

What’s my style? Reportage, documentary, fashion? Why label it. I shoot the day how I see it and in a way that feels both honest, natural and true. I’d rather you be you, gimmicks and crazy poses aren’t really my thing. I will capture a few family formals but prefer to keep these to a maximum of 10, your day should be about so much more than a few lineups.

99% of the day is a case of me simply being present watching and documenting it as it unfolds whilst always looking for creative angles and intimate moments. Creating a collection of images that will make you relive one of the best days of your lives for years to come.

what does a typical days photography look like

 
 
  • I usually start 2-3hrs pre ceremony documenting all the natural moments whilst you’re getting ready and a few simple details along the way. I’m very hands off and prefer to just capture as unobtrusively as possble.

  • This is it, this moment is all about you. I tend to limit my movements and clicks at this point as I would hate to stand out or be in the way. I will creatively capture all the key moments be it a religious, civil or celebrant style service.

  • After a quick confetti throw the party begins. There is nothing worse than being immediately whisked off for photos this is your wedding day not a photoshoot which is why I like to leave you both alone for 30-40mins to just soak up all those post ceremony hugs, love and joy with your family and friends. Grab a drink and some canapés as you’ve been waiting for this moment for years. I’ll start capturing all those natural fleeting moments as everyone congratulates you.

  • Ah the dreaded lineups, I understand some formal shots are always needed but I prefer to keep this list to a small select collection of 5-10 images. Just focus on immediate family members and your bridal party. This will mean we can get through this list speedily giving you more time to just be a part of your drinks reception. If you have a big list in mind with multiple groups I’m probably not the right photographer for you.

  • This is such an important time for you on your wedding day and a big part of what I aim to capture. That being said this doesn’t have to take a long time. I simply ask that we do this twice in the day ranging from 10-20mins max each time. Around 20 minutes before you head into your wedding breakfast and a second time during golden hour to get those dreamy romantic frames.

    There isn’t a whole lot of guidance and posing as I prefer to keep this feeling as natural as possible. It’s more of a walk around the venue together guided by the light at the time and stopping off at a few locations where you can talk, hug, kiss and just spend some quality time together. It couldn’t be simpler and is a lot less daunting than most couples think.

  • After you’ve eaten and gone through your speeches we’re on the dancing and evening party. Depending on the time you’ve booked I will be with you until your first dance and a few songs after. I try not to flash the life out of the party and will use a mixture of controlled and natural light depending on the mood I want to convey.

    And that’s pretty much how a day looks, I’ll wrap it up with a big goodbye and leave you guys to party the rest of the night away.
