Hopefully by now you’ve checked out some of my work, read the “Who I Am” section and decided that there’s perhaps a small chance I could stand to let this guy hang out for the day. Awesome, well let’s just keep going then and I guess we’ll soon find out.
WILL YOUR STYLE OF PHOTOGRAPHY TRANSLATE TO OUR TYPE OF WEDDING?
Sure will! I really don’t have a particular “look” of wedding that I like to shoot year round and generally I tend to photograph a huge variation of venues and locations.
I’ve shot brides canoeing into their ceremonies, barn weddings, beach weddings, church & cathedral weddings, Orkney weddings, boho byre weddings, loch side weddings, theatre weddings, English countryside weddings, forest weddings, hotel weddings, Spanish weddings, town hall weddings, candle lit cave weddings, tipi weddings, stupidly hot Dubai weddings, brewery weddings, castle weddings, marquee weddings, sleek city weddings, garden weddings and farm weddings. Phew.
Yeah, I’ve shot a crazy amount of different situations and in a crazy amount of different environments but that’s part of the fun right? No wedding is or should be the same and that’s a good thing guys.
Your wedding should be ‘YOU’ and ‘YOU’ alone so don’t let anyone tell you any different!
I will say that the one thing all my weddings do seem to have in common are the types of people that want me to shoot for them.
No Bridezillas, Groomzillas, Divas or Screaming Harpies … Nope. Just chilled couples that want to take it easy, have an absolute blast and roll with their own beautiful day. I’m down with that!
I also don’t use any intrusive flash that makes your intimate and beautifully lit venue look like it’s located on the surface of the sun, or hit you in the face with such a bright and blinding light that it melts your eyes out just before your first kiss.
Hehe, no thanks. Natural light for the win here guys.
You’ve picked your venue really carefully because the look and feel of it is exactly what you’re both wanting, so it’s my job to make sure that the photography does your wedding justice and through the imagery that the vibe of it holds true.
No shitty flash photography. Just beautifully soft ambient light.
THE PORTRAITS !!!
(lightning strikes) ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Right, I thought I’d put up a little section here about the dreaded “portrait”/couple session as the thought of it usually terrifies most people.
I’m sure if you’re now perched on the edge of your seat then there’s a good chance that you’re one of them so do yourself a favour and just sit back, unclench and I promise we’ll get you feeling good about it … Your spine crawled right?
Hehe first off, it’s cool guys. Pretty much every single couple that come to me aren’t comfortable in front of the camera and to be honest it makes complete sense!
“We are SO bad when someone wants to take our picture.”
“He has his eyes closed in 99% of our photographs.”
“You know that episode of Friends where Chandler can’t smile?”
Yip, I totally get it.
The prospect of having your photograph taken can be pretty rough. You don’t know what the hell you’re doing or what you’re expected to do and the thought of having some dude shove a camera in your face can be a pretty intimidating one (I won’t do this).
Well the good news is you’re not going to have to know what the hell you’re doing to get incredible shots. You’re not expected to and it’s entirely my job to make you guys look and feel comfortable. I’m there to help and guide you both along whilst we shoot, keeping everything fun, easy and moving. No stress, no pressure and definitely no horrendous, forced “posing”.
I’ll have already scoped out the grounds days before for the softest and most beautiful pockets of light so once we place you in them … BOOM “Stand aside God!”
It also just guarantees that you guys will look and feel your absolute best as your own true and authentic selves.

I photograph normal couples that genuinely love being around each other so if you aint just pretending to like your other half then it’s a home run. Just relax, trust me and the shots will look effortless. :)
