I am a photographer who makes images of weddings for couples who love photography, but don’t particularly like wedding photography!
I pose or direct nothing. I regard myself as a visual storyteller who documents your day, with your friends and family just being themselves. I actively seek out the quirky, comical even absurd moments that you always get with people just being who they are. If a couple wants it, I will take pictures of small groups and/or the couple. I do this quickly (maximum 20 minutes in total). Even this is done with the minimum of fuss and completely informally. You can then get back to where you want to be: with your friends & family, and I can get back to where I want to be: photographing them laughing & crying!
To my mind, genuine moments are so much more valuable than created ones. Therefore, I don’t make things happen, but simply photograph what does happen. This is genuine documentary photography, and I absolutely love doing it!
I love photographing the WHOLE of the day, and will typically be at your wedding for 13 or 14 hours.
