Documentary Wedding Photography For relaxed couples who don't pose
The day as it happens
People often imagine wedding photography as a series of interruptions. Being pulled aside, arranged into place, asked to do something one more time. I take a different approach. I follow the day as it unfolds, photograph what is already there, and give you the space to be fully present in it.
The moments that end up meaning the most are often the ones nobody planned. A sudden laugh. A quiet hug. Someone wiping away a tear when they think nobody can see. My job is simply to pay attention as the day unfolds and preserve those moments as they happen.

How I photograph your day
Wedding
Photography
A full wedding, recorded as it happens. The ceremony, the speeches, the quiet half-minute outside before the doors open. Nobody is posed. Nothing is staged for the camera.
Engagement
Photography
An hour or two before the wedding, somewhere that means something to you. Mostly it's a chance to get used to being photographed, so that on the day the camera is already familiar.
Family & Portrait
Photography
Children rarely hold still, and they shouldn't have to. I follow what's already happening, at home or outside, and photograph the version of your family you actually recognise.
