MY APPROACH
To Telling Your Love Story
Every wedding is unique. My aim is to capture and celebrate this uniqueness creatively and without intrusion. I photograph your day in a documentary style, as I feel that capturing real moments make beautiful photographs that show the true story of your wedding day.
To me, wedding photography is about telling the story of your wedding day. Stories aren’t made from staring at the camera and pulling out a forced smile (you know, the one you’ve had since that first school photo at primary school). Weddings are made of real moments and real emotion and my job is to capture these, discreetly and without fuss.
Every photograph should tell the story of one small moment. It is these moments that come together to form the full story of your wedding. In the whirlwind of your wedding day, you may miss some of these moments, but when you see the photos for the first time all of the emotion will come flooding back. The look of pride, the belly laugh, the tightness of the hug, they all matter and they are the details that make your story special.
My Approach To Editing
Classic & Timeless
When it comes to editing, I consider my style to be classic. I don’t use any filters or “looks” on my photographs as I believe these (much like the shell suit) will only age badly. I also know some photographers edit their photos to look like film. I am not one of them. I truly believe that if you want the look of film photographs, you should photograph on film. Film wedding photography is a service I do offer, which you can find out more about here.
Every photo you will receive is individually edited to make sure you get the very best from each image of your wedding day. This process takes time, meaning you will have to wait a little while for your photos, but it is truly worth it.
I believe that beautifully edited colour and black and white photography will always be in style (even if your wedding hair won’t).
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF
I AM THE RIGHT PHOTOGRAPHER FOR YOU?
You need an amazing wedding photographer to capture your wedding. Your love, your wedding rings and your photographs are the lifelong keepsakes of your special day.
How do you know I am right for you? Just follow these four simple steps below.
01
Do You Like MY Work?
Spend some time exploring my portfolio and checking out the blog. I consider my style to be different to a lot of “traditional wedding photographers” and aim to capture the story of your wedding day naturally and unobtrusively.
Apart from any required formal portraits, I do not direct, I prefer to capture natural emotion and the real story of your wedding day.
03
Meet For Coffee
I am located between the city of Lincoln & the Lincolnshire coast and would love to chat about your day in person over a coffee . It’s a great way for you to get to know each other and see if I am the right person to photograph your wedding. Remember, you will spend more time with your wedding photographer on your wedding day than almost everyone else.
If you live outside of Lincolnshire or have a hectic schedule, I am happy to chat about your wedding day over FaceTime, Skype, or if you’re old school on the telephone.
02
Tell Me About Your Day
I’m glad that you like my work. Now tell me all about you. Send me a message and tell me all the details about your awesome wedding.
I’ll respond as quickly as I can to let you know if I am available for your date. I will also send you a link to a full wedding. This lets you see my style of documentary wedding photography over a whole wedding day.
04
Decide to Work With Me
Great! I promise you won’t regret it. All you need to do is let me know you want me as your wedding photographer and I will send you all the paperwork.
Unfortunately, I can’t hold dates until I receive a signed contract and a 25% deposit. Once I receive those two things, finding a wedding photographer can be ticked off your to-do list!
See, it probably wasn’t as scary as you thought.
If you still have any questions, get in touch and I will be happy to help in any way I can.
I love telling wedding stories and do limit the amount of weddings I photograph each year to 20. By doing this way, every wedding I photograph gets personalised attention to make sure the story of your wedding is special.
