My experience, approach and wedding photography style

Since becoming a photographer I have photographed more than four hundred weddings at numerous venues throughout Essex and the UK. My wedding photography approach is relaxed, unobtrusive and friendly. Most people say they hate having their photo taken. However, I pride myself in putting people at ease no matter what the situation. I believe wedding photographers should capture the atmosphere and emotion of your wedding day, creating a story of everything that happens. With that in mind I normally photograph a mixture of natural un-posed photos, stylish portraits and creative wedding photographs. You may choose as much or as little of the style that suits you. From relaxed wedding photography in the Essex countryside to natural photos in the heart of London, you can find plenty of inspiration on my wedding photography blog.

Attention to detail

I have photographed at numerous Essex wedding venues and many more in the surrounding counties. No matter what the venue my aim is to capture the unique spirit of your wedding day. When it comes to capturing individual wedding images, I pay great attention to detail. Starting with the bridal preparations and all the little things that you have spent so much time and money on. The flowers, the jewellery, the makeup, and hair. Through to the wedding ceremony, formal groups, speeches, wedding cake and first dance. Classic wedding portraits, friend & family groups and candid shots of your family and guests enjoying the wedding. I photograph them all.

Professional Wedding Photographer

As a professional wedding photographer, I am acutely aware of the care that must be taken not to overwhelm couples with photography and lots of time away from their guests. As a result, I get great wedding photographs in a relatively short period, leaving you time to enjoy your wedding day with family and friends.

Finding the right wedding photographer for you

There are a bewildering number of wedding photographers to choose from, and cheap wedding photographers are easy to find. However, they come with a risk of being unreliable, unprofessional, uninsured, and without a backup procedure. So how do you go about choosing the right wedding photographer for you? Do you go for their style, price, quality or experience? Well of course, it is all of those things. As an experienced wedding and portrait photographer I know how things can easily get out of hand. Weddings can be very stressful if not managed in a calm and methodical manner. Your wedding day is not a photo shoot, it is meant to be a wonderful experience and something to remember. Therefore, please take the time to read my wedding testimonials. You will see that, the overwhelming theme is one of calm assuredness; something that I am very proud of.
