What Is Documentary Style Wedding Photography?

Storytelling Wedding Photography For Modern Couples

I specialise in 'candid wedding photography'. Lots of traditional photography is too stiff. It should be about capturing the real emotions of your day; all the smiles, all the tears - and all those dad dance moves!

‍But don't get me wrong, I also give you Pinterest-worthy portraits!

​

I don't believe in a 'one-size-fits-all' set list of images; your photographs should reflect your individuality, focusing on the natural moments & most importantly, having fun. For your portraits, I love capturing the in-between moments, when a pose falls apart.

​

I can work with you to plan any must-haves & then work the rest of the day capturing your natural smiles from a distance - you'll forget I'm even there! No really - my most common feedback is how discreet I am. You'll be able to look back at the photographs & feel the joy of real moments you might have missed on the day.

 FAQs

  • They are an important part of your day, especially for parents, so I always provide space for them on the day. It's the only time I'll allow cheesy smiles!

  • You will receive your sneak peek within 48 hours & I aim to deliver your full gallery within 8 weeks.

  • The most common feedback I get is my calm and sometimes 'almost invisible' approach to capturing your day, making couples feel at ease. There's no 90's cheese or Chandler smiles happening here. I focus on documenting the natural moments, aiming not to take the wedding party away for too long. Even the Bride and Groom can be 'un-posed', finding a nice spot to allow you to enjoy a much needed moment to yourselves. This style is often also called 'candid wedding photography' or 'relaxed wedding photography'. That's not to say we can't get a few Pinterest-worthy portraits for you too. I follow the couple's lead in terms of what they are comfortable with. My natural editing style is slightly warm and soft. You'll get some B&W ones included in your gallery too
