What can you expect from me?
I am there on your day to document everything that happens, from the formal bits to the not so formal bits. I think it is so important to have a record of everything on your day exactly how it happens, I want you to look back on your images and shout “YES! This is how I remember it!”
My style is incredibly natural and I am there to document everything in a very sneaky unobtrusive way. I have been likened to a ninja on more than one occasion. This doesn't mean you won't hear from me though, I know when to pipe up to get the groups done and I know how to organise a great confetti shot, even with your uncle who never listens. I have probably been to more weddings than you have therefore I know what's going on, I can help you if you're feeling anxious, I'll even tie bows on the back of dresses and get the button holes on correctly.
When it comes to those controversial group shots, it doesn't make any difference to me if you want them or not, it's your day so you do what you want! However, keep them to a minimum as no one wants to spend hours doing 10 different variations of one shot. If you have parents kids who simply will not behave, who cares! It's a story to tell at the end of the day, tickle them or leave them to have a strop, I always enjoy a group photo that is a true reflection of your family.
I want you to enjoy your day, enjoy your guests, food, drinks - everything! I will steal you away from it all at some point to get some lovely portraits of the two of you. This won't be for very long and at your pre-wedding consultation we can agree on a time so there are no surprises.
When we're off on our adventure it's always a really nice time for you two to have a breather away from all the hustle and bustle of your day. I'll give you little or no direction at all during these shots as to me natural is key, I think it's best to capture you exactly how your are together. I simply refuse to make you do things you feel uncomfortable doing!
