Wedding Style

So, having just got back from a wedding - I was thinking about styles of weddings and what would suit you?

You see, I went out not so long ago and I got chatting to a lady who was dreaming of her own wedding, however, she wanted to wear her Doc Martins. She wasn’t sure about it, I said to her that each bride is different and in how she wants to convey herself and what is unique about her and her partner. Some brides like to wear a big white wedding dress, other brides like to wear satin wedding dress’s and I’ve seen others that wear 1950’s style wedding dress’s. I suppose this also shows up with the style of wedding that couples choose as there can be a laid back style of wedding in a converted barn or even a rustic barn, another wedding I’ve been to was in the middle of a field with a large marquee in the middle of it and a barbecue was sat outside with a hog roast, castles and a church with a venue inside.

The wedding day for this couple was entirely within the church itself. Click Here if you would like me to take your wedding photos

However, the same is for photography and there are so many different photographers out there who have their own unique eye. Some photographers like candid wedding photography, other photographers opt for journalistic wedding photography and others go for black and white wedding photography. There is no right or wrong, only as to how you would like your day recording as essentially that is what photography is all about, it’s about telling your story in pictures.

So my style is essentially recording the day as it unfolds and understanding you as a couple, having met you before and understanding what YOU want and that is the most important detail for me. My style is very natural and I like to show life in the photos I produce, so, whether it is someone laughing or a child eating the wedding cake, an emotional moment that may show the parents of the bride having seen the bride for the first time that is my preference, However, I am there for you and you may want a more formal approach which I am more than happy to record with my camera and if you would like me to turn all the photographs into black and white? That’s not a problem for me!

The evening reception was in the basement of a castle!

For me, styles show you as a couple and it is what makes you unique and shows what makes you happy. When all is said and done a wedding is purely about two sets of family and friends getting together to celebrate a couple in love and you will always see a smile on my face for you as I stand there with my camera.

So, irrespective of styles and you would like something different then get in contact with me and I’ll be more than happy to work with you both.
