What I Do
I am a wedding photojournalist.
What does this mean? Well it simply means that I tell the story of your whole day through my images, with no posing, prompting or intervention. My aim is to capture all the personality and emotion of your wedding or civil partnership in a series of natural and candid photographs.
I won’t tell you where to stand, ask you to say ‘cheeeese’, or boss you around. I just want you and your guests to enjoy yourselves without me distracting you from the fun of your big day.
On the day
I arrive a couple of hours before the ceremony to capture the preparations and build-up, then onto the ceremony venue where the guests are arriving and mingling. With the permission of the officiant or registrar I shoot discreetly throughout your ceremony, and afterwards as you greet all of your friends and family.
I take a short break while your guests eat, during which I catch my breath, back-up all the images and grab something to eat myself. Then it’s on to the speeches and your first dance, followed by the evening party. I stay long enough to capture a few shots of your guests throwing some shapes and then I disappear into the night.
What happens next?
By the time you have returned from honeymoon I will have edited out the images that didn’t work out, people blinking, etc. and performed all the colour corrections and black and white conversions leaving you with a final set of at least 200 images. You’ll find a DVD slideshow waiting for you to watch, and an online gallery to send to your family and friends.
If you’ve ordered the high-resolution files of your images, these will be delivered with your slideshow. If you’ve opted for an album, this will be with you 6-8 weeks after your wedding.
