How I capture your day is best described as documentary with an eye for portraits.
That means I'm paying attention to the surroundings, the lighting, people's interactions etc… everything that combines to tell the story of your day.

I always enjoy spending time on couples portraits and where I can I’ll look to involve the landscape and the outdoors to create something truly timeless and unique to you.

It's my preference to capture your day organically as it unfolds in front of me. I will never ask you to re-do or fake something just for a picture. I want you to look back at a gallery full of authentic moments that stir up a real memories. Of course there are times when I will direct or prompt when needed, and equally I’m happy be asked to take specific shots, but please rest assured my goal is always to capture real memories in an artistic a way as possible.

I describe my editing style as atmospheric, which is often interpreted as ‘moody’. While this is definitely the case as an overall tone for your gallery, in truth there's a wide range of different lighting scenarios throughout a wedding day. Some parts of your day will be bright and full of light, others will include deeper tones and shadows, it’s all down to the setting really. Ultimately when I'm editing I'm looking to ensure the colours are beautiful, skin tones are natural and the atmosphere in that moment is preserved for you to relive.

As standard I will edit all of your images to my signature style, which includes my unique colour treatment, exposure and lighting choices, cropping and straightening, and obvious blemish/object removal.

While I make every effort to capture as much of your day as possible, I am only human and sadly can’t been in two places at once, ultimately I can only capture what I see in front of me. When I work with a second shooter I can essentially be in two places at once.

How a second shooter adds value to your day:

• Morning Prep - Ensures that both mornings are properly covered and allows for more quality time with each of you and your parties.

• Guest Coverage - Helps capture candid moments of all your guests, and little things you’ve planned into the day.

• Second Angle - From a story telling perspective it is great to be able to capture the big moments on the day from two angles.

• Details - Weddings are so detailed now, in the venue you have chosen, the floral arrangements, the favours, the many decor elements you have added, capturing all these little details is time consuming and a second shooter helps make sure we don’t miss anything.

• Image count - If you’re picture mad having a second shooter can increase the number of images you’ll receive by 200-400 images.

In general a second shooter helps the photography of your day run a little smoother. I only work with trusted photographer friends who I know I work with seamlessly. I will integrate their images alongside mine edited in the same style to ensure everything flows and remains consistent.

A second shooter is mandatory for a wedding with more than 60 guests in attendance.

A second shooter is a fixed fee of £600 to cover their hours on the day and the additional editing.

I am able to offer an extended bespoke editing service. I have extensive retouching experience and when requested I can use utilise this. While I will edit all images with the goal of removing obvious blemishes and ensuring the couple look great, standard editing does not go as far as to include background / foreground object removal, hair line correction/fixing fly-aways, use of AI, replacing the sky or altering dresses / body / features etc... please discuss with me if you feel you would like be looking for additional editing services.
