Let me tell you about how I work...
I spend about 90% of the day watching, waiting and anticipating. I constantly watch (it's like legal stalking) and pounce on every meaningful moment that presents itself.
The remaining 10% of the time, I will carefully direct you to get the best out of the moment. I will always place you in the best light. Given the opportunity, it's light over background every time.
This combination will give you the very best images from your day.
Now then, this is the best bit. You get to wander around your awesome wedding venue, and I get to hide in bushes to create those really fancy bokeh images. If you've got no idea what I'm talking about, or you're a bit worried about this bit, don't worry, I've got you. All it takes is just 10 minutes or so during your drinks reception where I'll loosely direct you to walk, hold hands and chat to each other. That's easy enough isn't it?
Remember, this isn't a photo shoot. You won't be expected to be anything other than yourselves. Your couple photos will be nice, relaxed, natural portraits.
PORTRAITS
........ahhh the group shots. If you're wanting a whole list of 32 group shots (believe me, I've had that email) then scroll on by cos I'm not the photographer for you. If however, you only want the groups with grand parents, parents, siblings and the wedding party, then stick around. We'll do these straight away after the ceremony so no one has the chance to disappear or get too drunk.
Even these are done in a relaxed way. I don't give advice on how to stand or where to put your hands. If you want your hands in your pockets then go ahead! It's fine by me.
I appreciate that this approach isn't for everyone. But, honestly, my time is better served by letting me do what I do best.
