Documentary Wedding Photography

Natural, emotive storytelling wedding photos for fun-loving, laid-back couples

Your wedding day is one of the most amazing days of your life, as well as the most expensive so you want to make sure you really love the resulting photographs! Trusting a photographer to tell the story, capture the the big & small moments as well as all the details of your wedding day, and produce photos you truly love, means you need to find the right person. Read on to see if you think that could be me. 

My approach…

My approach is friendly and relaxed with next to no posing unless you want group shots and some posed portraits. I capture your day quietly in a documentary style –  simply watching & capturing what happens. Your day is all about YOU and not about me getting fashionable shots or creating scenes that aren’t your style!

Photographs stop time, they take you back to that moment and make you smile or laugh or even cry. If you want real, fun, honestly captured yet beautiful photos of your wedding day, I am the photographer for you. If you’re not a fan of a camera, don’t worry, we’ll chat about that gently and we even have a short pre-wedding shoot so you get to feel comfortable with me. I promise you’ll forget I’m there but I will capture all the things that make your heart flutter with love and joy.

How does it work?

First things first, before you go ahead and fill in the enquiry form you need to view the rest of this website and my social pages on Instagram and Facebook so see if you like me style and if you think you can connect with me as a person. There’s loads of info on this website but in short I’m quiet, calm, sensitive, nurturing, down to earth and love love love rustic and outdoor venues! I’m in an element in a field, on a moor or up a mountain! 

Does that help? Are you ready for the process?

  1. Fill in the enquiry form below and if I’m available for your date we’ll arrange to either meet up or chat via video (Teams, Zoom etc).
  2. If the chat goes well, we like each other and I’ll be a good fit for your wedding then I’ll send you a deposit invoice & contract to sign. 
  3. You can keep me informed of plans for the wedding day, any additions or changes should be relayed to me so I’m not left dazed & confused on the day! The package balance is due before the wedding unless you’ve arranged a payment plan.  
  4. You have the best day ever and I capture it all!
  5. I go home & sleep then enjoy multiple days editing before uploading your photos to a private gallery and sending you the link. This can take 1-4 weeks depending on my workload. 
  6. You download your photos, guests can login and order prints if they wish. You also ‘favourite’ some photos for me to print & mount depending on your package. 
  7. Any remaining balance needs settling then I can order prints & products according to your package and any additional orders. 
  8. Once balances are settled and print/product orders delivered to you, we are finished! And I’ll really appreciate a Google review!
