There are traditional photographers who will do lots of line up family groups and traditional posed shots.
There are photographers who will not take as many groups but spend a long time over posing you as a couple.
There are photographers who want to treat you as fashion models, posing you in positions which make you look moody and emotional and photograph every little detail of the wedding including blades of grass from where you got married to sugar cubes !
Any of the above are fine if that is what you are looking for. I'm certainly NOT having a go at other photographers i'm simply saying you have a choice between the above OR photographers like me who will photograph some family groups of your choice, some of the details of the wedding, real emotion not posed emotion some posed ones of yourself but mainly work on a long lens so i'm not in your face all day but above all i believe that you should enjoy your day, not spend all day posing and leave me to capture real moments from your special day whether that be happy or emotional, basically telling a real story of your day.
So here's how I typically work :
Preparation pictures can be great fun and also an opportunity to capture some of the bridal details.
I'll also set the scene...
Then it's off to see the boys...
arrival of the bride and bridal party..
Capturing moments through the ceromony
Real happiness, not posed...
Nothing too posed....
A few posed ones ...
Natural pics of the little ones and guests...
Years of coping with bad weather ! and low light...
Reception details, speeches and first dance....
If you like what you see and would like your wedding photographed in an unobtrusive way please get in touch.
