A Final Thought - Why Use A Professional, Documentary Photographer For Your Wedding?

I shoot weddings in a documentary style, that is, with the
subject being totally unaware they are being photographed.
So simply put yet is in fact a very difficult thing to do, and
takes many years of practice. My images have strong composition,
correct exposure and can focus precisely so as to isolate the
subject from his or her background. I see many guests at weddings
with often up to the minute cameras and the latest zoom lenses,
but when reviewing the images they have but a sequence of
miss timed shots, poor composition and a reliance on automatic
exposure, which can only lead to disappointing images.
A guest with a camera is not a photographer, just a guest with
a camera.

As a professional wedding photographer who has had years of
experience of shooting weddings, I have the ability to know
exactly where to stand when and to catch the fleeting expression
coupled with an in-depth knowledge of my camera’s functions
and these skills should not be underestimated. To be always
ready with the correct camera and lens with no fumbling, to
‘know’ what is about to happen and be standing in the perfect
position to catch the moment. Organising formal photographs is
a dark art, it is vital to be friendly enough to keep the smiles
and laughter, but to have the ability to speed through a
seemingly endless list in twenty minutes, getting the important
shots for the mantelpiece.

Lastly, a photographer has to be able to take great photographs
all day long, not just snatch a lucky one or two, and with that in
mind please have a browse through my intentionally totally complete wedding section. It does highlight every wedding I have shot since
2006, so if that doesn't convince you, nothing will
