LONDON DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Documentary wedding photography: nostalgic and nuanced storytelling

You want documentary wedding photography that’s bold and vibrant, infused with warmth and humour.

You care about moments but you want them framed with artistry, like a Martin Parr without the aloofness and champagne.

You want a handful of portraits that are gently guided, always relaxed, and authentically you.

I document playful moments, soulful connections and all the quirky stuff that happens when people gather on your joyful day

MY APPROACH

– With sensitivity, I’ll mingle and chat – enough for your guests to be comfortable with having their photo taken by a stranger

– I’m a calm and reassuring without being the centre of attention. I do group shots and portraits with pleasure.

-I’m an expert at observational photography: I listen for whispers of moments and frame them into harmonious photographs full of warmth, wit and sometimes – wonder.
