I have never sold myself as a wedding photographer, but from time to time I do get asked if I can photograph someone’s wedding and 9 times out of 10, I always say yes.
The one thing that I always say is that I’m not a professional wedding photographer, but I will shoot it in my style.
And the question then is, what is your style?
For me, and this is just my own opinion I think photographing a wedding should be about telling the story of your day. From the Bridal preparation to the late-night dancing.
I always try and blend in and act as a guest and the perfect camera for that is my Fujifilm X100F my other camera of choice is the Xpro2 with the 35mm 1.4. I like to keep it simple.
The one thing I’m not a big fan of is spending hours doing group shot after group shot zzzzzz.
I like to look for the emotion of the day and let’s not forgot the little moments of magic that are gone in the blink of an eye.
My shooting style is not for everyone, but I see it as it is, and that is honest, candid photography.
Street Photography has taught me a lot over the years but the one thing I always do is go in there with a blank canvas and see what I come back with. There is no point in thinking I might get this or that because the eye will not see the real story.
Head over to my wedding portfolio and see if my style suits your style and if it does, then feel free to get in touch.
Keep the Faith
