For those people who don’t like having their picture taken. Unposed and as it happens. Enjoy your day and leave the photos to us.

FAQS

What is a natural, documentary-style photographer?

We don’t insist on posed shots or interfere with your plans. Instead, we record the day as it unfolds, letting the day happen around us without engineering events or getting in the way of people enjoying themselves. The result is a selection of images that captures the heart of your wedding. As well as capturing the iconic moments throughout the day, we make sure the smaller moments in between aren’t forgotten. The laughter, the tears, the excitement, and all the details that make your wedding unique to you.

But what if I don't like having my picture taken?!

We were one of these couples! The biggest thing we learnt was to pick a photographer who is as subtle and as relaxed as possible and who is sympathetic towards your discomfort in front of the camera. Our approach is to view the day almost from the viewpoint of a guest – take it all in and capture all the wonderful moments, but without getting up in people’s faces too much. We also learnt that actually, on the day, being anxious about the camera is far from your mind – you’re far too busy having fun and chatting to all your friends and family to be concerned about having your picture taken. Neither of us can even remember our photographer being at our ceremony as we were so in the moment, but there are tonnes of great pictures that prove otherwise! For our couple portraits, we try to make them as natural as possible – usually getting the couple to go for a walk or say something silly to each other is enough to capture something really intimate and personal of the couple alone on their day.

Do you travel?

We are based in London and Hertfordshire but more than happy to travel wherever you are getting married – even if that's abroad!

But what about the planet?!

For just over a year we've joined Ecologi in planting trees to offset twice as much carbon as our business generates, making us better than carbon-neutral! Even better, when you book with us, we will plant 100 more trees with your names on them – you can even view them in the virtual forest :)

Testimonials

I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent looking at the photos over and over again. They’re so beautiful. I don’t know how you managed it – probably those genius powers of yours – but even the pictures of my parents’ tiny study (that small, messy space) looked gorgeous. We are so impressed by your sharp eye for perspective, sentiment, detail and movement.
