The way I like to work it . . .
My kind of weddings are the ones that don’t take themselves to seriously. The kind with lots of laughter & personal touches. I always bring the energy & passion to every wedding I have the pleasure to photograph - which means I only shoot a limited number of weddings per year. My diary mostly becomes fully booked with recommendations from past couples, guests I've met at weddings & wedding venues. Which is always a wonderful compliment!
On your day - I won't spend much time taking you away from your party for your photographs. Maybe around 15 to 20 mins during the drinks reception and then another 10 mins after dinner. This is the point of your day that I like to work quickly. Your drinks reception will go by in a flash – there is normally around 1 to 2 hours before you are heading into your wedding breakfast. As well as capturing your portraits & family formals, I also want you to enjoy a drink or two, a few canapes and have some time to relax and experience your party! When we do head off for your portraits it will be the first time in the last 24 hours that you guys - are ALONE! You'll be high on life - in your wedding haze bubble, looking a million dollars, so won't really notice that I'm running beside you snapping away. I probably ask you to do some walking while your chatting. Then no doubt I say something which will get is all laughing - this is how I capture those natural moments.
Later in the day, after the meal & speeches, we can sneak away again for 5 to 10 minutes to capture a few more snaps. At this point in the day you will both feel more at ease - all the formalities are done and its a nice time for you to enjoy a few relaxing moments together, before the evening party gets started. I personally LOVE this time of the day, the light will be much softer, which is actually super flattering too - we may even be lucky enough to get a gorgeous sunset ?
