My Wedding Photography Style: Capturing Your Day Naturally and Beautifully

When people ask me about my style, I usually say it’s a blend of editorial and documentary photography. That means I focus on both the little details and the bigger story of your wedding day. Every wedding is unique, and my goal is always to highlight your personality, the connections with your loved ones, and the unforgettable moments that make your day special.

From the first nervous glance in the morning to the last dance at night, I want your photos to tell the full story — full of emotion, laughter, and genuine moments that reflect you as a couple. Here’s a closer look at what that means and how I work on your wedding day.

Natural Colours That Feel Timeless

One of my favourite things about wedding photography is seeing all the different colour palettes couples choose. Whether it’s soft pastels, bold jewel tones, or classic neutrals, the colours you select say a lot about your style and personality.

My approach is to capture colours as naturally as possible. That way, when you look back at your wedding photos in ten or twenty years, they still feel like your day, not an over-edited version of it. My style often leans toward fine art or natural colours, keeping everything soft, elegant, and timeless.

I love capturing the details that make your day yours — your flowers, stationery, table settings, and even the little touches that reflect your personalities. These subtle elements come together to create a story that feels authentic and complete.

Candid Photography, With a Touch of Direction

Most of your wedding day — about 90% — will be captured candidly. I adore photographing real, unplanned moments. Those spontaneous laughs, tears of joy, and even unexpected surprises are what make your wedding day so memorable. Those are the photos that truly tell your story.

That said, there are times when a little direction is helpful. For portraits and group shots, I’ll step in to suggest the best locations, find the perfect light, and offer simple guidance so you and your loved ones look your absolute best.

But this doesn’t mean stiff poses or forced smiles. I aim to keep it natural and relaxed while incorporating your ideas too. If there’s a particular pose, backdrop, or shot you’ve always dreamed of, I’ll work with you to bring it to life.

Getting Fun, Candid Shots Throughout the Day

I stay close to the action on your wedding day, because that’s where the magic happens. You’ve probably heard the saying, “If your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.” That’s basically my philosophy.

Whether it’s during cocktail hour, wedding games, or the dance floor, I move around to capture all the little details and spontaneous moments. I’ll try different angles, perspectives, and lighting to make sure no memory is missed. Those are the shots that make your wedding album feel alive — full of laughter, excitement, and emotion.

Highlighting Your Personality

Every wedding is unique, and I want your photos to reflect you as a couple. I take time to understand your personalities, your relationship, and what makes your day special.

Some couples love quiet, romantic moments, while others are full of energy and fun. Some want a mix of both. By observing, anticipating, and staying present, I can capture those authentic moments that truly tell your story.

It’s not just about posed photos — it’s about the connections, interactions, and feelings that make your wedding day unforgettable. Those small, candid gestures, like a laugh shared between you and your partner, or a proud glance from a parent, are often the moments that end up being your favourites.

Working With You and Your Guests

I aim to be both invisible and approachable. During the day, I stay close enough to catch the action but remain unobtrusive so everyone feels relaxed. Guests quickly forget I’m there, which allows me to capture genuine interactions rather than staged smiles.

At the same time, I make sure everyone feels comfortable. If someone is shy or unsure, I guide them gently so they feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. I want every guest to feel like part of the story, from the couple to your closest family and friends.

Telling Your Story From Start to Finish

My goal is to create a wedding gallery that tells your story from start to finish. That includes:

• Getting ready photos that capture anticipation and excitement

• Detail shots of your rings, flowers, décor, and personal touches

• Candid moments of laughter and joy throughout the day

• Couple portraits that are natural, romantic, and timeless

• Family and group photos that are relaxed and authentic

• Reception photos capturing the fun, dancing, and celebrations

By documenting every part of the day, your wedding album becomes more than just photos — it becomes a story you can relive forever.

Collaboration and Flexibility

I love working with couples who have ideas, inspiration, and dreams for their wedding photos. Whether you want romantic sunset portraits, playful candid moments, or editorial-style shots, I can adapt to your vision.

Planning and communication are key. We can chat about locations, timing, lighting, and any must-have shots you have in mind. My goal is to make your wedding photography experience fun, stress-free, and entirely focused on you.

Why Couples Choose My Photography Style

Couples often tell me they love my approach because it’s a balance of artistic vision and authenticity. My photos aren’t overly posed or artificial, but they’re carefully composed to look beautiful and timeless.

I aim to capture:

• Real emotions and genuine moments

• Beautiful, flattering light

• The unique atmosphere of your wedding day

• Details that make your wedding personal and memorable

The end result is a gallery full of images that are heartfelt, timeless, and full of life — photos that tell your story exactly as it happened.
