Wedding photography for couples who just want to be themselves

Still completely obsessed with the @tdth_ceremonie

Still completely obsessed with the @tdth_ceremonies content day at the @orangerysuite

I very rarely do styled shoots or content days - honestly I’m just too lazy to organise them, or I’m busy working in the commercial side of my business.

But I’m so grateful @dixienormousdragartist trusted me it this vision.

My top 5 Horror Movies as a wedding photographer …

😱 Being already booked on your date
😱 Memory Card/Hard Drives Prices
😱 “I’ll edit that out later...”
😱 Being Ghosted 👻💔
😱 Forgetting ALL of my batteries

Funny? Yes, true? Also a bit! 🤭 Good job I LOVE seeing a horror at the cinema - we’re off to see Hokum tonight… but I’d like to keep them out of my business.

What life/business/wedding horrors are you hoping to avoid?

Obviously your photographer needs to know what the

Obviously your photographer needs to know what they are doing technically. That part matters. You want someone who can handle light, movement, weather, timelines, dark venues, chaotic dancefloors, and all the rest of it.

But weddings are not created in a vacuum. They happen around people, emotions, nerves, family dynamics, shifting plans, and the occasional mildly off-kilter schedule. So being good with people is not some bonus extra. It is a massive part of the job.

Knowing when to step in, when to back off, grabbing drinks or brandishing safety pins, how to keep things moving without being bossy (OK maybe a bit when group photos are happening), how to reassure someone without making a big thing of it, how to get the picture without killing the mood.

Wedding guests are one of the finest forms of live

Wedding guests are one of the finest forms of live entertainment. I BLOODY love people watching, it’s a massive perk of the job….

Obviously I am there to photograph you, your day, your people, and all the big important moments. Very professional. Deeply committed to the job.
But I would be lying if I said wedding guest behaviour was not one of my favourite side quests.

There is always someone crying during the ceremony after swearing they would not, someone fixing everyone’s outfit like they work there, and at least one guest giving an unexpectedly committed dancefloor performance. There is also usually a relative quietly holding the whole social energy of the day together.
I love all of it.

Weddings are full of weird, brilliant little moments like that, and they are a huge part of what makes the day feel real. Yes, the big moments matter, but so does your mate losing it over the evening pizza and your aunt going for it when Proud Mary starts playing.

Who is most likely to be the wildcard at your wedding? I’d love to know the tea!
