The wedding photography that we really treasure and the photos that we fall in love with are the ones that show real moments and emotions. This is why our approach is to capture you and your guests in a relaxed and natural way as your day unfolds. We don’t stage things, we don’t look for perfect, we focus on creating genuine, authentic memories.
We believe wedding photography should make you feel an emotion and we want to take you back to those amazing moments. So we integrate discretely into your wedding and document the day as it happens and capture the wedding photographs that we believe really matter – the ones that transport you back to the memory that they capture and bring a smile to your face or tear to your eye.
For most of the day you won’t even realise we are taking photos as we blend in with the wedding party and your guests to capture authentic moments while you have the best day ever.
It is a special day, with your special people, in a special place, so you want to be able to remember those moments together forever – it is amazing to think these images will live on for generations to come!
We take those important, heirloom photos, as quickly as possible, with minimal fuss and only mild direction as required. It won’t feel like a magazine photoshoot and we won’t tell you to say ‘cheese’, but you will probably laugh and hopefully have fun while we gather you with your fave people and then join the two of you for a quick walk around your chosen venue, with you, to get a few special images.
At the end of the day we are pointing a camera and pushing a button, the skill is not in operating the camera. The skill is how we get into the right place, become part of your wedding and avoid the cliches. We take photos as if we were spending the day with our own family and friends.
Words you could use to describe our approach to wedding photography are: candid, reportage, documentary, unobtrusive, modern and creative. The style and aesthetics of our images are formed to convey feeling and emotion, this is why we blend a neutral but colourful palette with high contrast black and white frames.
When choosing a photographer it is really important to make sure you get the person who will capture your day in the way you would like to see it, as well as provide you with a positive experience on the day by being easy to get on with.
We don't tell you what to do
Our aim is to leave you and your guests to enjoy the day while we join you with our minimal equipment to capture it discretely. There may be a few moments where you want us to organise an image or provide you with some mild direction, but other than that we don't pose and will not interrupt the natural flow of the day.
We won't distract you
It is really important to us that we let most of your day unfold without being interrupted by us. We have years of experience at being in the right place at the right time and capturing the moment without being a distraction.
We don't need you to be a model
Like having your photo taken less than Chandler from Friends? No problem, most of our couples don't really like having their photo taken! We are really good at putting you at ease and taking natural looking photos that capture the real you.
We love the dance floor
Maybe this is because we were both party animals in our younger years and now we are parents we don't get out much. So we absolutely love the party aspect of a wedding and love capturing energetic and creative photos of the dance floor action!
Is there a better way to know if you can trust and rely on a wedding photographer than hearing the experiences of previous couples? Here are some reviews – we are really proud of them!
Sarah & Oliver
Tithe Barn - Bolton Abbey
The effort and detail they put in before the wedding day to make sure they get to know you a little bit, is such a lovely touch.
Charlotte & Nick
Thicket Priory - York
They were attentive to our needs and really listened to what we wanted.
Aimee & John
Farmer Copleys - Wakefield
From the first moment we met these guys we knew we had struck gold, they’re professional, work their socks off, and what they produce is a perfect story of your day and who you are as a couple.
Holly & Jamie
Yorkshire Sculpture Park - Wakefield
They spent time with us, learning what we loved and who we are as people, they kept in contact on the run up to the wedding and then the day came.
We offer a combined service which is relaxed, unobtrusive, but provides you with all the feels from both still and moving images.
You may have a few questions, so we have answered a couple below and more more on our FAQ page. But if you have a question we haven’t answered please contact us, we would love to talk you through our process.
It’s difficult to work out what constitutes being ‘qualified’ in a creative industry, as anyone has the ability to learn how to do something and offer a service.
We would suggest the most important thing to look at is the consistency in the work a videographer/photographer produces, and take some time to learn a bit about them, and if you will connect with their personality and their approach to capturing your day.
We have years of experience capturing weddings, with lots of reviews from happy couples, and I a first class honours degree in Media and Photography.
Absolutely, we would always encourage you to look through full photo galleries and a variety of films before you choose your wedding storyteller. Once we know a little more about your plans we will send you more of our work which matches the style of venue and the time of year you plan to get married.
After you enquire with us through our contact form, or email/call we will send you some more information and invite you to have a video/phone call consultation. We love to get to know people and give you the opportunity to ask any questions directly. You are welcome to visit us in person if you prefer.
Contact us to see if we are available to capture your wedding.
