What is documentary wedding photography?

Documentary wedding photography is a relaxed and unobtrusive style where the photographer captures the day as it happens naturally. Rather than staging moments or forced poses, I focus on candid interactions and creative storytelling.

We are camera-shy; how do you handle photos for creative couples who hate posing?

My approach is designed for couples who want to enjoy their day without feeling like they are on a film set. I provide gentle guidance only when needed, ensuring you feel relaxed and that the final images reflect your genuine connection.

Do you travel for weddings outside of London?

Yes, I provide wedding photography services UK-wide. Whether your wedding is in a London warehouse, a rural barn, or a coastal venue, I travel to capture creative stories across the country.

Will we still get formal group photos if we choose a documentary style?

Absolutely. While my primary focus is candid and relaxed, I understand the importance of family legacy. We typically spend 15-20 minutes on a small selection of efficient, high-quality group portraits so you can get back to the party.
