We are husband & wife, we work as a team and we love weddings! Wondering what dress the bride will wear, what colour the flowers will be, the fabulous outfits, the array of different venues and every small detail that goes into each wedding to make it unique. Your wedding is a special day for you both to remember for the rest of your lives. Our aim is to capture the essence of your day without being intrusive, allowing you to relax and have a great time with your family and friends, while we record all those spontaneous moments. Our photography style gives you a story book memory of your day showing all the feelings, emotions and all the details that make your wedding day unique to you

We started wedding photography with a few ideas and just went with them. The approach I started with was pure reportage capturing the day without having any input at all. The style has now evolved into a mixture of reportage - a selection of family groups - portraits - details and relaxed images of the bride and groom on their own. We offer the complete wedding now and tell the story in a selection of individual hand made albums. I still love capturing one off images as they happen and I still let the day find its own pace without getting to envolved. The family groups are very informal and I capture a mixture of ‘ the photo looking towards the camera’ and the laughter and talking in between. We like to have at least fifteen minutes for a few images of the bride and groom relaxing together and I stand well back to capture natural images. The key to every wedding is the ‘timing’ and we find the best wedding receptions have at least 1:30 hours of free time for the bride and groom to enjoy their day.
The image below took about one minute to capture at curradine barns. Its worth giving us a few minutes of your time on the day.
