Dear Richard & Sharon

It already seems a long time since our wedding but are so lucky to have such amazing photographs with which to remember the day by.

Thank you both so much for everything. You are a lovely couple and made us feel relaxed throughout the day. Many guests commented that they hardly noticed you and couldn’t believe how many photos we have of the day! It’s going to be difficult to decide on our favorites as there are so many fantastic pictures.

It was such a special day for us and you both played a big part in that, so thank you again.

Kind Regards

Stephen & Ruth

Reportage Wedding Photography - What is it?

I get asked this question allot and so i thought i would tell you what i think it is……Reportage and documentary photography are ’story telling styles’ of photography. When i photograph a wedding i take single images to capture moments, to tell the story of the day. The wedding album is the documentary part where we put all the images together in a sequence that tells the story. I am very quiet and try to blend in at the wedding, this does not mean i have to hide - just blend in and capture images as people accept me being around with a camera. We mix reportage and traditional photography as i see a place for both in a wedding album. Traditional photography at a wedding does not mean you are going to be standing around for hours in group photographs, traditional elements are images of the two of you together relaxed and enjoying yourself or just after signing the register having a laugh. There has been a trend towards reportage photography but we have found that most people end up having a mixture of styles.
