My Approach as a Gloucestershire Wedding Photographer
My approach to wedding photography is relaxed, documentary-led and unobtrusive.
Rather than directing the day, I focus on capturing the genuine moments as they naturally unfold — the emotion during the ceremony, the laughter during drinks reception and the atmosphere of the evening celebrations.
Alongside this documentary approach, I also guide a small number of natural editorial-style portraits around the venue grounds. These are relaxed and quick, allowing couples to enjoy their wedding day while still receiving beautiful images to treasure.
The gardens and countryside setting at Burleigh Court provide a wonderful backdrop for these quiet moments together.
