We arrive about an hour before the ceremony to photograph the location, guests arriving, portraits of the Groom and Best Man etc. If the Bride is getting ready at the same location, they have the option of being joined by the photographer in the Bridal suite to photograph the preparations.
We then cover the ceremony (with permission from the registrar or church officials) starting with the Brides arrival and entrance, the wedding vows and exchanging of rings, the signing of the register and the Bride and Groom exiting, which is all done in a very discreet manner. Formal group pictures are then taken and we then concentrate on photographing everyone present in an informal, candid style manner capturing the fun and atmosphere of the wedding.
More official portraits may be taken at the location of the ceremony or at the venue for the reception. Sometimes, if the ceremony and reception are in different places we'll stop off at a picturesque location for more formal pictures.
At the reception venue, we endeavour to capture all the details from the building to the table settings as well as more reportage style photography of the guests and a mock cutting of the cake, then we leave you to enjoy yourselves.
Remember, it's your day. Let me know who all you want photos of and I'll snap them up!
