My Approach to Wedding Photography

With over 24 years of experience in capturing love stories, I’ve come to understand that wedding photography is much more than simply snapping pictures. It’s an art of immortalising moments, emotions, and the enchantment of that day. Let me share with you my approach to wedding photography.

Preserving Every Precious Moment

The true beauty of a wedding lies within its moments. The nervous anticipation felt by the groom at the altar, the father’s eyed walk as he escorts his daughter down the aisle, the exuberant laughter during speeches, and that magical first dance. These are all moments that deserve to be eternally cherished.

Throughout my career as a wedding photographer spanning over two and a half decades, I have dedicated myself to capturing each and every one of these moments. I always remind myself that I am not merely taking photographs; rather I am weaving together a narrative of a couple’s extraordinary day.

By blending into the background, I discreetly document every aspect as it naturally unfolds. This “fly on the wall” approach enables me to encapsulate shots that authentically portray the emotions and dynamics of this momentous occasion. You won’t find me orchestrating scenes or requesting smiles; instead, my focus is on capturing authentic memories in their purest form. Instead, I prefer to let the day unfold naturally ensuring that the images I capture reflect authenticity and genuine emotions.

The Enchanting Essence of a Wedding

Each wedding holds a kind of enchantment brimming with love, joy, and a sense of jubilation. As a wedding photographer, my role is to encapsulate that enchantment.

I pay attention to the details. The delicate lace on the bride’s veil, the thoughtfully selected centerpieces, those stolen glances exchanged between newlyweds. These often overlooked elements amidst the whirlwind of the day contribute to its magic.

However, true magic emanates from the people themselves. The couple, proud parents, and excited friends. It’s in their smiles, tears, and infectious laughter. It’s in how the bride’s eyes light up upon seeing her groom or how he tenderly holds her hand. It’s even evident on everyone’s faces as they let loose on the dance floor during that dance.

I firmly believe that this magical essence lies within these moments of connection and celebration. Therefore it is my endeavor to capture these instances through my photography.

In conclusion, my approach, towards wedding photography revolves around seizing every essence of this day. From capturing their glimpse to their very last dance together. My goal is to create an assortment of pictures that perfectly depict the one-of-a-kind love story of each couple. I want to capture every moment and the enchantment that accompanies it. You see, when the festivities are over and everyone has left, these photographs will serve as timeless mementos forever reminding them of the love, happiness, and enchantment that characterised their day.
