The second part isn't so simple. That's the photographer's part ~ it's the best day of somebody else's life, get the shots. No pressure there then; Thankfully, I enjoy photographing weddings, and like most people, I'm at my best when doing something that I enjoy. If I didn't enjoy wedding photography, then I wouldn't do it. This is important to me and it shows in my photography. My images hum with joy and happiness with a sense of fun. I believe in giving the best quality service I can, and work hard from start to finish to do this.
I don't like the idea of a wedding being turned into a film set with the guests feeling like extras waiting for a part. I try not to get in there way when taking shots so they can enjoy your wedding too. Yes, there may be a few shots which need a bit of prompting and direction, but most of my wedding photography is people being themselves resulting in a natural looking set of wedding photographs.
I observe your day as the story unfolds, taking in the key events but always on the lookout for details and those additional fleeting moments, essential for recreating the unique atmosphere of your wedding ~ the emotions, the laughter, the joy... and the serious (occasionally combined in one photo.
