Bristol Documentary Wedding Photographer: Bold and Authentic Storytelling
Bristol Documentary Wedding Photographer, covering the UK & worldwide. I like to think of MY PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE As a perfect cocktail of CLASSY but ROCK N’ ROLL. My aesthetic is elegant as a champagne tower, bold as bourbon, tailored for those who are untraditional, Modern, love struck, wild, romantic, bold, adventurous, rule breakers, and rebellious.
The Philosophy: Involved but Unseen
My approach to capturing the essence of your day is to be involved, but go unseen. It’s going to feel like a guest is taking totally wizard pictures at your wedding. After all, I know what you’re mostly looking for is 10/10 pictures of you and your friends, with a couple of great shots of the two of you added in for good measure. I’m shooting it from a guests p.o.v. because THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, IS THAT I’M ALWAYS, ALWAYS ABOUT CAPTURING YOU, YOUR GUESTS, AND EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE MOST AUTHENTIC WAY POSSIBLE.
I thrive on documenting those raw, authentic moments that make your story one of a kind. From the loving glances to the wild dance moves, I’m going to be there to document it all. It’s so much easier to be photographed when you have a connection with somebody. (Think phone snaps on nights out with your mates, vs school photos. Which one makes you feel more comfortable?) From the first email, to the delivery of your gallery and beyond, I like to build a relationship with you both.
A Decade of Photography Experience
I HAVE a decade and a half of photography experience. my BACKGROUND IN FASHION AND PORTRAITURE, BUT ALSO IN LIVE MUSIC, is THE PERFECT cocktail to SHOOTING A WEDDING DAY. I know how to photograph people who aren’t used to it, and help them feel comfortable. however, I also know how to be ready for anything. You never know when someone’s going to do a front flip off of a stage into the crowd!
the best thing about shooting weddings, is that every couple and wedding is different, and that’s what helps me keep creating - i’m fuelled by your story, energy (& coffee!) I always aim to produce a gallery of images that is a true reflection and representation of your relationship.
