APPROACH
RELATIONSHIPS ARE EVERYTHING
Relationships, in my opinion, are the most important thing. I believe that investing in you & getting to know you as a couple as best I can is what makes me seamlessly blend into the background. It’s what makes you comfortable to have a good old snog with each other in front of the camera like I’m not even there. It’s what gets those natural portrait shots. It’s what makes me stay until late at night and feel like time has flown by, boogying along with you while you dance the night away. I never want to be known as the ‘photographer’ but ‘Emrys’, your friend on the day documenting you having the best time of your lives…so far. So let’s go for a coffee or a drink & get to know each other 🙂
EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN
When it comes to you walking down the aisle (or waiting at the bottom), vows, speeches & first dance; I’ve got that covered. But a wedding is so much more than those traditional, albeit incredibly special, moments. It’s capturing the moments in-between all of the big shots. The hugs, the kisses, the laughs, the holding of hands, the reactions & parts which you never saw & never knew were being documented. It’s my job as much as any, to capture unseen for you to re-live forever.
ALONE TIME
After all, this day is about you & your love for each other. While I absolutely won’t take you away for hours on end, I do believe it’s immensely important to capture a few moments of you both together in the beautiful surroundings you’ve chosen. Just you, looking your absolute best, being yourselves away from the noise for a few blissful moments.
FAMILY FAVOURITES
The good old group shots! There is huge value in having generations of family & friends in the same shot. That being said, I don’t want you stood in one place for any great length of time on a day which goes SO quick. We’ll have a list, find a nice backdrop, and run through the names of the people you want to have some formal photos with. You can have as many as you want! However, just be aware; the more you have, the more time it will take.
WEDDING FAVOURITES
The shots that don’t happen at every wedding, but we see a lot & may take a tiny bit of organising & input from me. The spectacular confetti shot, the first look, the exchanging of gifts or even popping a bottle of fizz in sunglasses at night. I’m here for them all & any other special shots you may want to curate.
