Wedding photography is changing
These are exciting times for wedding photographers in Northern Ireland. The wedding photography we all grew up with – boring portraits, endless combinations of stiff group shots, white vignettes and soft focus – has had its day (and not a moment too soon!).
The new generation of wedding photographers understand that you want a true record of your big day. You want relaxed photos of your friends and family enjoying themselves, you want beautiful detail shots that tell the complete story of the wedding, you want gorgeous natural portraits with the love of your life. Modern wedding photographers don’t just want to document who was at your wedding, they want to capture the emotions of those people, the laughs and the tears.
It’s a cliché but it’s true: once the day is over, what have you got? Your memories and your photos. Photos that will only increase in value, that will bring so much joy to your children and grandchildren as they look back and realise just how gorgeous you were! That’s why it’s such an honour to be a wedding photographer : )
My style
I *love* weddings. And I understand weddings. I realise how important they are to you, and I will do everything in my power to give you the fabulous wedding photographs that you deserve. I find it exciting and humbling when someone lets me be part of their big day, and I want to repay them with the most beautiful photographs they’ve ever seen.
My aim is to give storybook-style coverage of every aspect of your wedding. For much of the day you won’t even notice I’m there, I’ll blend into the background and record the fun as it unfolds around me. I’ll mix documentary-style photography with stylish informal posed shots of you and the rest of the bridal party. I realise that some people aren’t as comfortable as others in front of the camera so I keep it relaxed and always fun. Having your photos taken should be a part of the celebrations, not a distraction from them.
I don’t do gimmicks. The wedding photographs I give you will be fresh and modern, but also timeless and elegant. They’ll look as great in 20 years as they do today.
