With so many weddings we’ve attended we’ve come to understand what our photography means to our clients. We value the importance of telling the story of the day. We understand that in order to do this you need to be immersed in your wedding – we are only there to document the day, not to turn your wedding into one big photoshoot!
We’re passionate about capturing the story of the day. We love all the predetermined events such as the vows and the first dance but more than that we love all the moments in-between. Every wedding is unique and our aim will be to document yours as it unfolds naturally. Nothing fake or contrived – just you as you are, and your wedding as it happens.
With an artistic vision, our focus will be to capture the emotion, moments and atmosphere in an authentic way. The result will be a beautiful story told through a set of unique and timeless photographs.
