Weddings Gone By
Candid, Documentary-Style Wedding Photography in Wales & the UK
A candid look back at weddings gone by
Feel free to browse these curated ‘Weddings Gone By’ galleries to get a sense of my natural, relaxed, candid style. You’ll find the full story here, from Putting on the War Paint (bridal prep) right through to the First Stagger and the Nighttime Shenanigans.
My approach is mostly unposed, capturing the day as it happens. That said, I know we have to get your friends and loved ones in the frame with you; if we didn’t get the formal shots, your families wouldn’t be happy. Don’t worry, though; we’ll get those organised lineups out of the
way sharpish so the fun and games can commence.
