My Wedding Photography Style
My Wedding Photography Style: A Blend of Professionalism and Fun
1. Documentary Approach:
When it comes to wedding photography, my style is rooted in a documentary wedding photography approach. About 98% of every wedding is captured candidly—there’s simply no other way. Instead of stopping to pose for every shot, I blend in, chat, observe, and capture moments as they naturally unfold. This approach makes me a top choice for couples searching for a documentary-style wedding photographer in Dublin, Cork, and Kerry.
2. First Impressions Matter:
A good wedding photographer, walks into the room with eyes wide open. My first impressions are everything, and while engaging in small talk, I’m scouting the best light and perfect spots for detail shots. Whether it’s a window or a door to hang the dress, I’m making mental notes of the images I want to capture. This kind of attention to detail is why I'm recognized as one of the top wedding photographers in Cork and Kerry.
3. Building Connections:
Once those initial few minutes of observation are done, it's time for action. And by action, I don’t mean snapping away immediately. I focus on building relationships with everyone there. My outgoing attitude puts people at ease, and by the time I bring out the camera, we’re already friends. This connection is key to my success as a fun and relaxed wedding photographer in Ireland, from the bustling streets of Dublin to the scenic landscapes of Kerry.
4. Breaking the Ice:
The first 15 minutes of any wedding can be a little sketchy. You’re figuring me out, and I’m figuring you out. But soon enough, you’ll realize I’m all about fun. I’m most likely the one bringing the laughs as I walk around, chat, and snap pictures. My goal is for you to forget I’m even there and see me as one of the guests. Whether you're having a grand celebration in a Cork city ballroom or an intimate gathering in the Killarney countryside, my style is all about blending in and capturing candid, joyful moments.
5. Quick Bridal Shots:
Once the dress is on, it only takes about two minutes to capture some bridal images. Don’t worry; this is easy stuff. I might move you into better light, or you might already be in the perfect spot. We’ll just chat and snap for a couple of minutes, making it a breeze. This spontaneous and candid approach is why brides searching for a wedding photographer in Cork and Limerick love working with me.
6. Groom’s Comfort Zone:
I often hear that most grooms don’t like having their picture taken—until they meet me. I put them at ease in seconds. The instructions are simple, and there’s nothing you wouldn’t naturally do. I’ll create moments that make you burst into genuine laughter. Throughout the morning, I gather tidbits about what makes you laugh or smile, so I can use those during the bride and groom portraits. This personalized approach is why I’m a popular choice for those seeking a relaxed wedding photographer in Cork and Kerry.
7. A Relaxed Experience:
My style is very relaxed: 98% candid with the remaining 2% split between formal family and bride and groom images. By the time we get to these shots, you’ll see me as a friend holding a camera. Trust me; it’s as if I’m just another guest capturing the celebration. My goal is to create timeless images, whether you're planning a destination wedding in Dublin or a cozy ceremony in Cloughjordan House, Tipperary.
