My Approach to Wedding Photography — Relaxed, Natural & Documentary

I’m not one of those photographers who bosses you around all day or drags you away from your own party.
That just isn’t my style.

That said — we still need to capture the images.

About 95% of every wedding day is candid.
The remaining 5% is split between:

• bride and groom portraits

• bridal party photos

• family photos

Even those are kept short and broken up naturally throughout the day.

When I’m not capturing those moments, everything else is real.
Guests chatting. Groups laughing. People being themselves.

I read the room quickly.
I’ll spot the uncle with the big laugh.
The aunt who still thinks she’s a teenager.
The guests who’ll get emotional.
And the ones who’ll bring the craic.

My system is simple.

I guide you when needed.
Then I step back.

I’ll chat with your guests, keep things light, and capture what’s actually happening.
Sometimes you’ll find me getting stories from your grandmother.
Other times I’m chasing kids around for a photo.
If there’s good energy and a few jokers about, I’ll lean into it and let the laughs flow naturally.

I feed off you and your guests.
If everyone’s having a great time, the photos reflect that.

Even the photos people usually dread — the “posed” ones — I create a moment within them.
A laugh. A reaction. Something real.

No stiff smiles.
No forced moments.

I’m not bossy.
I’m not strict.
I let the day flow.

And I’ll leave your wedding having thanked everyone.

That’s basically me.
