How we will photograph your wedding day

Being in front of the camera can be very daunting and is why we spend so much time building up  a relationship with you prior to the big day. We want to become your friends, who you will  invite into your wedding day with open arms. Our couples have always made us feel right at home at the start of the day, with some even making us a cuppa when we arrive! (Oliver is a huge coffee lover). We will capture the day as it unfolds, getting those natural moments that you didn’t even know had happened, including mum and dad welling up over their baby getting ready get married.

We don’t just focus on those jaw dropping couple portraits, although they are amazing. We want to truly capture everyones personalities on your wedding day. So you can belly laugh at Uncle Bob on the bouncy castle, whilst flicking through your gorgeous wedding album.

Details

You would have spent weeks, months or even years planning your wedding day from the venue right the way down to the biodegradable confetti. So to us, it is really important that we capture all of those important elements on your wedding day. From photographing many weddings, we have developed a strategic timeline of a wedding day that enables us to capture everything. Whilst you are having your makeup done, we will be photographing the dress, invitations, jewellery and other little details. Whilst you are enjoying a few refreshments outside, we will be photographing all the details of the reception room. Whilst you are tucking into your three course meal, we will be taking the time to photograph your wedding rings, bouquet and so much more. We really do ensure every detail is captured in a unique and creative way.

The wow shots

Our couple portraits are more than likely what drew your attention to our website in the first place. This is where we shine as a couple, both of us come from a creative background and as a result we come up with some fantastic pre-planned ideas that will get those jaw dropping couple shots.

A lot of our couples come to us and say “we aren’t very good at posing” to which we reply “great! because we hate posing anyway haha”. Through our experienced direction you will naturally find yourself bumping into each other, bear hugging, leaning in for a kiss, nestling each-others noses, going in for a cwtch and not forgetting jumping into your partners arms. All of our couple portraits start with a gentle walk whilst chatting to one and other. We find that this gets you comfortable and ready for some more intimate portraits.

Being from the welsh valleys we truly appreciate the importance of family, thats why we want to keep you away from your family for as little time as possible. Like we tell all of our couples in our consultations, we will take you away for three 20-30 minute stints. After your ceremony and group shots, we will take you for some couple portraits around your ceremony venue. Then when the sun starts to set we will go for a walk around your reception venue and any other requested locations near by to get that stunning golden hour glow. Then just before your first dance, we will go outside to get some creative night time portraits which you will be blown away by. To us, family is the most important part of any wedding day and we want you to be around your family as much as possible.
