In This Moment | Declarations

This emotional reportage wedding image, featuring Zoe and Julian, was created during a beautiful and intimate wedding ceremony in the Victorian Chapel at Fulham Palace in London.

What I love about this photograph is how it depicts the atmosphere and the emotion of the moment with absolute clarity.

It sums up, concisely, what I’m looking to achieve through my documentary wedding photography practice - an honest, authentic and timeless representation of a day. Nothing forced, awkward or contrived.

In 2018 I was honoured to have the image featured in this TV commercial by Penn Medicine in the US, it’s shown around 47 seconds in, worth a watch…

In This Moment | Midnight

This has to be one of my favourite images created last summer - captured just a few minutes after midnight in early July.

It’s quite common for me to stay late into the evening, especially during the summer months when the light lasts just that little bit longer. Sparkler runs are such an incredible way for a couple to exit their wedding - often jumping straight into a car and being driven to the airport to embark on their amazing honeymoon.

Essentially, you’re giving a naked flame to often hundreds of giddy guests. You’re then running backwards through a tunnel of dripping sparks simultaneously photographing the bride and groom - who may or may not have applied a touch more hairspray than usual that day.

There are very few moments during a wedding where I genuinely fear for my health… it’s really worth it though and this image sums up the very fun nature of the day, and Liv and Jack, perfectly!

In This Moment | Confetti Wedding Photography

I love a good confetti shot. Couples are utterly preoccupied. They’re too concerned about multiple handfuls of petals (and occasionally rice!) being thrown in their faces to even consider they’re being photographed. The resulting images are more than often some of the favourite bride and groom photographs created over the course of a day.

Almost all of the couples I work worth are not necessarily camera shy but certainly camera aware. They appreciate genuine, honest wedding photography and not feeling the need to play up to the cameras. I always suggest doing a confetti shot - not an award static one but a fast, slightly chaotic one, like this :)

And it’s not just the above that makes this fleeting but nonetheless significant moment so powerful, it’s also usually timed straight after the wedding ceremony and you actually see the apprehension, that’s built up over previous weeks, days and hours, release. It marks the end of the formalities and leads couples nicely into the reception and party element of the day.

I love the elation that this image depicts so honestly and sincerely.
