Professional Wedding Photographers London. Charlotte and Max.

Charlotte’s father has a garage full of classic cars at their home in Weybridge Surrey. Max lives next door and is his father is also a big car enthusiast. It is a classic boy and girl next door story and you can tell by the way Charlotte and Max are together that they are a perfect couple. Find out more about our wedding photography.

We made good use of the cars and above is one of the many shots that were taken on Saturday. The rain threatened to disrupt things at times during the day but it added to the fun with guests and the family dodging showers in and out of the marquee. I met Charlotte and Max at two weddings I photographed last year in Scotland and they came to see me at my studio in January.

They are off on honeymoon on Tuesday next week.

Wedding Photographer London. Caroline and Paul.

Over the years I have photographed a number of weddings at The Church at the end of Lombard Street, it is a beautiful intimate space and has a wide entrance set of steps ideal for relaxed group and confetti shots.

I’m always surprised how little traffic there is in the city at the weekend, and you could see Caroline arriving with her father in her white London taxi from some way away.

They had a fantastic day with their family and friends and they are off on honeymoon to the lake district on Wednesday.

I have met Caroline and Paul a number of times at their friends weddings during the last year and they booked me last September at a wedding where Caroline was maid of honour and Paul was an usher. Find out more about my wedding photography services here.

Wedding Photographers London. Karon and Simon.

Simon and Karon have been buying my photographs for years and they have a large collection of my London and New York photographs in their house in Clapham, South West London. I was very pleased when they asked me to photograph their wedding. For More information on wedding photography go to my dedicated wedding photography site.

Saturday was a windy but otherwise a sunny day and the confetti shots on the steps of The Chelsea Town Hall were excellent. The party moved morved across the road to the Bluebird restaurant where they had their reception.

Simon and Karon will take their honeymoon in New Zealand later in the year.

If you type in ‘Wedding photographer London‘ into Google 46 million web pages are listed. And that is just specific to London. It just goes to show what a competitive industry wedding photography is.

Most modern couples are looking for something quite different from the photography their parents probably had, and rightly so, as times have changed not only in terms of modern camera gear and techniques but also in terms of style and composition. ‘Reportage’ and ‘Contemporary’ are words widely used within those 46 million websites, and I use that sort of vocabulary also as that’s generally what modern couples want to see in their wedding photographs. They want to see all of their friends and family having a great time at their party, and they want to remind themselves in the years to come what a great do they put on, and how good they looked and how happy they were on their wedding day.

I believe that successful wedding photography involves not simply portraying the main events of the day but capturing the mood and spirit of the occasion. To do that you need to be able to get in close without getting too close, ‘unobtrusive’ is another word we photographers use a lot. You also need to produce a good set of group shots as well as the animated photographs, and I think these group shots are often the most difficult to make a good job of. The group shots need to be well lit and well composed, throwing a group of people no matter how smartly dressed they are won’t work. The groups need to look balanced, not only in terms of family groupings, but also well structured. It’s also essential to have a responsible member of the bridal party on hand to help assemble the groups so the photographer can concentrate on getting the shots of the group coming together and moving apart. Some of the best animated shots can be taken as groups form and move apart again.

Key photographs such as confetti throwing and bouquet tossing also need a little bit of organising, it’s important that the photographer is a good position and that the throwers are coordinated. Photography is all about being in the right place at the right time and very little about what gear you have.

Post production is a very important part of the process. One you’ve loaded all of the images onto your computer, and there may be in excess of 1000 images, you can then enhance your style as a photographer. Most of the couples I’ve photographed over the years ask for a mixture of black & white and colour, and they also know that each image starts life as a colour image which can be manipulated almost to their specification.

I then put the finished set of photographs on my website which can be password protected if required, and send a DVD with the high res images to the couple. The couple normally have their finished set of photographs about 2 weeks after the wedding day, often a nice surprise for when they return from their honeymoon.

I also offer a selection of wedding albums as part of my wedding packages. This year my digital packages have been very popular as the couple can pay for the photography and the digital photographs and start making an album when funds allow.
