Here’s a quick sneak peek at Sarah and Alex’s wedding photography from Crosby Hall, Liverpool on Sunday. I shall be editing the full wedding next week so that they can see their photography as soon as they come back from Honeymoon but I couldn’t resist just pulling  a few photographs out to share with them. The documentary wedding photography approach really suited the day they had planned – a ‘wedstival’ theme with the entirety of Crosby Hall being booked out for wedding guests the whole weekend so that celebrations could continue the next day – as it was about informality and the day unfolding naturally without strict timetables. I could be there and capture the day as it happened as a documentary photographer, just the way I like it.

I love producing documentary wedding photography for couples. Kieran and Laura’s wedding at Stockport Manor in Billericay, Essex was a a lovely day – despite the April showers that dotted the day. Being a documentary wedding photographer across the UK I work in many different places with many different people and this is really enjoyable for me as I feel it keeps my photography fresh, responsive and very focused on the people I’m working with. It just goes to show that weddings aren’t necessarily about the weather or the venue (although Stockport Manor has some great things to recommend it) but about the people involved. Family and friends gathered around the couple on this Friday and made the day really special – as I hope my photography reflects.

This is Helen and Toby’s wedding day photography from the boutique Peak District hotel ‘The Maynard Arms’ in Derbyshire. Between dodging the expected April showers family and guests gathered for a relaxed celebration in this lovely hotel and restaurant. My documentary approach to photographing their wedding day really suited the sort of day Helen and Toby were after – which meant that they could enjoy and celebrate the day without having to stick to a strict timetable of photography but knew I’d be there to capture things as they happened (much the best way for me to work too).
