When I think back to an individual wedding, it’s rarely just the big moments I remember from each one.
It’s often much smaller things. And those will be the moments you will love to look back on too.
As a wedding unfolds, I start to notice little threads running through the day. Certain relationships, expressions and characters keep appearing. Someone who gets emotional every time they look at the couple. A friendship where you can tell there are years of stories behind the laughter. A child who has found their own way to entertain themselves.
And I particularly love watching the quieter people.
The ones who perhaps don’t say very much, but have a cheeky glint in their eye that tells me something is going to happen. I quickly learn who to keep half an eye on because, sooner or later, they usually give me something wonderful to photograph.
That’s one of my favourite things about photographing weddings - you get a glimpse into other people’s lives and personalities for a day.
Of course I’ll photograph the ceremony, the confetti, the speeches and the first dance. But around all of those things, there are dozens of smaller stories unfolding.
The people you invited. The relationships between them. The expressions you didn’t see. The conversations happening at the other end of the room. The little threads that begin in the morning and somehow weave their way through the whole day. Those are the things I’m always looking for.
Because while you’re busy living your wedding, there’s a whole world of things happening around you. And I love being able to give some of that back to you afterwards.
If this sounds like the way you’d like to remember your wedding, I’d love to hear from you.
