Owen Mathias Photography A wedding photographer for people who think they hate wedding photographers. Is that really you?

If your wedding is more punk than pomp, more juxtaposition than tradition, more raving than shaving, more cocktails than fairytales, then I may just be your man. It’s an occasion special enough to make you want to save it forever, so why settle for manufactured robo-photos with staged poses and scenery that pasteurise originality? There’s no reason your day shouldn’t be remembered and treasured through unique photographs that capture the real beauty and atmosphere you will create. I’m not a run-of-the-mill wedding photographer, that’s why I may not be the best photographer choice for every wedding – I openly admit that churches make me feel slightly uncomfortable unless there’s the promise of a great party afterwards! However, for those people who have taken the time to rethink what is expected from their wedding day, who wish to express their personality, we have fun producing extraordinary photographs.

Every wedding has two stories.

The one you've planned for months.

And the one that actually unfolds.

The flowers, chairs and candles set the scene.

The people write the story.

And, if you ask me, the second one is always the better one.

There comes a point when your wedding stops being a plan and starts being a celebration.I love that moment.

You can’t pose this.

You probably couldn’t recreate it.

And I’m not entirely convinced everyone involved could explain it afterwards.

But for about three seconds, this was the wedding.

And luckily, I was there. 🤣

A good wedding isn't one where everyone behaves perfectly.

It's one where everyone feels comfortable enough not to.

Nobody plans for this photograph, and that's why I love it.

No bride has ever said "Can you make sure you get one of my bridesmaids doing the worm?"

But years later...this might be the photo that makes everyone laugh the hardest.

You could focus on the bride here.

But I was more interested in her mum.

There’s something about that look from the doorway that says more than I probably could.

The w**e just makes it better.

Nobody remembers weddings because they were perfect.

They remember them because they were personal.

The little jokes, the daft ideas.

The things that only made sense to the people getting married.

Those are the details that become family stories.

Nobody asks for photographs like this.

And yet...They're often the ones people treasure the most.

Not because they're perfect, but because they capture someone exactly as everyone remembers them.

"That's so you!"

There’s relaxed around a camera. And then there’s this.

By this point in the night, nobody really cares about looking good for the photographs.

People are just being themselves, taking the p**s, spilling drinks, getting a bit too close to each other and generally behaving in a way they probably won’t remember quite as clearly in the morning.

Which, photographically, is ideal.

Lost and found.

Weddings have a funny way of creating very important jobs nobody knew they’d been assigned.

Today’s task: reunite one earring with its owner.

When you’re looking at wedding photographers, don’t just look at the photographs.

Look at the people in them.

Look at their eyes.

Look at whether they seem relaxed. Connected. Happy to have that photographer right there with them.

Because the way you feel about the person behind the camera will end up in the pictures too.

And this is the look I want from my couples.

Not “here comes the photographer again.”

More like:“There he is.”

That relationship matters.
