Philip Bourke Photography A candid approach, with a unique perspective, emphasis on putting together a story of your wedding d And therefore slowing your wedding day down?

In a nut shell, Reportage Photography means images are recorded in a Photojournalistic manner, your wedding day is reported or covered in photographs as that day moves along. Then why do so many photographers claim to be reportage when they set up so many images? Philip Bourke operates as a Photojournalistic photographer. A Reportage Photographer. A Documentary Photographer. Recording the images a

s your wedding day moves. No set ups, no jumping over walls, no pretend reportage,no hanging out of stable doors, no nonsense, no waffle about meaningless awards, no fuss for the couple. You will simply enjoy their day. It's about grabbing and creating images, anticipating photographs and documenting that day, moving with the pace of the day to record as it happens, keeping the atmosphere alive. "In general, the couples who book me say the same thing. No fussing, just real photographs. They see the images on my website and feel the energy and atmosphere, and even more so when they view my extensive portfolio. Professional people want a professional who will make the job with ease. And that's all I do. I simply record the day as it unfolds in a creative documentary fashion, it makes for something different and very unique, each wedding day definitely has it's own story to be told and pictures to be recorded. The images can be dynamic, the images can be subtle, but they won't have any generic cliches usually associated with wedding photography". Think Photography not Wedding Photography and You'll get something really cool, refreshing and memorable that really sums up your wedding day.

I seem to be photographing a high number of weddings outdoors in recent years. And much of this is down to the upward swing in Civil and Humanist weddings. Which year on year is steadily climbing upwards. And it is easy to see why. The Civil / Humanist ceremony tends to be such a relaxed and chilled...
