WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY WITHOUT THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Before I became a photographer I was a writer. Even spending a few strange months writing for Banksy, which wasn’t the most obvious route into photographing weddings, but perhaps explains why I’m still looking for stories rather than shot lists.

I’ve been photographing weddings for more than fifteen years, but I still don’t really think of myself as a wedding photographer.

I’m a photographer who turns up at weddings.

There’s a difference.

I don’t arrive with a predetermined idea of what your wedding should look like. I want to see what’s actually there: you, the guests, the party, the beautiful bits, the strange bits, the things that go slightly wrong and the fleeting things that couldn’t possibly have been planned. The spontaneity and brilliant chaos of it all.

The photographs should look like your wedding, not somebody else’s idea of wedding photography.

The approach is documentary. The eye is probably more editorial. After years of photographing fashion, portraits, parties, burlesque and London nightlife alongside weddings, those worlds inevitably bleed into each other.

So yes, I’ll photograph the beautiful stuff.

But I’ll also photograph what happens five seconds later.
