WEDDING PHOTO-JOURNALISM
UNPOSED, UNSCRIPTED, NATURAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Candid or documentary wedding photography is our favorite style to photograph a wedding.
People look the best when they don’t think about photography; when they’re not even aware that a camera is pointed at them. That is the very definition of candid wedding photography. We are there to capture genuine expressions, document quirky moments that make a wedding uniquely yours. We don’t want to improve these moments, manipulate them or stage them. These genuine expressions are yours alone; they should not be fabricated for you by a stranger with a camera.
In order to document without interfering, we try to make ourselves invisible. We don’t want to manufacture anything for you, prompt poses and ask for expressions. As documentary wedding photographers, we’ll just to stand back, observe and document what we see with a good eye and a quick finger on our camera shutter.
A wedding is a collection of many wonderful, individual stories; and we intend to capture all of them.
A little disclaimer is in order. We may suggest the position of a makeup chair, for example, to make sure we get the best possible light on your face. We may also give all of you a few pointers at the beginning about posing that makes you look your best. Apart from that, we will interfere as little as possible, and we’d like you to act as if we weren’t even there. Wait, that’s wrong, do NOT act… just be yourself.
Another thing… if your grandmother wants to get a picture with the bride, or if you ask me to get a quick “wife in progress” Instagram shot, we will not give you a lecture about photo-journalism. We’ll shoot you and your buddies in the best light we can find because it is your wedding and it is your special day and you can do whatever you damn well please!
FASHION AND PORTRAIT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
BE A STAR OF THE SHOW – BECAUSE YOU ARE
Formal portrait and group sessions are entirely optional
You may have found us while looking for a documentary or a candid wedding photographer, and yes; that style of wedding photography is the one we prefer and enjoy the most. We are not against the formal group photos, they are just not our favorite and they will often be taken care of by our second photographer.
We always try to capture what you and your wedding guests felt on your wedding day. Not just what they were wearing, which is what you get by lining up dozens of groups for a picture where everyone grins into the camera.
Having said all that, on your wedding day you will be wearing things that are beautiful, that are expensive and that you will never have another opportunity to wear again.
We are portrait and boudoir photographers when we don’t photograph weddings, so if you want a portrait/fashion inspired pictures, you will be in good hands. If you want to sneak out for a little while and take some stunning portraits by yourself, with your husband and your bridal party, we’re all for it.
We are based in Sydney, but we do travel
Most of the weddings we photographed were in Sydney or close to it. We have shot in The Blue Mountains, Bowral, Berrima, Central Coast.
The travel to the wedding location is included in the price as long as we can get there in an hour or 2. We can travel interstate and overseas, but the cost of the transfers and accommodation will have to be negotiated.
Please check our Pricing page and browse the gallery on top of this page to see our previous work, and we hope to hear from you soon.
