Quiet Chaos and Natural Light — Wedding Preparation Moments
The often chaos of preparation is always a great place to start — my photography seems to calm the chaos — inasmuch as the memories I capture are usually missed. I want this gallery to show how well I fit in, and am welcome at a very personal time for everyone. I’m there not to over direct or interrupt — I’m there in a genuinely friendly and calm way — allowing me to capture moments like these.
This is another part in the story and how I approach this in my own unique way.
The bride closes her eyes, smiling softly.
You can almost hear her thoughts — calm, happy, wrapped in morning light.
The wedding dress where it was placed — untouched in the light.
Real memories, exactly as they were.
The bride’s sister sharing a picture book with her nephew.
A small stillness in the middle of the wedding morning rush.
When your photos show real smiles and emotions like this — I’ve done my job right. Unedited soft light and colour tell the story perfectly — The bride and her sister and father…
Focused and still — the bride sits quietly as her eye makeup is applied.
Hair in rollers, the morning light soft around her. A quiet moment at Allerton Castle.
Just a few steps apart, but completely connected.
One sister leans on the doorway, the other smiles back — a quiet moment between them before the day begins.
Bridesmaids elegant on the chaise in Allerton Castle’s bridal suite.
Leaning forward to fasten their shoe buckles — quiet focus captured in pure black and white.
The couple chose a quaint cottage close to the church — a perfect place to relax later. I don’t try to plan what I will photograph — instead I am there calmly and move around looking for moments like this. No over editing — the colours and ambience true — real memories.
A flower girl peeks from behind the sofa, holding a stem of flowers, smiling shyly.
Just below her, her brother sits clutching his apple — a quiet, cute smile for the camera. Little ones so often ‘Steal the Show’ at weddings, you can see this gallery too:
