Portraits

Although I describe myself as a reportage wedding photographer, I encourage you to do a few ‘formal’ shots. I do my best to make them as fun as possible and I find that bride and grooms who are apprehensive about this part of the day, end up enjoying it much more than they thought.

Bride and Groom portraits

The bride and groom portraits can be done in a quiet location away from the guests. They normally take around 20 minutes. I like to engage with my couples in an activity, such as walking, or sitting and chatting, so that these portraits don’t appear contrived and stilted although they will be ‘set up’ to some degree. I often use a long lens for these so I am standing a fair way away, allowing the couple to interact normally.

Family and Group Shots

Although I spend the majority of the day as a reportage wedding photographer, I would recommend you consider having a few family portraits as well as a group shot. Often family relatives enjoy the more formal shots and a group shot of everyone is a nice reminder of who attended. And with the 2nd photographer on hand its also a good time to capture more natural shots.

 Cardiff Reportage Wedding Photographer

Inspired by photojournalism, reportage wedding photographers have become increasingly popular in recent years for capturing weddings in a more engaging and natural style. It is best described as documentary in style, capturing the significant events and emotions of the day in a fly on the wall manner with the absolute minimum of intervention or direction.

As a reportage wedding photographer, I work as unobtrusively as possible, sometimes invisible in the background, sometimes close to the bride, groom and guests.

My style of reportage wedding photography combines reportage with bride and groom portraits if required, as well as the obligatory group shots! At these times I will use the minimum of fuss to get the shots taken so you can concentrate on your day.
