The photographer who cried at the wedding

“It is a profound honour as a photographer to witness two people falling in love." – Jesh de Rox -

Introduction:

One of the guests asked the bride "do you know the wedding photographer?" "why?" asked the bride. "Because she cried at the wedding!". And that was the moment I realised that I did fell so emotional at the wedding in Dudley Registry this year that I shed a tear or two , watching the emotions overflowing when the couple was exchanging rings and vowels. Both the groom and bride look so in love and happy that I could not resist being completely "into" the moment. I realised how priviledged I was to share this precious moment and how much I would like to be part , documenting the future moments of the couples who are deeply in love with each other. If you are one of those couples, please get in touch with me! Would love to hear your story and if you feel I am the right for you, be there to document the beautiful moments of your wedding.

So here are some of the reasons why you would like to hire me as your professional wedding photographer

1. I like connecting in a deep level with the people I take photos of.

 My mantra is "Today I will make a meaningful connection with the people I meet" . When I wake up in the morning and have this kind of attitude, usually magic happens. The people I meet that day do share the same values as me and we connect in a deep level , sharing mutual past or current experiences and learning from each other. By having a meaningful connection, trust develops and when there is trust, usually the day works out better with better results and memories. That love story reveals by itself in the pictures I take.

2. I love documenting natural moments in black and white.

Documenting some of the emotions of the day in black and white leaves you with timeless memories to treasure. The child that poked his nose... the mum of the bride that shed a tear.. the bride fixing the flower on her brother' s jacket.. the relatives taking pictures of the couple.. the jokes of the brother of the groom.. little small details of the day that will remind of your special with fondness.

3. I would like your day to be as stress free as possible.

Your big day is already a stressful day for everything to be perfect without you worrying about how you will look in front of the camera. After spending some time with me you will feel that you do not need to stress about the photos. You will see it as a fun activity where you can be yourselves and enjoy the day. That will reflect on your photos as the more relaxed you are and less worried the more you will set yourselves free to enjoy and create great memories of your special wedding day.

4. Making connections with the guests

Getting to know the guests , is part of documenting the story. Cause everyone has a story to tell, as long as you spend some time to invest and listen. It becomes then such a pleasure to document that genuine smiles and the story of the people who have played a major part in the couple's story.

5. I love playing with kids

Kids feel more relaxed and happy when they get to know the person who takes pictures of them. If you have kids guests, be assured I will get to know them and they will feel relaxed and happy in front of the camera. Having kids of my own has helped me to understand what makes kids happy.. Some crazy face expressions and maybe the use of some balloons or bubbles. After all they make parents happy when they are attending a wedding and make a wedding more interesting and fun!

6. I do not use flash

I believe the use of flash disrupts the Registrar and the couple from their special moment. I use appropriate settings to create the natural most precious time of your life with a minimal disruption.
