How would you describe your photographic style?

“I focus on elements that a movie director may deem important (the in-between, scene setters, emotive moments), what the client values (portraits, special captures of moments), and what a photographer seeks (composition, good light, and more). For me, elopements are about immersing yourself in love for each other and the outdoors. I enjoy capturing images that embody that tone.”

“Since I started my brand and independent business as a full-time wedding photographer, I knew I would never stop learning. My goal back then was to start shooting weddings on film. Over the past two years, I have been able to incorporate this type of photography that I love so much into my wedding coverages.”

“Stepping away from weddings and focusing on other work has significantly contributed to my overall growth. It allows me to bring new experiences back with me on a wedding day. Whether it’s shooting an editorial assignment or even capturing images for my own artistic fulfillment, I believe it’s always important to pursue and chase that feeling that made me pick up a camera in the first place. Almost 100% of the time, that happens when I’m simply exploring the world around me and creating intentional-unintentional images.”

How would you describe your client experience?

“Let’s be honest; weddings can be stressful. I offer my clients as much practical support as possible. I provide all my couples with practical planning resources and make it a point to meet with them before their wedding day. Throughout this process, I delve into their core values, explore family dynamics, and understand their individual visions for their dream day. Weddings are inherently creative endeavors, and my experience as an art teacher has equipped me with the skills to work with a wide range of personalities, gently empowering them to show up as their authentic selves.”

How would you describe your client experience?

“I am a huge empath. I feel everything around me—the emotions, the unspoken words, the body language. Because of this, I shoot in a way that feels incredibly instinctual to me and varies hugely from client to client. A soft-spoken, nervous bride needs more care and tenderness from me. An outspoken, expressive bride needs more energy and a display of confidence from me. I will always value making a client feel good rather than doing anything to get the shot. When a bride and groom (and their family, friends, and guests) feel comfortable with your presence, the propensity for authentic, honest, and intimate interactions and moments increases hugely.”

How would you describe your photographic style?

“With a background in documentary photography, I tend to focus on moments that feel authentic because I believe that natural photographs are most meaningful to the couple. While weddings feature many design details and fashion elements, providing a great opportunity to capture objects and people in the most aesthetically pleasing way, like what we see in magazines. I hope that both documentary and editorial styles shine through in my work.”

How would you describe your client experience?

“Our client experience involves building a bond with our couples. We make an effort to understand what our couples envision for their wedding day, and based on their desires, we strive to bring their vision to life. We identify what they love most about our work and draw from that creative aspect. As a married couple ourselves, we aim to document their wedding as if it were our own! Additionally, we believe in building long-lasting relationships with our clients that extend beyond their wedding day.”

How would you describe your photographic style?

“I like to describe my approach to photography and overall style with the term ‘affective photography.’ This refers to a photographic approach that places a great deal of emphasis on the emotional weight of a moment and the visual translation of that display of emotion through the lens. My photographic work has become as diverse as I am, ranging from an editorial outlook to a vision that showcases the informality of relationships. Through my work, I aim to create a language that stems from my own perception of life.”

How would you describe your photographic style?

“It’s a bit taboo, I guess, but I don’t believe the wedding should be about the photos; rather, the photos should be about the wedding. I love looking at beautiful, perfect portraits from others, or really amazing artsy double exposures or styled artsy sets (it’s all so inspiring), but I really resonate the most with those true moments that couldn’t be replicated, no matter what prompts I guided them with.”

“It has been a blessing since the very start of my journey in the photography world. I was helped and taught by the most amazing people as I began to learn and work my way into the wedding industry. They showed me that we are here to serve, that we should be grateful for the opportunity to create a visual legacy for couples who believe in our work. This is something I have come to understand more and more throughout the years”.

How would you describe your client experience? 

“It is a unique, comfortable experience where communication, trust and a relaxed atmosphere predominate. I like to feel that my couples are relaxed, that they feel special for it being their big day, and above all, to support them in everything I can so that every moment of their wedding flows.”

How would you describe your photographic style?

“Born and raised in Hong Kong, whatever I capture through my viewfinder reflects my urban perspective. My past has significantly influenced my aesthetics, leading to a preference for editorial styles, the extensive use of low-key lighting, movements, and symmetrical compositions. While weddings may differ from the more controlled environments of editorial shoots, they offer numerous candid moments. I strive to embrace people and objects by presenting them in their best, yet honest, way.”

How would you describe your client experience?

“I don’t even send out my Packages & Pricing deck until I’ve met with a couple over Zoom! The human/emotional aspect of this work is absolutely critical to providing the best value to couples I work with and maintaining my inspiration as a photographer. It is really important to me that we feel like an energetic fit for one another first and foremost because, of all their wedding vendors, I will be right there with them throughout a profoundly important and special time in their life.”

How would you describe your photographic style? 

“Emotional growth within the art of photographing weddings involves evolving into not just a skilled technician but also an empathetic and emotionally intelligent storyteller. It’s a journey of self-discovery, forging connections with others, and capturing the profound emotional moments that render each wedding distinctive and unforgettable. These learning experiences are ongoing and perpetually evolving. I feel incredibly fortunate to be a part of this wonderful world.”

How would you describe your photographic style?

“I create timeless photographs that honor real-life and soulful moments. I focus on the perfectly imperfect, offbeat moments that make the viewer feel something and embrace the unknowns of the day while helping people feel relaxed in front of the camera. I photograph how it feels, not what it looks like. Inspiration comes from the people, the light, the surroundings, and the emotions, but most importantly, from being present.”

Website | Instagram

How would you describe your photographic style?

“On a typical wedding day, my style is mostly photojournalistic, involving changes in angles and perspectives to tell a more comprehensive story. However, I am in love with noir photography, neo-noir, and chiaroscuro aesthetics—the sense of mystery and the impressionistic approach of photography. I always search for these kinds of frames throughout the event. This style truly thrills my heart, and I feel grateful that I can express myself through it.”

Website | Instagram

How would you describe your photographic style?

“Something I consider a hallmark of my style is the significance of details; for me, they mean everything. From documenting the perfume the bride uses to the little chaos on the tables at dance time. I like to think that when the couple gets old and has grandchildren, they can go to the wedding archive and then run to the store and look for the same scent that her grandmother had when she said ‘I do’ to their grandfather. In the details, you realize how much love the couple put into their wedding, like the paper they chose for their invitations, the season, the venue—every single detail sets the course for the wedding. Because it’s all in the details.”

How would you describe your approach to post-production?

“I am always trying to reach the perfect result for my pictures. I want them to be timeless so that they can be seen in 50 years without being old fashioned. So, no big correction for me. I do not want to intervene too much. I just want to access a certain aesthetic (bright but not over-exposed, fresh and punchy, but especially not saturated, contrasted, but not hard). It is okay to see that time has passed, but I want them to keep their style and strength.”

How would you describe your client experience?
“From the very first meeting I have with my couple, I want them to see me as a friend, someone they feel completely comfortable with. I help them build their timelines and give advice on things like preparation, locations, and I also provide around 80 fully edited images as highlights within 72 hours of their wedding. I even go a step further and provide my couples with a little surprise in the way of same-day prints while they are in their reception—something they can see and share with all their guests. Even though I have other couples throughout the year, I want my couple on their wedding day to feel as if they are my only couple.”

How would you describe your photographic style?

“It’s real, a little bit documentary. I like to showcase my clients as the main heroes of their story in epic landscapes. A breathtaking place is never the most important; it’s always about the couple being there.”

How would you describe your photographic style?

“My photography style is deeply rooted in intentionality, capturing moments with an approach that blends the experimental elements of analog photography with an eye for unique perspectives. Shooting on film encourages me to be deliberate and thoughtful with every click of the shutter, allowing me to revel in experimentation.”

“My focus shifted towards a documentary style when I began second shooting for other photographers. I wanted to capture moments they couldn’t during posed portraits, so I started looking for candid opportunities. The first wedding I shot completely in a documentary style changed my mindset from trying to be a ‘creative’ photographer to becoming an intentional photographer.”

Website | Instagram

How would you describe your photographic style?

“I aim to maintain authenticity and honesty in my work, adopting a minimal approach in post-production and avoiding stiff posing. Simultaneously, I strive for a beautiful aesthetic reminiscent of magazine quality. It’s worth mentioning that I’m obsessed with the ’90s, particularly the supermodel era, and appreciate the approach of photographers like Peter Lindbergh and Jacques Oliver towards women. I frequently shoot with film, and given the choice, I’d prefer my film camera over the digital one at almost any moment. Can we say that I’m a modern wedding film photographer with an editorial approach?”

“This was a crucial moment: understanding that photographs are the key to my loved ones’ hearts and souls. That was my ‘why’—that mysterious thing I’ve been chasing for my first three years in business. Since that moment, I’ve felt more aligned than ever with my style, my clients, and the overall experience I’ve crafted. Knowing what I want to give my couples has made me grow and fueled my inner fire.”

How would you describe your photographic style?

“The essence of my style lies in the synergy between a documentary approach, where I seek and capture the emotion, human stories, humor, and overall significance of the event, combined with a visualization of the beautiful potential created by the light and the landscape. I intertwine both elements to provide a genuine, beautiful narrative of every wedding.”

How would you describe your photographic style?

“I want to be a friend they can trust and at the same time a professional photographer. The more work I put into my pre-wedding meetings, the more I am rewarded with amazing photos. My clients trust me, and my testimonials are quite positive. I am proud and thankful for that. During the shoot, I maintain a quiet presence. I provide instructions, but I also allow them to be free and express themselves. I prefer not to interrupt unless it’s necessary.”

“In 2021, I relocated from Nigeria to the United Kingdom because of family, starting all over again. That season was daunted with fears of the unknown. I had to leave everything behind to start anew in a new country with a new client base. I soon realized that principles are global while application will remain local. So, I began marketing myself to my new environment using social media and online blogs. I fine-tuned my work with all my learning to reflect the kind of brand I wanted new customers to perceive. The sacrifices and workshops paid off. From giving out free engagement sessions to lowballing my rates (something I would not advise anyone to do), I gained traction. After my very first wedding in April 2022, nothing remained the same anymore. For the first time in my career, I felt seen and appreciated. I could see it took time, but the sacrifices were worth it.”

“We would like to describe our growth in terms of how far we have pushed ourselves beyond our comfort level. We strongly believe that growth is a combination of self-learning and self-improvement. We have learned from our peers, from our own mistakes, and improved in areas where we felt we were lagging behind.”

How would you describe your photographic style?

“I would define it as a mix of classic elegance with modern creativity. I mostly use natural light, so the images have a soft and natural tone. I appreciate capturing moments and emotions, as well as emphasizing elegance and sophistication. My focus is on the couple, but I also pay attention to everything happening around them to provide more context to the wedding. I believe details are essential in my style.”

“Finding out what’s important to my clients is crucial for me. If their highest priority is to commit their lives to each other in a beautiful location, I’ll make sure to highlight the landscape for them. If their main focus is having a super private day, I’ll do everything I can to vet the location and recommend the perfect time of day to achieve that.

“I began my photography journey as a nature and landscape photographer. I found my true calling as a photographer when I discovered adventure elopements. Having eloped myself in 2019, I haven’t photographed a traditional wedding since. My most effective tools for growth have always been practice and intentionality. Each year, I strive to find new ways to challenge myself, leading to my best work yet.”

How would you describe your photographic style?

“I aim to capture a wedding day like someone’s personal romantic-comedy. I focus on photographing moments that tell a story and evoke a feeling, with nostalgia playing a significant role. My approach involves mainly creative candids, turning ordinary moments into art. Nothing is posed or forced—just magical snippets captured throughout the day to discover the love in the chaotic whirlwind of an event. My primary goal is to showcase the authentic side of my couples, as if no one was there with a camera, just a fly on the wall, watching over.”

How would you describe your photographic style?

“Nostalgia is my signature style, as I craft cinematic scenes that transport you back in time. In my photography, each frame serves as a portal to the past—a timeless moment frozen in the present. It’s not just about capturing images; it’s about preserving emotions and stories that transport you to the very essence of the moment. I draw inspiration from the elegance of movies, where every frame is carefully composed to narrate a powerful story.”

“I grasped the significance of open communication, setting the tone through sensory immersion, and tailoring my approach to resonate with each couple’s unique personality. Furthermore, my commitment to providing unparalleled experiences, such as surprising clients with Polaroid prints during the wedding breakfast, stands as a testament to my dedication. Reflecting on my journey, from the early days laden with gear to my current streamlined approach, I recognize that growth in wedding photography isn’t solely about accumulating equipment. It’s about refining one’s philosophy, honing skills, and consistently elevating the client experience.”
