WEDDING PARTY PHOTOGRAPHY

By MY STYLE

There’s nothing better than a wedding party is there? Dancing the night away and enjoying yourself is what a wedding is all about!

COUNTRYSIDE WEDDING VENUE

I took this frame while at Dodford Manor in Northamptonshire. It’s a beautiful venue set in the heart of the countryside. As a photographer, it’s the perfect location. I love the sunsets there. It allows me to capture beautiful artistic photographs.

This image though, was taken after the sun went down. When the first dance is over, it’s time to boogie! This image depicts the bride and her bridesmaids having a great time together. If this was my friends and I, it would be one of my favourites. As soon as I saw them all together, I was straight over with my camera to make sure I captured the moment. I hope you love it! Give me some love below in the comments if you do! 

For photographers, this was photographed using a Sony a7 mklll, a Goddox flashgun.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AT BURGHLEY HOUSE

By MY STYLE

When I was asked to produce wedding photography at Burghley House I could hardly believe my luck! It is a simply breath-taking stately home. If you haven’t been, I urge you to go! Being asked to produce wedding photography in such beautiful locations is a real treat.

A STATELY HOME WEDDING

Wedding speeches are usually fun and I’m always poised in the viewfinder to capture all the laughter and joy. As a rule, I like to ensure that I have a great photograph of the speaker and of the bride and grooms reactions first a foremost. After this though, it’s playtime! It’s always important to watch the wedding guests and during the Bestman’s speech. More often than not, you’ll snap a pic similar to this! This is one of my fave unposed shots from this year. The two guests covering their faces are just priceless!

DODMOOR MANOR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

By VENUES + SUPPLIERS

I’m a big believer that Dodmoor Manor wedding photography is all about capturing the fun of a couples special day.

As a Northampton wedding photographer, my style is described by brides and grooms as reportage. I spend most of my day documenting all the wonderful moments that your wedding has to offer. 

AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS

So, documentary wedding photography is at the heart of my style. But it doesn’t mean that I won’t take the time to provide you with a couples shoot! I’d love to! Especially when you have the beautiful Dodford countryside to use. As a photographer working at Dodmoor Manor, it’s always a real treat. There are locations for photographs everywhere. It’s certainly a camera friendly barn wedding venue!

STONE BARN WEDDING VENUE

It’s not just about the amazing vistas that surround this wonderful reception venue that impress. It’s important to remember the stone barns and stunning courtyards too. They make amazing backdrops for your wedding ceremony. 

I have added some photographs I have taken at this venue below. I hope you love the style of my wedding photography. I’d love to be a part of your day. If you’d like to book me for your Dodmoor Manor barn wedding venue then please contact me for more information!

ARTISTIC WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY DODFORD MANOR

By MY STYLE

Here’s an image from a recent wedding at the beautiful Dodford Manor venue. Sarah and Paul had asked me prior to the day to try and capture a few artistic images. Both loved my reportage work, but wanted something that they could add to a frame and enjoy. They wanted something that wasn’t obviously a wedding photograph.

In the evening, we went outside in the rain and composed this photograph. It uses flash and coloured gels to achieve the effect. I love the colours and the rim light around the couple. I used blue and red as they are opposite sides of the colour wheel and so work together each other perfectly.

I was really pleased with this capture. I hope you love it too! Let me know what you think in the comments below.

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE MARQUEE WEDDING | MY STYLE

By MY STYLE

Here’s a wedding image from back in 2018. The bride and groom for this one were Louise and Rob. They had their special day in a marquee overlooking a reservoir in Northamptonshire.

BEAUTIFUL DETAILS

In the day, I’d noticed some beautiful festoon lights decorating the trees. I made a mental note to revisit them later in n the evening. So, as the sun disappeared, I took my Sony camera over to the trees. I tried out a few ways of framing the subject and settled on the photograph I was going to take. The light from the festoon lights was minimal, so I had to add some off camera flash to light the happy couple. Then it was just a question of posing and a nice moment. Louise and Rob kissed and the image came out perfectly!

This is actually an award winning shot! I was awarded a Masters Of Wedding Photography award for it which made me very proud. I actually photographed a wedding for a friend of Louise and Robs and won an award for one of their images too. Check it out here!

TRADITIONAL IRISH WEDDING

By MY STYLE

Back at the beginning of last year I made my way over County Mayo to photograph both a traditional Irish wedding and a traditional Persian wedding. I have worked in Ireland before and I was excited to go back there again!

DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY

This image was taken during the catholic wedding ceremony. Having seen one of the girls yawn and had grabbed a photo. However, not satisfied, I thought that if the little girl did the same and they both yawned, it would give the shot something extra! Waiting for a long as I could, camera poised, and my patience was rewarded with this composition.

Catholic weddings are long services. For kids, it can be tough to concentrate for that amount of time. This just tells that story. I’m always looking to tell stories like this on a wedding day. Most couples book me for my reportage work, so this is a good really good example of that. I love the rich colours of the edit on this one too! I hope you like it!

I travel all over the UK and Europe, so if you’re looking for a destination wedding photographer just drop me a line!
