The Big Day
Slapton Manor Wedding Photography
Jo & Dan
It’s truly delightful when someone within the wedding sector places their confidence in you to capture their special day. Jo, hailing from Slapton Manor, reached out to me quite some time ago, requesting my signature approach of candid wedding photography for her incredible day. And what a remarkable day it turned out to be! Exquisite floral arrangements adorned every nook of the church and reception venue, while an aura of serene beauty and joyful energy permeated the entire day. It was an absolute honour to play a role in such an important experience!
None Posed Wedding Photography
I had the pleasure of meeting Jo and Dan during their pre-wedding photoshoot and immediately noticed their genuine comfort in front of the camera. This is quite a rarity, I must admit. It’s worth noting that Jo and Dan are not necessarily the type to strike posed poses (although that would be perfectly alright too); rather, they exuded a remarkable ease with the entire process. In my line of work, I regularly capture couples who might feel a bit apprehensive about being photographed. Regardless of your initial feelings about it, there’s truly nothing to be concerned about.
Time and again, I’ve witnessed couples being pleasantly surprised by how effortless and painless the experience can be. Sometimes, a simple stroll and casual conversation can yield incredibly authentic outcomes. The movement naturally distracts from any unease, while the conversations often evoke genuine and delightful reactions – it’s as simple as that! The goal isn’t to make it cringe-worthy (I personally despise anything forced or awkward!), nor does it require intricate posing. Just being yourselves, as the wonderful couple you are, is more than enough to capture beautiful moments.
