Wedding photographer Haslemere area Sussex

Wedding photography should be about telling a story. Our natural style is relaxed and unobtrusive which allows us to capture all the little moments that make a wedding day special - and that you will want to relive in future years. Someone recently looked at one of our wedding books and when she reached the last page, she said ‘I felt like I was there’. There is no way that we could have put it better ourselves.

To achieve this we use a mixture of contemporary wedding portraiture, which is designed to give you a record of the occasion, and documentary photography, where the people in the picture are just observed and not directed. This requires the photographer to be unobtrusive and react quickly to catch - in a natural way - the fleeting moments that are so important to this story telling, Speed and spontaneity are important – things happen quickly at weddings.  This is the part we enjoy most! Some groups are important, but we understand that people don’t like to be kept hanging around and we don’t want to spoil everyone’s enjoyment of the occasion! We are not great fans of gimmicky poses or elaborately staged shots – after all this is a special day, not a fashion ‘shoot’!

As a husband and wife team, we bring different skills, and it’s always great to be part of a wonderful party! Louise is a gregarious Australian, who is particularly good with people.  Guests do sometimes have to be organised for Peter to get the right shots. Wedding photography is often described as ‘portraiture at a gallop’ and this is where Peter and Louise work closely together. As ‘second camera’, Louise also brings the bride’s perspective and ‘feminine touch’ to our photographs too.

Peter has had a lifelong passion for photography and takes a free-flowing, artistic approach to wedding photography. Digital photography creates the opportunity to capture so many aspects of a wedding in a spontaneous way.
