LIGHTING
Our creative lighting Our experience of lighting with a strong fashion edge is what sets our photography apart from the rest and brings our images to life. Creative lighting creates drama and dynamism and can turn what looks like a mediocre shot into a beautiful, bold image. Our broad range of professional lighting kit covers all occasions and is completely portable, giving us total control and the freedom to be as creative as we like.
We had several photographers in mind for our wedding but it was the way James used lighting that convinced us to use fashionable Weddings. Paul & Jenny, Newport.
GROUP SHOTS
Our group shots Almost every couple who are getting married have a desired picture list. These are often group shots and although not something everyone wishes to cover on their day you still need them for Mum and Dad! We understand this and we have developed a unique lighting set up and creative approach to how we go about capturing this. we make it all fun and relaxed but the best about it is, the pictures don’t look out of place and still look editorial and modern.
Group shots in the past have tended to be the very formal and boring part of a wedding album. We try to make it quite the opposite and make them as engaging as the rest. James Nader
VIDEO
Video Our extensive experience in creative lighting end editorial photography gives us a creative edge over other videographers. We believe that your video should also be full of emotion and beautiful angles. We don’t use 3 cameras, lock them off on a tripod and shoot continually all day hoping to get the shot. We use our editorial knowledge with our video team the same as cameras, crop shots, detail shots, movement, happiness and emotions all captured in real time. We work hard to get the filmic look and go to great lengths to get that cinematic feel. We shoot on HIgh definition cameras and our editing is simple, contemporary and stylish and our creativity delivers a cinematic and timeless reminder of your own special day for you and your family.
I’m so glad I asked Fashionable Weddings to do our Video as well as our wedding photography. The video is so good I can’t stop watching it. Kelly Frost Cardiff
MEGAN & CHRIS
Megan & Chris Here is our selection of images which tells the story of Megan and Chris. Having had an initial consultation with this lovely couple, we started to formulate a vision of how the events would unfold and discussed our role in capturing them with striking images. We were given plenty of freedom to capture their day without being intrusive and impose our unique creative style whilst supplying the family with a number of ‘key’ shots. Every eventuality has to be allowed for and on this day it was the good old British weather. As you can see this didn’t stop us, in fact it helped us to create some fun, creative images.
Despite the awful weather James managed to capture the emotion and warmth of the day with some amazing photography. Megan & Chris, Newport.

EMMA & DAVE
Emma & Dave Emma and Dave were a joy to work with, they were very keen to give us complete freedom when it came to their photography. Like most couples, they had a list of ‘essential’ shots’ that they would like, but were very happy for us to put our own Fashionable Weddings twist on them. This is where our creative lighting came into it’s own adding style and character to images that could otherwise be run-of-the-mill. Our powerful range of lights can be used indoor and outdoor, with portable powerpacks giving us complete freedom.
Having met James, we knew that Fashionable Weddings were absolutely the right photographers for our wedding. Emma & Dave, Newport.

KATIE & DATHAN
Katie & Dathan Katie and Dathan had a lovely day at Le Manoir (owned by Raymond Blanc). They were extremely fortunate with the weather for most of the day. We think this was ordered by Raymond himself, as he put in an appearance during the day giving gifts to the wedding party. It is nice to know that when the weather changes for the worst that your wedding Photographers have a full repertoire of lighting techniques to help get your shot. When it rains we never shy away and on Dathan and Katies day the rain didn’t stop play. The shots clearly show we know how to handle it!
James assured us that the predicted bad weather would not spoil our photography. His creativity and determination saw to that. Katie & Dathan, Oxford.

WENDY & CHAD
Wendy & Chad Wendy and Chad had a beautiful day at Weston park and opted for our high society photography collection. This was a full on day from morning until late into the night. We captured a range of editorial, group and reportage shots. We spent time creating the planned fashion shots in and around the house. The final shots were all from our Paparazzi Event photography were we captured everyone at the evening hog roast for a separate album. The high society package covers most of what we do at fashionable weddings and is our most in depth service.
We got married in a beautiful Manor House and James managed to capture every detail on the day, it was perfect. Wendy & Chad, Birmingham.

Eleanor and Chris
Eleanor & Roger Eleanor and Chris were great to work with, they came to us with some specific ideas of shots that they wanted to try and get from the day. Chris was starting the day on the golf course with Dad and best man and wanted something a little different and lighthearted taken from that. Of course we were more than happy to oblige and took our fully portable lighting rig down to the course with some fabulous results. Eleanor and Roger decided that our Dolce Vita collection was right for them, but as they were all so kind we added a montaged image into their collection for them to cherish.
