What is Documentary Style Weddings?

A Documentary wedding photographer is often referred to as “reportage wedding photographer” or “wedding photojournalist” however essentially, they all refer to the same thing - an observational approach to photographing a wedding. Simply put, I photograph the most important day of your life, with as little involvement in the proceedings of the day, allowing you to enjoy your day with your family and friends.

It’s all in the detail……There will be lots of special touches that reflect your individual personalities and experiences which you will want captured, that add the detail to your story. You will have taken time to choose the flowers, shoes, table settings and as a documentary wedding photographer I’m there to tell your story through beautiful images finding ways to incorporate those little details within your wedding photographs.

Documentary style wedding photography records very genuine, authentic moments occurring naturally throughout the day. Cap-

You carefully chose the setting for your wedding, be it a hotel, marquee, church, registry, outside in a garden and these will be

essential images that hold your photographs together.

Time will be set aside for the formal portrait sessions with the Bride, Groom and wedding party, the photos your parents or grandparents love. This time is special and you will not be kept away from your guests for very long, but these photos will be an absolute treasure.

"I'm getting married in the morning...

The coverage of your special day, starts when you start getting ready, from the time the Hair & Makeup Artists begin styling you and your Bridesmaids. This give me the opportunity to capture the details, your dress, the rings, the shoes and also to start documenting your day.

I will also spend some time with your Partner or the Groom and capture details around them getting ready.

Before you head off to the church or registery, we will capture some bridal portraits with you and your bridesmaids.

...ding dong the bells are going to chime."

I will follow you to the location where you will be getting married and document the process leading up to walking down the aisle.

Urban Weddings

You can get married in whatever way you please - whether for you that means hiring a huge castle in the countryside , finding a field in the middle of nowhere and DIYing the hell out of your decor or an intimate ceremony, followed by a stroll around the city streets.

If your style is more Urban Chic, rather than countryside, then look no further. We can create the non-traditional wedding photos together. From the streets of your City to an abandon warehouse, we can style and design your wedding portraits to suit your personality.

Life is short, tomorrow is not promised...Carpe Diem!

Call now to book your consultation.

Bridal Portraits

“Beauty is not in the face,

Beauty is the light in the heart."

–KAHLIL GIBRAN Once your hair and makeup has been completed and your are all dress and ready, we will spend a short time capturing your beauty, and your dress. A varitety of portraits to capture and showcase how incredible you look and feel. This can be in your home, in your room at the Hotel or out on Location.

Even if you are running late (which is part of the tradition) be sure to factor in some time to capture Bridal Portraits, you alone, as well as with your Bridesmaids.

I offer, to any Bride (not originally photographed by me) who don't like their wedding photos, to either come to me in Studio with your wedding dress or we can go out on Location in a Manor house or venue of your choice and redo your Bridal portraits, this time with me as your photographer.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER “Today's passion, tomorrows memories, timeless moments.”

-VIV COURT

I've been a photographer for over 25 years, starting out on film and learning my skill through trial and error and a truck load of film.

I still have all my film cameras and offer the option of Black & White film photography on your special day.

A wedding ceremony is the ultimate expression of true love, for me there is no greater pleasure then documenting the start of a couples journey together.

I combine documentary, journalistic style of photography, with some guided posing for groups and during your private couples session, to provide you with timeles, heirloom memories.

“Capturing your special moments & making them timeless.”
