Documentary Photography Style?
So why is our chosen photography style reportage?... Because moments matter most. Our brides and grooms over the years have chosen us as the photographer who will catch all your memories. Your Dad’s tears, those dancefloor ‘moves’ and glances of embarrassment during speeches. It’s not only the ‘big’ moments that are important for us to capture. Just as important are the quiet, ‘in-between’ moments, too.
It's so important to Stories Of I Do that the natural course of the wedding day takes place. We love using our moment-catching skills to capture humour, fun and human interaction. Its moments like these that we look for at every wedding. The hugs, tears, kisses, laughter, even the simple touch of the hand. The majority of the day is captured with nothing staged, no poses, pure, natural images.
