No posed group after posed group, no shot list, no hour of your wedding spent standing in a field. I photograph what actually happens, and you get a day you remember rather than a day you performed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I shoot documentary, which means I spend the day close to what is happening and largely out of the way of it. You will get a handful of family groups because your mother will want them, done properly in fifteen minutes rather than an hour. Everything else is simply the day as it went.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t
