Family Photography
Family life isn't neat and tidy. Everyone doesn't always look prim and proper, you don't always stand in a line smiling sweetly. Family life is playful, it's disorganised; it's about laughing from your gut and seeing magic in the mundane. Family life isn't perfect. It's so much more than that. Capture the memory, not the fairytale.

Documentary Wedding Photography & Videography
Candid, documentary style wedding photographers and videographers, shooting London, across the UK and worldwide.
Memories are not about look, they're about feel; the feeling of being surrounded by everyone you know and love, in one room at one time, with no other motive than to celebrate and enjoy. It's that feeling that guides our photography, that ensures that no two weddings can ever be the same. Because weddings are a celebration not just of two people but of a family, of a community. And to us there can be no more compelling subject to photograph and film.
What Is Documentary Wedding Photography?

Whilst all wedding photographers shoot parts of the day unposed, the documentary wedding photographer specialises in seeing beyond the obvious action, finding the potential in the smallest detail and knowing where to be in order for unpredictable, spontaneous events to take place right in front of them. Whilst all those big, wonderful, pre-planned moments (the rings, confetti, the first dance) will of course be captured, we also look to find the magic and beauty in the unplanned, ambiguous scenes - the scenes of people being people: real, raw, humorous and characterful.

“The solemn moment has come …” the wedding ceremony may be a serious commitment but, as this little flower girl definitely knew, “solemn” doesn’t quite sum up the joy of the occasion or the beautiful balance of a wedding – love, tradition, laughter and humanity.

NOTHING POSED, NOTHING STAGED
THEY ARE INCREDIBLY PASSIONATE ABOUT SHOOTING WITH A TRUE DOCUMENTARY EYE. NOTHING IS STAGED OR POSED BUT STILL VERY INTENTIONAL AND CRAFTED. THEY OFTEN SHOOT WIDE AND USE LAYERS TO BUILD A SCENE AND RELAY A RICH NARRATIVE WITHIN EACH FRAME
