Honouring the shape of your day

The most solemn parts of the service are photographed carefully and without disturbance. We work quietly during the service, mindful that some churches restrict where a photographer may stand. The readings and the hymns each have their place, and we photograph them as they happen.

We capture the guests and the family moments, not just the couple. We capture the receiving line, when the couple greet their guests one by one, with warmth. We photograph the couple's arrival at the reception, whether by car, on foot or in something grander.

The whole celebration

Planning your wedding day in Thatcham

Some couples like a first look before the ceremony; others prefer to wait for the aisle, and we plan for either. Many weddings begin with bridal preparation, the dress and details, while the groom and party get ready nearby.

We stay through the evening to capture the reception, from the first dance to the last guest. Whether the ceremony and reception share a venue or are a short journey apart, we plan for it.
