⚡WHY CHASING ALGORITHMS, TRENDS & THE LATEST SOCIA ⚡WHY CHASING ALGORITHMS, TRENDS & THE LATEST SOCIAL MEDIA PUSHED STYLES ARE NOT FOR ME⚡

I'm sorry guys, I wish I had the energy to care about every new trend and style that seems to dominate this industry at the moment, but I simply don't. I need to use this platform to find my clients, but I can't force myself to try and chase what is popular on here and 'on trend' right now when I think it really compromises my ability to capture your day authentically, so I am not going to do so and here is why...

I am tired. I'm tired of the constant battle chasing the 'gram algorithms. I'm tired of the constant selling of style over substance in this industry. I'm tired of the anxiety I keep hearing from couples who are feeling so overwhelmed due to the constant pressure to have an 'Instagram worthy wedding' that it's robbing them of the joy they should be feeling.

Now don't misunderstand me, I love Instagram, it's a wonderful platform in so many ways and it's a great place to connect, find ideas and be inspired BUT it far too often becomes a pressure - for both couples and photographers alike - making you feel that a wedding has to look and feel a certain way purely because that happens to be trending

I entered this industry because it was a natural progression from my background of photographing events and people, but I am staying because it's an amazing privilege being trusted to capture a day when you see people often at their most unguarded, emotional, joyful and vulnerable. I want to protect that for myself and for people getting married, the authenticity of YOU, not a trend that was never about you in the first place.

All I have ever desired is for every single one of my couples to get their galleries and say 'yeah, that's how it felt, you have captured our day exactly how we remember it' and that desire still drives me to this day. Honest, candid, joy filled and real photography that is about YOU and yours, not what Instagram or the internet told you is important, and not because some trending style is making you feel inadequate. I'm going to keep doing that and I hope enough people value that so I can keep feeding my cats 😂

Wedding Photo Trends? Fuck 'em.
MOLLY⚡MYLES PTOWN SMACKDOWN AS MYLES & MOLLY DO T MOLLY⚡MYLES

PTOWN SMACKDOWN AS MYLES & MOLLY DO THE MIGHTY DEED! What a BANGER of a wedding with my lovely awesome mates Molly & Myles, two LEGENDS of the Ptown pub scene, and two people who I have had the boozy joy of getting to know in our shared favourite bar BOTTLE & BOARD! 

The gorgeous Haycock Manor Hotel was the venue as this total unique day kicked off with some hilarious morning antics, the boob Olympics, some questionable hand gestures and a bucketful of happiness as Myles & Molly FINALY  tied the knot and did the mighty deed! The whole day went in a blur of booze, laughs, mischief, the longest speeches known to man and then finally a KICK ASS PARTY to end it all on a high! WHAT A DAY AND WHAT A WEDDING ❤️ 

THANK YOU MYLES & MOLLY FOR TRUSTIMNG ME WITH YOU DAY - I LOVE YOU BOTH ❤ here are a few personal highlights from a fantastic wedding with two of my favourite humans 😊

JAMES⚡EMMA THE BAILEYS BRINGING SASSY AUTUMN VIBE JAMES⚡EMMA

THE BAILEYS BRINGING SASSY AUTUMN VIBES ALIVE AT SWYNFORD MANOR!! Emma & James you total LEGENDS - what a fantastic wedding day at the ever stunning Swynford Manor - just look at those incredible colours AND look at those lovely smiley faces! I had a blast with James & Emma, they didn't stop laughing all day, and the jokes, the bridal party nicknames (Plateface, BIG Z, LITTLE D, Pramface & Horndog) kept a chuckle in my mouth from morning prep until I left for home! IT WAS A BANGER 📸

Emma & James sent me some lovely words as well...

''You absolute legend.... This is why you're the best in the business. Totally blown away and that's just a preview 🥹 We are over the moon and reliving Saturday all over again, thank you so much ♥''

THANK YOU EMMA & JAMES ❤ here are a few personal highlights from a fantastic wedding with two lovely humans 😊

ROXY⚡JONNY BASSMEAD MANOR BARNS AUTUMN BANGER!! W ROXY⚡JONNY

BASSMEAD MANOR BARNS AUTUMN BANGER!! What a day with the hilarious Roxy & Jonny, who I met at a wedding fair and bonded with instantly, at the always stunning Bassmead Manor (especially in Autumn - wow)! The laughs and joy were on show all day, very much helped by some bridesmaid mischief, and also the pretty obvious amazing relationship that Jonny & Roxy have with each other - LEGENDS! They sent me some lovely words as well...

''Dan the man! We met Danny at a wedding fair and knew we didn’t need to look any further. From start to finish, everything’s been made so easy and simple. Our day was captured so subtly and beautifully, filled with love and laughter and the odd naughty bridesmaid!
 
Our expectations of our wedding photos have been absolutely exceeded and we’re so thankful for what you’ve been able to produce - they’re just absolutely stunning!
You’re truly amazing at what you do and an all round legend!''

THANK YOU JONNY & ROXY ❤️ here are a few personal highlights from a brilliant wedding with two AMAZING humans 😊
