I have always loved photography.
I think it stems back to when I was a kid and my dad would get the camera out on the weekend to try and create "memories".
Of course the early 90's and three children meant it was absolute chaos to try and keep us still long enough for the older film cameras. Some of them turned out alright though. Flashforward a couple of decades and I am doing the same with my own children. And well... Weddings....Because who doesn’t love a wedding!?
I used to be a guest to most of them, but with a half decent camera and a bit of an "eye". I couldn't go where the main photographers were but the fly-on-the-wall, documentary style photos that I produced seem to strike a nerve. Moments otherwise missed. A few even said I should probably do this for a living…
So here we are and with the same approach I still take to them now. That subtle tear from the usually stoic dad; the admiration across the room from your proud nan and the smile from a teenager who hasnt been in a family photo for 2 years because it wasn’t cool. Yeah sure, we'll line everyone up and take a few of the normal posed photos but that genuine smile, genuine laugh and that genuine tear is what I am all about.
So if you'd like me to capture those moments from your day, get in touch using one of the many links dotted around this website.
Look forward to hearing back.
Sincerely,
Chris
