2013 Wedding Story

slideshows

March 31, 2014 by Kevin Morris

8 years into this full time photography lark and I am still learning ! It might sound like a cliché, but every wedding IS different and each couple have their own ideas & personalities which hopefully come across in my images. With each wedding comes new challenges, sometime new venues, and even new friendships but one thing that hasn’t really changed is my photographic style. Mainly documentary, but with a few “informal” posed shots…and yes….I still do the family shots !
Watch out shortly for some new album selections, as well as regular updates & sneak peaks throughout the year. 2014 is nearly fully booked out with just a few select dates available in November & December.
See attached slideshow for a selection of images from 2013 (mainly !) – if you like my style feel free to give me a shout, or, if you know someone tying the knot who might be interested feel free to share. Hope you enjoy the show (watch in HD for best results & big thanks to the multi talented and all round good egg Corin Bishop for the soundtrack !).

Having gone through the details, and some bride & groom portraiture, it’s now time to have a look at those “moments”. Those moments that no-one notices, or that go in the blink of an eye, immortalized by a split second photograph.  Capturing your guests & family and their personalities, Sometimes thought provoking, perhaps romantic, occasionally cute,  but most of the time just plain funny, these are the type of images that I love.

I like to think that the main photos of the happy couple, their bridal party, families & friends are the cornerstones of wedding photography but the “moments” (or reportage images) are the mortar that holds them together, building up a full and detailed account of the day, not just in poses, but in atmosphere, in fun, in laughs…….in moments. These are the images that are not posed, but reflect the day in little glimpses.

Most of these images are from 2013, but I couldn’t help but add in a few all time favorites.

Hope you enjoy. (Just click on the play icon on the bottom right to start the show)

For my second blog of 2014 I thought I would shine some light on my views on wedding couple photography.  Most couples these days, while wanting top quality photos, wish to spend as much time as possible with their guests, so, before the day, I draft up a “plan” for timings and maybe locations if appropriate, and also a “wet weather” plan so, on the day the photos go as smoothly as possible with little or no time lost. Rather than overly pose couples, I prefer to keep my distance and, if applicable, incorporate as much of the landscape / hotel grounds into the images. I also move in close for maybe 2/3 photos but keep these to a minimum (unless specific requests have been made).

For most couples about 30 mins on the day is plenty for couple photography and I tend to split this up into 2 sessions – the first on location or in the hotel grounds and the second session just before the meal is called for . This always proves very popular with couples as it gives them a chance to catch their breath and spend some quiet time together.

See attached slideshow of a selection of couple shots from 2013 – just a small collection from various weddings throughout  the year .

As my style is mainly reportage and capturing the day unobtrusively I often get asked if I do the “detail shots”…..you know, the shoes, the dress, the flowers etc. These are all part of the day, the  individual touches, the stunning dresses & the killer shoes, the hand crafted bouquets and carefully thought out table plans, and therefore form part of the story of the day, so I make sure to set aside some time to capture what I can. See attached for a small cross section of “detail” shots taken mainly from 2013 shoots, with a few oldies but goldies thrown in for good measure !

One of the regular questions I get asked is if I take the “family” shots.  Yes, I love documentary photography, and no, I’m not a big fan of overly posed images…….but I’m a big fan of balance. So, while I take some shots of the fun during the preparations, I don’t forget the shoes & the dress, and whereas I prefer to direct rather than pose couples, I still try to get some “timeless” bride and groom images, and yes, I do get the all important “family” shots, but I don’t drag out the whole affair till everyone has a pain in their face ! As I said, it’s all about balance, and delivering a selection of images to each couple which represents an accurate reflection of their big day both posed & unposed.

Check out the attached slideshow with a selection of images, some documentary and some (slightly) posed.

Unfortunately, due to a rather busy summer season I have neglected the blog & updates etc. So, I have a selection of images from some of my summer weddings. This is by no means a “best of” or a “top 30” just a few images which show my style (and the bride & grooms style !!) and how it can be adapted to your wedding. From detail shots, informal portraits, documentary and even a few “semi” traditional pics thrown in. Hope you enjoy – just hit the play icon at the bottom right to set the show off.

Thanks

Kevin
