One of the most important decisions a couple can make when planning their wedding day, apart from luxury wedding invitations, is which wedding photographer to use. Wedding photographers vary greatly, and not just on their costs. And the most popular can get booked up as far in advance as the most popular venues.
The style of photography can help style your
whole day. Formal or relaxed, it all needs researching and ensuring you are conformable
in the company of your photographer, after all you need to be confident and relaxed
in their presence to get the right feel of the wedding day. Couples need to be
able to look back on their big day and remember it in a way they want to, for
years to come.
So here at The Letter Press we decided to
find the best and varied wedding photographers out there and as there are quite
a few, we decided to concentrate around our own area, The beautiful Cotswolds.
We hope you find the style you’re looking for
amongst these great wedding images, or at least inspire your very own wedding
day. We hope you find the inspiration you’re looking for, we certainly loved looking
at them all.
A wedding photographer for the stylish, qualified with the Guild of Photographers, Louise’s images really do build upon the great wedding venue’s around the Cotswolds and also the fabulous countryside. Formal shots are interspersed with more relaxed images highlighting the fun great wedding days can bring, to all guests.
Maggie aims to tell the story of your wedding
day in a contemporary style with beautiful images. She wants to catch the
emotional connection between the wedding couples and from the images she has on
her website it doesn’t stop there. Bridesmaids and Page Boys feature highly and
as they have a relaxed feel they really do capture the happy moments a wedding
day has to offer.
Shane quite rightly ensures you know he’s
been UK top ten Wedding Photographer for 2 years running by the Guild of
Photographers. He aims to give your wedding fabulous
pictures by capturing the best moments all with a touch of artistry. There’s a
real mix of styles on his website, from contemporary formal, utilising the
environment to it’s best, but also some great informal shots, capturing the personality
of the big day.
Not only does Simon Young take great
wedding shots he also teaches photography and coaches other professional photographers
and is a judge and member of the Guild of Wedding photographers. He seems to thoroughly
enjoy his job and the personal relationship between him and the wedding couple
and their friends and family is seen as a very important part of the day.
Dan states he specialises in wedding
photography both within the UK and abroad. He believes capturing images that
are truthful, beautiful, unobtrusive, and often infused with a touch of
personality is the recipe to wonderful wedding photography. He says he really
loves what he does and spends a lot of time refining and perfecting his images.
And it looks like he does too.
Photographing your wedding day is more
than a job; its a privilege, Jon states. He aims to tell your story
through breath-taking documentary style images so that, once your wedding day
has been and gone, you can still relive the love, excitement and
little details of your special day, time and time again. His wife can also film
your wedding as well.
Suzi states she’s really passionate
about not just photography but also art and design and this shows from her
shots. They are beautifully composed, aiming to get the personality and style
of the event itself through the shots for the big day. Very stylish but with a
personal touch.
Meagn is a young photographer with less
experience than the others and also not really based in the Cotswolds but she’s
been the photographer for many Cotswold based wedding and her style is very
stylish and very informal but with the emphasis always on style.
Rob states he works in a
relaxed and informal style to ensure the true beauty of your wedding day shines
through. The examples on his website certainly reflect this as all the wedding
look great fun and his use of filters and composition certainly make his images
stand out from the crowd.
Some very beautiful and stylish images
that really capture the personal moments during a wedding, especially between
the wedding couple themselves. Originally an architecture photographer she now
works with wedding couples as she finds them far more interesting! Plus it’s
this focus on the couples themselves which sets her shots apart from many
others.
Researching wedding photographers and
their images is so much easier with the internet. You can see a vast array of
styles and approaches from the comfort of your own home, but it doesn’t all
revolve around the internet. Getting on with your photographer and ensuring they
also have the right personality to get on with you, your elderly relatives and
children alike is critical to getting the best out of all your memories, so
make sure you meet with your photographer as well.
So, make sure your wifi is working, some of the images take awhile to download on Cotswold broadband, put the kettle on and prepare to be inspired and get the right contacts to remember your big day just how you want it to be remembered. And don’t forget your luxury wedding stationery and invitations from The Letter Press of Cirencester!
