A skilled professional wedding photographer creates ‘instant nostalgia’. And for brides, grooms and photographers born in the 70s-90s, there’s nothing more nostalgic than faded photos with rich yet washed out colours.
You’ll maybe also notice a bit of Wes Anderson form and symmetry in this and many other photographs across my wedding photography portfolio. That’s deliberate! Read about my wedding photography visual aesthetic. But in short, especially for couples who freeze in front of the camera, I suggest simple poses like this. It looks like a classic editorial wedding photograph, but is just so easy for any couple to do - no matter how camera shy they are.
But the editorial and retro style isn’t just about how I pose couples. It’s also about the filter I apply to your wedding photographs. I offer clients a wide range of finishes on their images, from black and white to vintage, retro, 70s, Polaroid style images.
