​ " we can't thank rachel enough for " capturing our day so perfectly
editorial wedding photography has evolved in recent years
​
once, it was highly stylised work with links to fashion (think vogue) and fine art. you would expect to see very purposeful posing, as well as images that show movement or the use of direct flash to create a 'paparazzi' feel
​
these ideas are still present in editorial wedding photography, however, it tends to also echo the style of documentary wedding photography, a style that relies almost completely on no posing at all and simply capturing candids and naturally-occuring moments
​
​
what is
editorial wedding photography?
and i love this new hybrid of the two styles!
​​you don't want to turn your wedding into a photoshoot when you could be celebrating with the people you love​
​my approach gives you the best of both worlds
you can relax and enjoy your day, most of the time forgetting i'm even there! we'll have fun getting a bit creative at times, but it is mostly in my editing style where you see the high-end, artistic element that elevates your photos into beautiful keepsakes and lasting memories
