It’s not my day, it’s yours. I always recommend and I will always ask but I never force a couple to do anything they clearly don’t fancy. Each couple is different and most HATE having their photo taken. Sometimes it’s so important to be ‘seen but not heard’ and most importantly let the day flow naturally. Don’t get me wrong, I will take charge when I need to. I do shoot groups throughout the day and I will give couples direction if necessary, but I am not one to bark orders.
Full day coverage is a big thing for me in order for me to tell the whole story and give myself the best opportunity to capture as many as these lovely unique moments and grab some lovely portraits of the couple in the midst of that. One of my number one things is building a decent repour with my couples. If you feel comfortable with me then you are always going to be so much more willing to be yourselves in front of the camera, with less chance of feeling awkward.
I strongly believe that my relaxed style works well around most couples. My documentation approach allows the day to flow naturally, it allows you and your guests to be yourselves and it conserves the smallest of details. The style perfectly shows how vitally important I believe preserving these memories are and I always work tirelessly – making certain I never miss a moment.
‘Absolutely hands down the best decision we made before the big day was to have Kris as our photographer. So professional yet so relaxed and friendly, he really made it so incredibly special for us and our guests and I’ll always be so forever grateful to him for sharing and capturing our special day! Kris we love you!! Love always Rosie & Vinni’
‘We are over the moon with our photos and the service we received from Kris. He is relaxed in the way he works and is such a nice guy! We think it’s so important to get along with your photographer as you spend so much time with them on the day and we felt so comfortable considering we don’t really do “lovey-dovey” and he even managed to make us relaxed enough to not look rigid in the photos. We had great fun on the day!
Our photos are beautiful and we love them, they tell the story of our day and everything was captured in the perfect way. We love his style, the album we received is stunning also. We think Kris is great and would consider him a friend following our big day and afterward. If you are thinking about booking Kris then do it, you will not regret it! We cannot thank him enough!’
‘There are not enough words of praise!
Kris is so much more than a wedding photographer, from the very first meeting to every random one we had following that to organise all sorts of questions. He never once made us feel like too much trouble.
Midway through dinner when we asked Kris to photo our guests using the Lego we’d arranged as centre pieces, he dropped his cutlery and jumped straight up. Above and beyond would be an understatement.
Getting our photos back was one of the best feelings. There were moments I had never seen like my Dad practising his speech outside, to moments I never want to forget like the look of joy when we complete our first dance lift! Kris did not miss a thing!
If there was anything about the wedding I was sure of from the word go (other than Matt being my perfect match) it would be picking Kris as our photographer.’
