For many years now its become increasingly fashionable to have more ‘Relaxed’ Weddings, and we’ve seen more & more Photographers promoting themselves as ‘Documentary’ or even ‘Reportage’ in style
Reportage means EXACTLY the same as Documentary btw, they just charge more! lol
The TRUTH is – ALL Weddings in the Digital era are 90% or more ‘Relaxed’, by which I mean we record what’s happening without direction or any input at all for most of the time
Of course many couples still want a few Group Photos and almost all of them want a quiet session as the newlyweds, showing their love, or just creating some fun & arty photos
Here though – nope!
John & Andrew didn’t want any of that nonsense!
They just wanted an as-it-happens record of their lovely outdoor Wedding at the stunning location that is New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel, Ambleside
This level of ‘Relaxed’ meant that this Lancaster Wedding Photographer was free to just stroll around photographing whatever happened, as it happened, with total freedom to tell their Wedding story
What made John & Andrew’s Wedding even more different was that they had a friends & family gathering the night before, that they also wanted photographing. So unusually I was with them over 2 days
Anyway, enough chat, let’s just straight into the photos – natural, unposed, not even a couple’s session!
