A Year in the Life of a Wedding Photographer ~ Capturing Love across Devon
A year in the life of a wedding photographer
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a wedding photographer? Well, in my opinion, it’s one of the best jobs in the world! Each week I get to be with people who are happy and celebrating and the positive vibes cant help but rub off. I always go home at the end of the day on a high. Let me take you behind the scenes of a year in wedding photography and share why I love what I do…
Beyond the big moments
Photographing a wedding is so much more than capturing the ceremony and newlywed portraits. Alongside these key moments, I’ll capture all the moments in between that you might miss on the day. The best wedding photographers know exactly when these in between moments are going to happen. Over the last 10 years, I’ve become an expert in anticipating those special hugs, smiles and giggles that all come together to tell the story of your day.
Balancing expertise and personal attention
Being a wedding photographer is my full time job so I can offer a quick turnaround to give my clients a great experience. I know you’ll be excited to see your photos so I’ll share a sneak peek in just 48 hours. I really enjoy editing all the photos and using my technical expertise to make sure each one is perfect. They are then delivered in a beautiful online gallery ready for you to relive your day and spot all of the little moments you might have missed. Every couple deserves a photographer who truly cares about their day. Over a typical year, I shoot about 25 weddings ~ that means 25 couples are trusting me with their memories. That’s why I prefer to keep to this number so that each and every wedding can have my full attention and creative energy.
Weddings through the seasons
It’s lovey to see the seasons change as I photograph my way through the year. In the spring, I’m always on the lookout for blossom trees, daffodils and bluebells. Summer brings golden fields and the chance to capture candid photos of the guests as they mingle outdoors. When I think of autumn and winter weddings, I think of twinkly lights and open fires. Whatever the time of year, I’ll be scouting our the perfect spot for your couple photos. Golden hour is always a bonus!
Showcasing Devon’s best wedding venues
Another great thing about being a Devon wedding photographer is that I get to travel to some lovely places. I’ve battled with my sat-nav many a time as it tries to take me down country lanes! I would always recommend doing a recce before the big day so you know exactly how to get there. I’ve recently visited some gorgeous new venues including Upton Barn and Walled Garden, The Oak Barn Hittisleigh and The Barn at South Milton. As a recommended supplier, I also get to return to some favourite venues including Rockbeare Manor and Deer Park. It’s also lovely to meet the teams and wedding suppliers who do an amazing job to create your perfect wedding day. I’m also lucky enough to shoot weddings at some of the best wedding venues in Exeter, including castles, country barns and manor houses. It’s always exciting to visit new venues like Froginwell Vineyard and Powderham Castle and returning regularly to some of the most popular venues means I know the best spots for your relaxed couple photos.
Looking Ahead to Your Big Day
Every wedding is a new adventure, and I can’t wait to help tell your story. I aim to give all my couples the best wedding photography experience. Whether you’re planning a springtime celebration or a cozy winter wedding, I’ll be there to capture the magic of your day.
You have managed to capture so many special moments and the photos will be something we look back on for years to come!
