Documentary Wedding Photography and Film Presentation

So how do you want to remember your wedding?

This is an age old question I have to ask all of my clients because I’m a very creative soul and can show your wedding to you in so many different ways.

My most popular service is when couples book me for their wedding is to commission me to create a hybrid documentary wedding film, which is designed using a perfect blend of both photography and video.

It’s a bit like having a slideshow that comes to life with video as well.

You know what, I made a showcase hybrid film to show you what it means…

Hybrid documentary wedding film with both photography and video.

I use a variety of effects on the occasional bit of footage as you’ll notice when watching the film. This is always used sparingly and only done for special effects to enhance a particular part of the story. I have a real knack for choosing the right music to lead the films and usually spend pretty much an entire day searching for just music when working on one. I thought it would be worth me adding that in there because my clients only ever really see me at the wedding. Then I settle down in my studio to spend the next week working on your wedding. YES, I spend about a week on each wedding. So maybe you can appreciate why weddings are expensive. I don’t just turn up and then your artwork magically appears! Sometimes I wish it would but if the truth be known, I actually love the entire process and it gives me such a buzz when I see the reaction from my couples.

Documentary Wedding Photography 2022

Unique Documentary Wedding Photographer

I started shooting weddings back in 2014, just 2 years after turning professional but when Covid hit us in 2020, I stopped and began making jigsaw puzzles from the landscape around Leicestershire, which served me well for the past few years but now the world is opening back up again, I’ve started shooting weddings again and I’ve already had 5 bookings for this year and shot two of them already!
I have made a short film highlighting some of my favourite photographs from the weddings I’ve done over the years. You’ll see that my style is very different to the standard wedding photographer because I don’t focus on the posed photographs. I find them dull and boring. They only tell you who was stood in a line looking at the camera and there’s no story to it. When I deliver my wedding photographs to my clients, they always love the natural ones and find more joy in looking back at those real moments.

So that’s what I do, I focus on the fun element of your wedding.

The Wedding Film of Darren and Naomi Cornwall

Documentary Wedding Film.

The Wedding of Darren and Naomi Cornwall.

Naomi and Des both finally got married on Friday August 6th 2021 but they’re journey started much earlier back in 2019 when they chose to book me to create their memories for them. They planned to get married at a gorgeous mansion in the midst of the Cornwall countryside in 2020. I’m sure you can guess what turned up to spoil their plans. What happened was they were given another chance to realign their wedding more with their own values and came up with the wedding of the century.
I very happily took the challenge on with honour. I say challenge because if you’re not challenging yourself, you’re not pushing the boundaries and that for me is where the art lies, beyond the boundary.
Darren and Naomi gave me full trust from the beginning, which is all I need to be able to create something they can really enjoy remembering their wedding day. I mean let’s face it, it might not have been easy to remember all of it. These amazing pair didn’t go for the traditional Church and Reception do, Oh No!
They wanted a wedding festival and the effort they put in to designing what was by far my favourite ever wedding, was incredible. Most of their friends and family joined in with helping to create the wedding, a gigantic collaboration of their favourite people.
Anyway, don’t waste any more time listening to me waffle on about how great it was, have a look for yourself.

Ps/ This latest film might just have inspired me to start doing weddings again!
