Berkshire

Wedding photographer in Berkshire

I photograph weddings across the Home Counties, including Berkshire, with a mainly natural approach and clear direction when it is useful.

The approach

People doing something, not performing for the camera

The photographs I am drawn to most are usually the ones where people are doing something rather than performing for the camera. Walking, laughing, talking, reacting to the ceremony, confetti, the dance floor and the quieter interactions happening around the obvious moments.

That does not mean I leave everything to chance. If the photograph will be better because I move you into stronger light, I will move you. If you are unsure what to do at the beginning, I will give you somewhere to start. If there is a large family group that needs organising, I will organise it properly. Then, once the photograph is working, I prefer to step back.

Where possible, I arrive early enough to understand the venue before I need to use it. The weddings currently featured on my site were photographed in Buckinghamshire, so if your Berkshire venue is new to me, I will be clear about that.

Coverage and cost

Flexible hours for weddings that are not standard full days

Coverage starts from £80 per hour, with discounted rates available for longer bookings. I photograph full wedding days, shorter coverage, civil ceremonies, elopements and engagement sessions.

That flexibility is useful for weddings that do not fit a standard full-day package. A smaller civil ceremony may only need a few hours. A larger wedding may need coverage from preparations through to the evening.

If you are planning a wedding in Berkshire, Reading or Slough, send me your date, venue and a rough idea of what you want photographed. If you are not sure how many hours you need, I can help you work that out from the structure of the day.
