About ALLEN
My name is Allen...
Ok I love motorcycles, cycling and coffee.
But my Passion is photography
By good fortune (and not a little hard work) I've been able to do what I love as my business.
I love the look and feel and character of film photography and whilst these days digital has too many advantages not to use I use specialised cameras and lenses that give images that look like film.
I'm hooked on weddings...
My Wedding Photography Explained..
More than just a Wedding Photographer....
A creator of magical images that capture the soul of your wedding in a timeless set of photos with the "feel" of the beautiful film photos of the 60's
Your Choice
Spend Lots of Time With Your Photographer
or
Just Enjoy Your Wedding and Trust Me to Get All Those Magical Photos That You'll Love..
I know what I'm good at....
Being in the right place at the right time ready for whatever comes next.
Be that the hairdresser spraying hairspray, kids giving you the "look", or that stolen kiss.
These moments are what makes your wedding unique together with everything you've planned and dreamed of.
Then there's the "Style"...
I've spent many years (and not a little money) getting the cameras and lenses that give me the "look" I want. Cameras like the Leica M10 - a true icon that originated back in 1954. Lenses like the magical Nikon 58G lens that is now a collectors piece.
Then there's the editing where I've created settings that give the photo a 60's film look - much better for weddings then the modern, harsh, ultra sharp photos of most photographers.
And what I Offer...
Your wedding is unique and so should be your photography package.
I'll create exactly what you want regarding your photos. From engagement shoot to consultations and final prints - everything is what YOU want rather than what I say you should have.
The Images
The essence of wedding photography is capturing the many moments
that combine to tell the story of your wedding day in a creative, artistic
way so that every photo is also something to treasure
From candid shots where no one will even notice me, to staged, (Not Posed) photos where I'll find a great location at your wedding venue where the light is perfect, the scene adds to your story, and then arrange you so that I can give you the best photos you'll ever have.
The true test of a wedding photographer is to be able to find somewhere, in any venue, no matter the weather or time constraints to quickly and efficiently get everything set-up prefectly so that you can both just walk in and in 5 minutes (literally) we'll be finished and you'll have superb photos.
To be able to guarantee that I can do this, is the result of years of experience and over 500k photos.
These are the moments that will become
your memories of your wedding
The Way I Work on Your Day
I Feel It's Important to fit in at your wedding. I like to
be unnoticed, a kind of priveliged guest with a camera.
The days of mosty posed photos are long gone.
Today is all about natural, candid, and documentary. This isn't just a case of hiding away with a long lens and shooting in a corner - exactly the opposite! My main focal length os just 24mm which means I'm close to you, I'm a part of the crowd and wedding party, I capture not only great documentary photos but also the feeling and emotions so much better than being way over in the corner.
Yet those wedding photographers who truly only get candid shots fail to give the couple the best possible photographs. Sometimes it really is necessary to have you in a certain place for the background, facing the right way to get the best light and "doing" something that looks natural yet is flattering and creates a gorgeous photo. After all this is the day you're looking the very best and photos that match the efforts you've made are what you deserve.
I use unusual gear - a 13 year old Nikon D700, a 9 year old Nikon Df, a new Nikon Zf that is designed for pure photographers rather than "content creators", and the legendary Leica M10. All combined with older lenses that have more appealing character then new lenses.
Over the years I've developed ways to edit images in Lightroom that actentuate the "film" look I already get from the gear I use to give all my photos a uniquely characteristic film look.
Images that are timeless and full of character
Everything Else...
Yes of course it's about the photos - they are
what you have to keep forever but it's also about other things like...
Who Am I On Your Wedding Day?
My aim at a wedding is to become a "privileged guest" with a camera.
I have no intention of taking over your day or bossing anyone around.
I WILL briefly ask you to stand here next to the window, or "guys I missed that - can you do it again!" I'll organise the group and family shots so you have great photos and for a few minutes we'll spend time together getting magazine worthy shots of you as a couple that reflect who YOU are - not from some worn out list of fixed poses.
The rest of the time I'm wherever I think a good photo is in the making - I work tirelessly all day to get the "moments" and emotions that will become your memories of your wedding
I expect to be a welcome addition to your day - and not
just as the photographer
Hey Allen,
Just want to say, Thank You for your efforts on our day. You were everything I'd hoped for, relaxed, helpful and mixed so well with everyone. The photos are just perfect and beyond my expectations with so many wonderful moments and memories. How can I possibly narrow it down to 60 for the album! I'll give it a go over the weekend and get back to you. Thank you again.
Best wishes
Katie and James
