As you may have noticed on my website or socials, I describe myself as a “fine art” wedding photographer. I talk generally about my approach to capturing your wedding on my website, but I thought the concept of “fine art” was deserving of it’s own post.
There’s a common misconception that fine art is all about how images are edited, and it is sometimes used as a synonym for “light and airy.” However, the meaning of fine art is far more important than simply the final look: instead, it’s about a photographer’s approach. This contributes significantly to the end result, but is about so much more than that…
For me,being a fine art wedding photographer here in the UK is more about how I approach every wedding, rather than how I edit each wedding after I have captured it. My approach and focus is on creating images that are pieces of artwork for my couples. This means that rather than capturing your wedding with a photojournalistic (as a “fly-on-the-wall”), I focus on ensuring you receive images that are beautifully composed, capture you in the most flattering poses and lighting. However, one thing that sets my approach apart is a focus on actively doing this, whilst continuing to prioritise true emotion and unfiltered moments.
This mentality enables me to create fine art wedding photographs that are filled with emotion: heirloom imagery that you will want to fill your home with!
Fine art can mean different things, but for me it’s about taking a considered approach to capturing exquisite images my couples will adore.
Regardless of where you are getting married – whether that’s a city hotel, UK countryside manor house, a marquee at home, lakeside villa in Italy, French chateau or anywhere else – if you dream of flattering, beautifully captured images that celebrate the emotion of your wedding day, scroll down to get in touch today.
