Most often the bride and bridegroom are getting ready at different locations, as was with Gareth and Hannah's. Sometimes these can be up to 20 miles away from each other or further and then another journey to the venue afterwards. I mostly work alone and if requested I will capture both parties myself, starting around 2.5 - 3 hours before the wedding ceremony. This involves planning and knowing your schedule to the detail in order to capture all those important moments. The following 48 slides are and example from Hannah and Gareth's wedding in 2024 where I need to capture them both at different locations before going to Caerphilly registry office, where they were married. Use the slider to scroll though the story of them both getting ready. Documentary wedding photography is all about the storytelling and images work together to create the narrative.
