WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY FOR DREAMERS, DRUNKS & PARTY PUNKS!
Hello, I'm Daniel, a Cambridge based photographer that works all over the UK and Europe, and I bloomin love my job! I also have a rubbish beard, the laugh of an 'evil genius' (not my words), and a massive passion for photographing awesome people having awesome weddings! If you are after fun, vibrant and naturally captured photography, please take a look at my work, and drop me a message. Shabba!
Winning photos
We really lucked out with some stunning light at the end of the evening, so we decided to go for a walk, and it made for a beautiful moment and awesome shadows!
72nd CollectionA little stolen moment for Tom & Jade, so they could get away and practice their first dance at Chippenham Park, as they were both pretty nervous about doing it in front of all their guests!
71st CollectionA little moment captured between Danielle & Jonathan really summed up the hopes and dreams of every couple perfectly on their wedding day.
70th CollectionLaura & Kieron had a wonderful micro wedding here in the UK, and when we decided to go for a walk, they brought some balloons with them and they added that magical element to the photograph.
69th CollectionThe rain had been relentless, but after a little break in the clouds, it dried up enough for us to get out and capture the sunlight popping through the autumn leaves.
67th CollectionThe neon sign was cool enough, and because I didn't want to mess with the ambiance of the scene, yet also wanted to bring color to the couple to match the neon, I used a prism below my lens to bounce the neon light back into the camera and it resulted in this.
67th CollectionEmilie and Jason had a very intimate wedding due to Covid-19, and decided to embrace the moment, and celebrate in style once the knot had been tied. They were really happy, and it shows in this capture :-)
64th CollectionThe light just appeared perfectly behind the groom's head, and I luckily managed to capture it as they had this stolen moment, I think just adding a little bit of magic to the scene.
62nd CollectionThe rain almost ruined the chances to get this shot as it was starting to get heavy very quickly, but we managed to grab three photos before it got too much, of which this was the first frame, and Tom & Silvanna nailed the moment.
61st CollectionIt was an awful day from a weather perspective, so we had to get inside and get creative, and I loved these lights and drapes inside the reception venue.
59th CollectionThis photograph of Silvanna & Tom was captured at Chippenham Park in the UK, I really wanted to make sure the Love Rocks neon sign was properly exposed, so before the cake cutting I put a light up to expose the couple and not spill onto the sign, and it worked perfectly! The fact they were messing about just made the moment even better :-)
58th CollectionI captured this portrait of Marcus & Emily during a light rain shower here in the UK, using the water on my lens to add a little magic to the scene, and it worked a treat with the lighting from my flashguns and the venue.
58th CollectionJody & Derry had a really magical wedding, the barn was only used for the ceremony, so we decided to use it again for some evening portraits. I two lights to capture this, one behind to create the starburst effect, and the other camera left (hidden by the wooden pillar) to light them having this moment.
57th CollectionThis was one of those lucky 'moments' when the mixture of poor venue lighting, wide space, and a genuine lovely closeness between the bride Justine, and her father, just before he walked her down the aisle, all just came together and I was fortunate enough to capture it.
56th CollectionβIt had rained all day, pretty relentless, but my couple is fans of some of my OCF stuff, so requested we head out in the evening to catch something cool. I thought the lights up the venue drive were a cool backdrop, and though there was some potential for a cool effect with raindrops hitting my lens as the wind was light and blowing slightly from left to right across the road. I set up flash behind them directed into the brolly, a flash camera left with a MagMod dome just to expose their faces, and a 3rd flash camera left with a red gel pointed slightly towards and away from my camera so that it would catch the water on my lens and add some color to the scene. I only managed about 4 frames before the rain got too heavy to stay and my lens was drenched, this was the second of the 4, and it worked really well.β
56th CollectionThe sunset was amazing but we had a very overcast day here in England so I waited until the sun managed to pop out for a minute, I asked Rebecca & Ash to practice the first dance, and then this happened... magic!
55th CollectionMatt & Kelly had an amazing day over in France, and the sunlight popping through the trees made for a perfect opportunity to catch this beautiful moment, whilst I used a copper pipe to create the 'ring of fire' effect.
54th CollectionIt had rained all day long at the venue, but towards the end of the night it became just drizzle, so we nipped out and used the beautiful bridge lights as a lovely setting for this portrait.
