Wedding Photography: How To Nail Each Part Of The Day (Documentary-Style)

Hey everyone!

I remember getting ready to photograph my first wedding six years ago - I WAS SO NERVOUS!

No matter how much I searched online, all the knowledge I could find back then was really technical and talked about how to frame, how to shoot and how to edit. Nowhere actually covered how to approach a wedding day and what to expect. Being a wedding photographer is about so much more than just taking photos, and I wish I'd known that back then. 

These are the videos I wish would have been around when I was getting ready for my first wedding.

I am going to talk you through an entire wedding I photographed last year, using 50+ examples of photos I took, and share with you how I approach each part of the day to take beautiful, unposed photos. I'm going to tell you how I took the photo and share the technical information behind the image. 

The wedding I will be covering was featured on Rock My Wedding earlier this year!

I'm going to cover everything I know about:

1) How I organise myself for the wedding day 
2) How I conduct my in-person meetings to get all the information that I need 
3) The mindset and guiding principles behind my candid, documentary-style approach
4) The equipment that I use and how I use it 
5) How I approach the entire wedding day, part by part 

Whether you are:

A confident and experienced wedding photographer with your own business and approach

Have never photographed a wedding before but feel comfortable around a camera 

Have done a few weddings and you want to learn as much as possible

Simply curious about wedding photography and have an hour to spare
