I’m Jeff Turnbull. A warm welcome, and thank you for visiting my website. I understand that it can be overwhelming to choose the right wedding photographer for your big day. Documentary wedding photography is a unique, unobtrusive, and authentic style, and there are some excellent reasons why it’s a great choice for you.
If you’re looking for an adventure-loving, friendly person who will blend perfectly into your wedding while capturing the emotion, love, and laughter throughout your day, then you’re in the right place.
Often seen as a reporter, a documentary wedding photographer is a photographer who takes an observational and non-intrusive approach to capture a wedding.
This means you can enjoy your whole day without worrying about constantly posing for the camera. Also, with this style of photography, you will find that natural, genuine moments that happen throughout your big day are captured tastefully and elegantly. Furthermore, it can record the most authentic pictures that repaint your wedding scene in one single image.
They say a picture speaks a thousand words, so having a documentary wedding photographer capture the pure, innocent and genuine moments at your wedding will speak far more than a regular, standard posed picture. You will find that your day’s real story and atmosphere can be relived as you view and share your photos.
When you look back on your photos, documentary style can capture the most memorable moments and transport you back to those precious moments.
Like your dad seeing you in your dress for the first time, the look on the groom’s face as the bride walks down the aisle, or the flower girl and page boy holding hands.
You can achieve a much more natural set of memories than being told where to stand, when to smile, and what to do.
One of the most incredible and precious things about documentary wedding photography is that you will find photos of things you didn’t even know happened.
As the bride and groom, you are undeniably the most important people at the wedding; however, a documentary photographer appreciates that there aren’t many occasions in life where all your close family and friends are in one place. You can’t be everywhere at once on your wedding day, but having a documentary wedding photographer to hand will mean that you can see things that you didn’t even know happened, and there’s just something a little magical about that.
Just because you want to capture the memories of your big day doesn’t mean you’re comfortable in front of the camera.
If you’re self-conscious or a little camera shy, you aren’t likely to feel comfortable having a photographer asking you to pose or to smile on demand. A documentary photographer is a fantastic way to tackle this; they won’t intrude, and you will end up with more natural and emotional pictures.
With over 15 years of experience, I will work tirelessly to tell the personal story of your wedding day. I love capturing stunning images that truly reflect the essence of your special day, expressing themselves in unique, creative, and unforgettable ways.
I would be honoured to be your documentary wedding photographer on your big day.
With bookings taken up to two years in advance, contact me today to check availability and tell me about your wedding day plans.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Jeff
