Natural wedding photographer is a common marketing phrase but it’s a niche style that requires an expert in that field to get it right. Not just your photos but importantly your experience. I recommend that you see for yourself whether a photographers style is natural or staged.
Can natural wedding photography be directed at all?
Yes I believe that you can add some direction to a group of people or a couple and still finish up with a natural wedding photograph.
I direct people into an amazing scene. I then encourage spontaneity and interactions that are fun and playful which makes my clients experience very relaxed, enjoyable and fun.
People look amazing when photographed naturally
People look incredible when they are happy and relaxed on their wedding day. It’s a no brainer really. Magic happens after laughter that you can never re create. There is an optimal time to capture that joyful expression on someones face, when they are in the moment, happy and themselves.

We don’t want to be having a planning session mid wedding day heh, I want to be in the background photographing awesome pics and when required I’ll direct proceedings.
Do natural wedding photographers do family group photos?
Yes, I sure do. I am happy to do as many as you wish. I even have a neat technique which halves the time allocated to family photos and guarantees that no family group is ever missed.
Telling stories with natural wedding photo sequences
I use sequences of photographs more and more in my work. It’s a style that is rooted in the history of documentary photography. Instead of stopping with one photo, you go for multiple shots of moments unfolding to create a storyline.
