My Approach to Photographing Weddings at The Grove

My approach to wedding photography is relaxed and documentary in style.

Rather than directing every moment, I focus on capturing the natural atmosphere of the day — the laughter during the drinks reception, the emotion during speeches and the small moments that make each wedding unique.

At The Grove this approach works beautifully, as the venue allows the day to unfold naturally while providing stunning surroundings for portraits.
