Our passion lies in preserving these precious instances, ensuring that your unique love story is narrated authentically and artfully. From the intimate moments of preparation to the grand celebration of the reception, we focus on capturing genuine emotions, guest reactions, and every element that makes your day truly yours.

We understand couples desire peace of mind, knowing their memories are preserved, and that’s precisely what we deliver.
The Vision Behind the Shot
This particular image, taken during a wonderful wedding at Wragg Barn Golf Club in Swindon, England, exemplifies our meticulous approach. It features a non-binary person with short, dark, wavy hair and a warm smile, wearing a vibrant, patterned, long-sleeved shirt in shades of blue and green, paired with dark pants. Their face is beautifully framed by a soft, natural makeup look against an indistinct background, allowing their joy to truly stand out. We employed a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV camera with an EF85mm f/1.4L IS USM lens, known for its ability to create flattering compression and pleasing background blur. The settings—an aperture of f/2.2, a shutter speed of 1/4000 of a second, and careful light management during the late afternoon—were chosen to achieve a shallow depth of field, isolate the subject, and freeze any motion, resulting in a sharp, impactful portrait.

Technical Approach
The technical choices for this image were deliberate, focused on achieving artistic excellence. Utilising the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and the EF85mm f/1.4L IS USM lens at 85.0 mm focal length, allowed for excellent subject isolation. An aperture of f/2.2 created a beautiful, shallow depth of field, drawing attention to our smiling subject. The extremely fast shutter speed of 1/4000s ensured absolute sharpness, freezing any potential movement and perfectly capturing the dynamic atmosphere of a wedding day. Taken in Swindon during the softer, warmer light of a late spring evening, these settings combined to produce a portrait with depth, clarity, and emotional resonance.
