Main Content
Our commitment is to capture the genuine emotions and individual essence of your special day, and beyond. This particular image, taken during a serene afternoon in London, showcases a person with striking contemporary style—fair skin, a strong jawline, and full, expressive lips. Their direct, confident gaze speaks volumes, framed by a modern, textured hairstyle. The minimalist dark top ensures the focus remains entirely on their powerful presence and expression. It’s these subtle yet impactful details that weave together to tell a richer #LoveStory.
The Vision Behind the Shot
The essence of this portrait lies in its celebration of self-assuredness. We aimed to create an image that is both intimate and empowering, highlighting the subject’s natural beauty and composure. The indistinct background was a deliberate choice to ensure an undivided focus on their compelling features, allowing their personality to shine through unhindered. This approach forms a crucial part of our comprehensive wedding photography, designed to capture not just moments, but the very spirit of your celebration.

Technical Approach
This exquisite portrait was captured using a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV camera, paired with an EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens set to 135.0mm. This focal length is ideal for isolating subjects and achieving a beautiful perspective compression. With an aperture of f/5.6 and a shutter speed of 1/125, we balanced depth of field and motion capture perfectly, complemented by an ISO of 0, determining light sensitivity, to manage the available afternoon light effectively. The location, London, England, provided an inspiring backdrop for this ‘Wedding shoot of David and Gina’, demonstrating our adaptability in varied urban and natural settings.
