‘Documentary’ Wedding Photographer

You will photograph a few of our friends and family won’t you?

A recent question I got asked by a bride several times on their planning day, 48hrs before their wedding at Barclay House near Looe, Cornwall. For the majority of the weddings I photograph, documentary, candid, reportage wedding photography, or whatever you want to call it, is important to my couples. This is perfect for me and is often why couples choose me to photograph their wedding day in the first instance. Whenever I am not photographing the Bride, Groom, or couple together, then my time is spent flying around the walls capturing all those other moments that become the real reminders of their special day. Therefore I was happy to reassure the bride that all aspects were covered and quickly asked her to reflect on all the pictures they sore from real weddings when we first met.

Tell us a little about yourself?

My name is Barney Walters, and besides photography my passions are skiing, F1 racing, Apple products and above all, travelling the world.

How did you get into wedding photography?

I have been a wedding photographer for just over 2 years, I starting shooting weddings after I met another photographer at a wedding of one of my relatives. We talked and it went from there…

Barclay House Wedding Photographer – James & Sarah

On the weekend of our so called ‘Indian Summer’, the 1st of October, it was time for the wedding of Sarah & James at Morval Church and then reception at Barclay House, near Looe, Cornwall. The long day of relentless glorious sunshine could not have gone down better with the bride, a little to hot and harsh for my liking, but who am I to complain. After the bombshell weather I experienced with Sarah & James on their pre-shoot, they certainly deserved it.

Wedding Photography at Leigh Court | Bristol Photographer | Cornwall

After publishing my last wedding blog of Chris & Kate’s wedding, I felt that I probably posted too many ‘posed’ pictures. I use the term ‘posed’ loosely because the only set up part is a mere suggestion, the rest is down to the couple. None the less, I have decided to insure this week that I choose a fair selection and reflect my ‘non-posed’ style with the odd ‘posed’ picture of the couple where convenient.

I recently sat down and flicked through a recent wedding I photographed and well over 80% of the final pictures given to the couple had very little involvement from myself. A good photographer and friend of mine once said ‘all I do, is make what you do, look good’ and I feel this is fitting for what I am trying to say. Therefore less than 20% of the pictures my clients receive are ‘posed’, obviously this would vary slightly depending on the communication I receive from the couple and what is planned with them for the day. However the principle remains.

Anyway, without any further distraction from the picture content here, these are a few pictures from a wedding last weekend of Greg & Jen at Leigh Court (http://www.leighcourt.co.uk) near Bristol. The mix of French and English quests (Greg being French born) was a great laugh, especially when it came to the multi linguistic speeches and a challenge during the group pictures.

Rill Estate Wedding Photographer | Devon Wedding Photography

Here are a few pictures from the wedding of Chris & Kate a few weeks ago, the weather was probably one of the most unsettled his year so far, however the odd shower during mid morning and early afternoon led to a largely clear late afternoon and evening. Both the ceremony and reception were held at Rill Estate (http://www.rillestate.co.uk/home/)

Chris & Kate were very energetic and a special mention to Kate who had to navigate herself in a very large dress. They had a great group of young friends that certainly brought the afternoon and evening alive.

I am enjoying clean and crisp images in either Black & White or a Sepia style at the moment, especially when it comes to the few minutes of posed pictures in the day, most of the set-ups of which are shown here. My so called ‘fly on the wall’ approach is still very much evident for the majority of the day.

I photographed this wedding alongside Fine Art Devon Wedding Photographer Andy Green at www.harreraimages.co.uk.
