Weddings

My name is David Hales and I am an experienced freelance photographer taking pictures across a number of different genres.

My website certainly reflects my diverse work, with this section dedicated to Weddings, which I guess is why you have landed here.

Over time I have started to specialise in the smaller, bespoke and intimate wedding rather than the bigger events.

I find my style compliments these weddings better with both myself and the customer enjoying the occasion.

Below is an example of some of my work...

My approach to wedding photography is to combine a Classic and Traditional style alongside Candid and Documentary style photographs.

Whilst the Classic and Traditional photographs are more straight forward and may not be seen as highly creative - they’re typically shot at eye level and posed - but they stand the test of time. I like to incorporate at least some traditional photography into the mix, particularly for family portraits after the ceremony. These photos will persevere throughout the years and won’t go out of style. It’s very simplistic, and nothing crazy, but they still look good 50 to 60 years later.

The Candid and Documentary style is best described as Photojournalistic. It makes for some of the most heartfelt and memorable images, which is why I like to add these into the mix. I let the moments unfold naturally, then snap away, recording the magic as it happens.
