An Essex Wedding - January/February 2023 (Issue 108)

Who? Chris Bradshaw Photography Prices? From £1,700 Contact www.chrisbradshaw.co Why me? “My wife, Laura, and I shoot weddings together, describing our style as unobtrusive and cinematic, with a focus on documentary and fine art,” says Chris. “The majority of how we shoot is very candid, but we guide our couples throughout the day and direct elements as needed. Being part of your celebration is by far the most rewarding part of wedding photography, and we’re continuously honoured people put their trust in us to document their day. If you’re looking for a down to earth and fun couple to document your story, then we’re the right guys for the job!” Who? Clare Kentish Photography Prices? From £1,800 Contact www.clarekentish.com Why me? “I tell couples my style is ‘hybrid’, which to me means I photograph in a style to suit your wedding,” explains Clare. “I love my job, as I get to explore castles, country parks and manor houses – and I also love how there’s no such thing as perfection when it comes to your day. Your cake might fall over, your flowers may wilt, and it may well rain! It really doesn’t matter, as at the end of the day you and your guests are there to have fun – and I’m there to capture that. I’m just a human, with a kick-ass sense of humour, short-person syndrome (bossy AF), and I’m pretty good at this photo-taking thing, too!” www.chrisbradshaw.co www.chrisbradshaw.co Who? David Dean Photographic Prices? £1,950 - £3,250 Contact www.daviddeanphotographic.co.uk Why me? “My photography is natural and candid,” says David, “as I want to capture moments happening throughout the day. I try not to pose couples too much – I personally hate having my photo taken, so I try to take your photos how I’d want mine shot. I get to see people at their happiest, and it’s a real buzz to capture those moments of joy. Ultimately, the only reason to book any photographer is if you love their work and if you click with their personality. I’m passionate about what I do, and I don’t take for granted that this is the biggest day of your lives.” www.daviddeanphotographic.co.uk www.daviddeanphotographic.co.uk www.clarekentish.com www.clarekentish.com 58
