I am sure you have read lots about documentary or photojournalistic wedding photography. But what does it really mean?

In it’s purest form, it is like the photographer isn’t even there. A fly on the wall, capturing candid moments as they accure, with no input or staging of shots.

To a certain point, that is how I work. I want to capture and tell the story of your day as it was. No staged moments, no redo’s trying to create perfection. When you look back at your wedding photos, what you will see is the day as it was, with all the tears, laughs, silly uncles, groomsmen and miss behaving children. A time capsule of a special day.

You choose Tempest Photography because you want one less thing to worry or think about. You just want beautiful photos to look back on and remember the day as it was.

I have a hands off approach to capturing your day.

If your aim for the day is to keep things simple, enjoy and take in the moments, cherish the company of those you love and not having a photographer interfering and interrupting, asking you to pose here and there, or redo that candid laugh or ask your bridesmaids to move out of the way… then we are in total agreement.

My aim is to tell the story of your special day with minimal interference and interruptions.

I shoot with two professional cameras on me at all times. 1. So that I don’t miss those special shots. 2. In the event that a camera or lens fails, I have a back up at the ready, so can continue on without missing any moments. Both cameras save photos to two seperate cards, so there is also no chance of corrupt cards and the dreaded lose of photos.
