How To Get A Stunning & Iconic Bride & Groom Portrait in 12 Minutes

and spend more time at your wedding having fun. I can show you how this is possible.

You want & appreciate stunning and iconic wedding pictures. You would love to have amazing wall art to hang in your home, but you are worried that if you do this you are going to miss your party and having fun with your friends and family.

You are caught in a catch 22 and this may well worry you and affect the way you plan your wedding day.

 

Yes you can have stunning pictures and get to eat your wedding cake too. I can show you how this is possible, I do this for all my weddings.

 

My name is Edwin, I am an award winning wedding photographer:

Voted UK Luxury Wedding Travel Photographer of The Year 2019

Inducted into the:

Society Wedding Photographers World promoting the world’s best photographers

I am also regularly published in:

Your London Wedding magazine.


This image was shot from start to finish in 12 minutes. The bride and groom were back in the party and no one had even realised they were gone.

 

How do I manage this? - I hear you ask.

The Sneak Out:

I love to do a Sneak Out between the main course and dessert. This is written into our Running Order and I have shot some of my most iconic bride and groom images in a Sneak Out.

 

The location for this picture has already been selected from our visit to your venue. I will often visit the venue for a 2nd time by myself, measuring the time it will take you to walk in a wedding dress and heels from the reception to the shoot location and back.

 

When we do our Sneak Out my 2nd photographer has pre-set up the off camera flash units. I then invite my bride & groom to join me and when they are ready we shoot a series of images and they back at their reception in no time having fun.

 

If a Sneak Out is not possible, or you are not keen on it, I will stay until all the guests have left and shoot bride and groom portraits later that night.

The Midnight Shoot:

When I visited Julie & Marcus’s wedding venue I saw this amazing lake in the venue grounds, but I knew then we could not do a Sneak Out in 12 or even 15 minutes. The distance from the reception to the boathouse was too far.

So we planned to shoot this image after all the guest had left.

This signature picture now proudly hangs in their home.
