Held. The Way It Felt
I’m Reece. I photograph weddings as they feel, capturing candid moments, not stage managing a checklist of shots.
I have spent years in commercial and advertising photography, capturing subtle gestures and human connection for some of the world’s biggest brands. These years of experience have taught me to read a room, anticipate and capture fleeting emotions, and instinctively understand people, light, and composition. These are the skills I bring to every wedding I photograph.
Weddings are messy, unpredictable, and full of tiny, unrepeatable moments: nervous hands, whispered jokes, stolen glances, and an energy you can’t stage. I’m there for it all. Some moments I’m in the thick of the action, laughing along with you; other times, you’ll forget I’m even in the room, quietly documenting your day as it unfolds.
I don’t follow trends or force perfection. I care about how it feels for you in the moment. The big moments, and the small. Your friends, your family, the energy, the joy, the quiet. Your wedding day, held exactly as it happened.
The Way I Work
I take on only a handful of weddings each year so I can give each one my full attention. I photograph weddings for the joy of real moments. The exuberance and chaos, the laughter, the small unscripted moments, all captured with a creative freedom that commercial work rarely allows.
Before anything else, we chat (Zoom or a phone call). I want to know your story, your plans, the energy you want for the day. If me and my approach feels right for you, booking is straightforward and easy.
Before the wedding, I’ll check in via Zoom (or face to face if location allows), and I’ll send a short questionnaire to learn the flow of your day and who’s who, so everything feels clear and manageable.
Engagement sessions are an optional add-on that makes sense at this stage of the journey. They’re a great opportunity for us to get more familiar with each other, and are a fun, low-pressure way for you to get comfortable in front of the camera, and see how I work. For those among us who are more introverted, or less comfortable with photos, this is also a wonderful chance to ease into the process.
1. Are We A Match?
On the wedding day, I move with the energy of the room. Calm and playful, or focussed and serious, whatever the moment needs. I anticipate and capture candid reportage images as they happen: bursts of laughter, fleeting glances, hands brushing, movement in the background - the things that make your day come alive.
I step in to direct only during portraits, or if there’s an incredible patch of light I can’t ignore. It’s always low-key and easy, never stiff or overworked.
Throughout the day, I work observationally. Moving and chatting among guests, helping people relax so the interactions I capture feel natural, warm, and alive. Most of the time, I’m invisible, quietly capturing images full of movement, energy, and personality.
2. Story In Motion
After the big day, I curate with intent. Small moments, big ones, and the people who mattered, all woven into a story that reflects all the wonder, uniqueness, love and unbridled joy of your wedding.
No filler, no “minimum shots per hour,” no hundreds of near-duplicates for you to sift through. Just the photos that carry all the presence, emotion, and weight you felt in those moments, and the group photos and portraits that really matter to you.
Your wedding gallery will be an honest representation of your day, and custom built to last, not to overwhelm. My photos tell the story of the day as it really happened, held exactly as it unfolded.
3. Editing & Storytelling
My Commercial Work
Years of commercial photography taught me to master composition and storytelling, and to understand light instinctively. Skills I refined on set and bring to capturing weddings with nuance and an emotional, cinematic quality.
