What’s Our Style? Relaxed & Reportage Wedding Photography and Videography
When couples ask, “What’s your style?” it’s honestly one of our favourite questions. Because our answer is simple: we’re all about relaxed, unobtrusive, and reportage wedding photography and videography. But what does that actually mean for your big day? Let’s break it down.

Relaxed, Unobtrusive, and 100% You
Our philosophy is simple: your wedding day is about you enjoying every moment—not about posing for a camera. We blend into the background, quietly capturing the real, unscripted moments as your day unfolds. Our couples tend to be people who want to enjoy themselves, laugh, mingle, and actually live their day, not just pose their way through it.
We’ll guide you when it comes to family photos and those couple shots, but we keep it easy and natural. No cheesy poses, no jumping in the air (unless you really want to!), and definitely no awkward “performing for the camera.” Especially on film, if it feels forced, it just looks odd—so we simply don’t do it.
What Does “Reportage” Mean?
Reportage is just a fancy way of saying documentary or candid. It’s about storytelling through genuine moments—capturing the laughter, the tears, the hugs, and the quiet glances you share. Most of the day, we’re in the background, letting things happen naturally. We’ll step in with a little guidance here and there, but never to the point of taking over.
Family Shots: Why Experience Matters
While we love a relaxed approach, we absolutely believe in getting those classic family photos. If a photographer tells you they “don’t do family shots, only reportage,” that’s a red flag—they’re probably not confident managing groups. We know how rare it is to have your whole family together, so we get those shots done quickly and efficiently, without eating up your day.
You can have as many or as few family groups as you want—we just recommend keeping it streamlined so you’re not away from your guests for too long. The result? Timeless family heirlooms you’ll treasure for years.
Couple Shots: Natural, Quick, and Enjoyable
Worried about being in front of the camera? You’re not alone! Most couples tell us they’re not “camera people.” Here’s our secret: the more relaxed you are, the better the photos and film. We typically do two short couple shoots—one between your ceremony and wedding breakfast, and another in the evening, maybe with some gorgeous sunset light.
No marathon photo sessions here. We’ll take you for a stroll, let you chat, laugh, and just be yourselves. We’ll step back, capture the magic, and you’ll actually get a little break to enjoy being newlyweds. It’s way more chilled than you might expect, and you’ll never miss out on the party.
Why Book a Combined Team?
When you book us for both photography and videography, you get a team that works seamlessly together. That means you won’t have to repeat shots for different people—everything’s covered at once, saving you time and letting you get back to your guests. (Curious about the perks?
