WEDDING PACKAGES
There are three main styles of wedding photographers – Reportage – Traditional – Contemporary. Gene’s style is a combination of reportage and traditional where he works with you to capture the images you must have and the images you don’t know are being taken.
REPORTAGE
Reportage Photography is also known as photojournalistic or documentary photography. Your photographer stands among and around you and your guests capturing candid and spontaneous shots. Reportage style is all about reactions and emotions so expect your photos to tell the real story of your day. It can feel like the most authentic form of photography as there’s no posing.
TRADITIONAL
Traditional or formal wedding photography is the classic posed look you see in conventional group shots of the couple and the wedding party. This involves plenty of direction from the photographer, but it also takes time and you might miss some of the action of the day. Your photos are likely to be a bit formulaic but will be beautifully shot and well-lit.
CONTEMPORARY
Contemporary photography will feel more like fashion or editorial photography combined with reportage. It’s ideal if you want fashion-led couple photos and an artistic approach to other shots.

KIND WORDS
Gene, thank you for photographing our wedding, the photographs are amazing and our album is just what we wanted. It was a long day for all of us! Your commitment, support and unstinting energy meant that we have photographs that we will treasure forever. We missed some of the background shots because we were facing the other way, but you captured the feeling of our guests and even managed to capture my uncle laughing, which is no mean feat.
Once again thank you, we will definitely recommend you if any friends are looking for a photographer JENNY AND DEAN
