Documentary Wedding Photography

Most accurately described as a documentary wedding photographer, Allister's aim is not only to capture the day as it unfolds but to interpret his weddings in a particularly personal and authentic manner. Meaningful, documentary photography is made that truly depicts the essence of a day in terms of its characters, emotion and humour.

A good documentary photographer will give it's subjects context - photography should possess powerful narrative and as a result have a timeless and sentimental appeal for family and guests involved. These qualities make them much more than just a set of isolated portraits that happen to have been taken during someone's wedding. Allister's documentary wedding photography is moving - it provides an honest insight into the day and a true representation to look back on.

During the wedding you will not spend hours standing around having formal, posed photography, just a few requested images - if required.

A documentary wedding photographer should aim to have as little impact on the proceedings as possible. Professional documentary wedding photography will be subtle, unobtrusive and by no means demanding. Most importantly however, the photographer will have exceptional people skills - putting people at ease is key to being a successful documentary wedding photographer.
