Oxfordshire Wedding Photography Styles

Photographing a couple’s wedding day is a very personal thing. It is vital as a wedding photographer that I capture the essence and feeling of your wedding celebration. Every couple is different - Some couples prefer posed group shots, while others prefer more natural, relaxed images without the need for formal static poses.

At Darren Weston Photography, we recognise that your wedding is a unique event. Capturing the essence of your celebration through Oxfordshire wedding photography is our speciality. Every couple has different preferences, ranging from posed group photos to more candid shots. And we excel at delivering both styles to match your vision for your Oxford wedding photoshoots. But, before making a decision, consider our guide outlining the options available to you.

Rest assured, blending different styles to mirror the ambience and participants of your Oxford wedding photoshoot is perfectly welcome. We're dedicated to making your memories tangible in a way that feels uniquely yours.

Traditional Style of Oxfordshire Wedding Photoshoots

Darren Weston Photography specialises in the timeless tradition of Oxfordshire Wedding Photography, capturing elegant and formal shots of the wedding party. The images tend to be formal portrait shots of you and your guests, and all are focused toward the lens of the camera.

These styles are still popular, showing the attendees helping you celebrate your special day. From a photography point of view, images like these take some organisation as everyone must focus their attention on the wedding photographer. Resultant images show similar emotions as everyone is generally smiling and looking in one direction. Our Oxford wedding photoshoots are often punctuated with the joyous smiles of the celebrants, resulting in images that truly represent your memorable day.

We understand the importance of planning and coordination, particularly when it comes to choosing the perfect timing and location for your photoshoot. Our team considers all factors, including the weather and the time of year.

Being the groom, this is where your best man earns his pay! We often collaborate with the best man to streamline the process of gathering guests, ensuring a smooth, efficient, and enjoyable photoshoot experience for all.

Contemporary Style of Oxfordshire Wedding Photoshoots

These are very creative shots.

Renowned for awe-inspiring Oxfordshire wedding photoshoots, Darren Weston Photography combines expertise and innovation to make your wedding memories spectacular. Emphasising the unique charm of your special day, we use both natural and artificial lighting to create stunning visuals, whether it's capturing rain droplets, snowflakes, or the grandeur of your wedding venue under the night sky.

When deciding upon these types of photos consider that your photographer will need a little time to set up exterior lighting prior to the shot. Once ready, I only then request my bridal couple meaning they are only away from the guests and celebrations for a short while.

Often couples choose to have one or two of these types of shots if the venue and weather allow. If not, some amazing contemporary shots can be achieved inside the venue.

Documentary Style of Oxfordshire Wedding Photography

This style is by far the most requested type of Oxfordshire wedding photography. Basically, your photographer will capture the events of the day in an unobtrusive “reportage” style capturing the laughs (and tears) as the day unfolds. Generally, you and your guests are photographed having fun without direct interaction with your photographer.

These images show the spontaneity of the celebrations and can give really heartwarming images of your guests, helping you to enjoy the day.
