Does It Matter If Iโve Shot at Your Wedding Venue Before?

One question that sometimes comes up, is whether I’ve shot at your venue before. While itโs a fair question, the honest answer isโ to me, it really doesnโt matter if I have or not. In fact, Iโd argue that sometimes, itโs even better if I havenโt! Fresh eyes bring fresh creativity, and my experience means I can adapt to any setting to capture your wedding in the most beautiful and natural way.

Experience Over Familiarity
As a wedding photographer with over 20 years of experience shooting all over the UK and internationally, Iโve photographed hundreds of weddings in every setting imaginableโstately homes, barns, beaches, castles, vineyards, and even back gardens. Iโve developed the ability to adapt quickly to any environment. No matter where I am, I know how to work with different lighting conditions, angles, and compositions to create stunning images that truly capture the essence of your day. While it’s certainly easier photographing in naturally stunning settings, a good photographer can transform any space to make beautiful photographs with clever lighting and compositions.ย

New Venues Inspire Creativity
While itโs great to be familiar with a venue (and I definitely have some local favourites – check the footer links for some of them) thereโs something exciting about stepping into a new space with fresh eyes. It pushes me to be more creative, look at things differently, and find unique compositions rather than relying on pre-planned shots. This keeps my work dynamic and ensures that every wedding I capture feels fresh and personal rather than repetitive or formulaic.
