Bill Sykes Photography

I describe my style as a blend of various approaches to provide a ‘storybook’ of my couple’s wedding day. I love capturing natural, relaxed shots of people, real moments, genuine love between the couple, small arty details. I have plenty of experience to bring out the best with whatever light conditions the day offers.

I also work with my associate photographer, Minah Wilson, to offer a flexible 2 photographer team. So you can have both of us for just part of your day or for the full duration. Two angles of view, two places at once and two people to chat to about anything beforehand. We also combine talents with editing & photo enhancement, after the wedding day. As well as being a good professional photographer, Minah is a natural people person, very easy going and fun, which reflects in her photos. We both share a similar approach for our wedding photography – natural, relaxed real moments.

I offer flexibility with pricing – both on coverage and work afterwards. Therefore, my couples can have some say in how they would like there photos to look style-wise. With a second shooter, we can offer flexible packages for your choices of coverage – see above. It is also possible to hire Minah to shoot on the day on her own and for myself to be ‘Art Director’ with the editing and photo finishing stages. This can be a more cost effective package. Feel free to ask for more details.

I am married and our day was very relaxed with a reportage type photographer wandering about, taking lots of candid quirky moments. I’m not crazy about having my photo taken and he got lots of natural shots, which we loved (although he did mess up the film processing so they all look dark!). This inspired me to capture my weddings as the whole event as a ‘story book’.

I would think about how you would like to enjoy YOUR day. With everything going on, the time you actually have to hang out together can be limited. So think time wise, how much do you want to be spending with your photographer getting specific shots done….. balanced with…. how much you want to be celebrating with friends and family?
