Lancaster Wedding Photographer Janet Ridley Photography

Lancaster Wedding Photographer – Are you looking for a good photographer or a good wedding photographer ?

At first glance this may sound a rather strange question. But a good Lancaster wedding photographer needs special skills. Not needed in any other type of photography.

Firstly

In the first place a good wedding photographer must be calm and patient. Listening to peoples needs, opinions and concerns. And above all capable of adapting to different personalities and changing circumstances.

Furthermore, if a wedding photographer hopes to capture the feel of the day. And the reactions of the Bride, Groom and guests to unfolding events it is necessary to be a good people watcher. Noticing how guests interact reveals the quiet and the outgoing personalities. The jokers and storytellers are always worth watching. For the reactions they provoke in others.

Observe a little

Closer and you will notice the proud smile of a parent. Or perhaps the toughest looking guest in the room self consciously wiping a tear from their eye.
Catching these moments is in some ways a matter of luck, but as a famous golfer once said. ” The more I practice the luckier I get ”
I try to work in a relaxed and unobtrusive manner. I believe this is why many of my bookings are from people who have attended weddings I have photographed. If you have any questions or would like to chat about your special day please get in touch.

My approach for weddings is to tell the story of the wedding day like a fly on the wall. I tend to let the events unfold naturally as I capture the real reactions through the day. While ensuring that I capture all the intricate details, happiness and fun.

When the timing is right, I also mix in a bit of traditional approach to direct my brides and grooms under the best light and angles for beautiful yet natural portraits. I think it is important to be able to be flexible and balance the right amount of photojournalism, spontaneity, and traditional wedding photography for different brides and grooms with unique personalities.

The day passes by so fast, and in the years after the wedding, I want my brides and grooms to be able to reflect back on the day and remember all the little details through my photos.
