Creating magical wedding photos is about striking a delicate balance. You want your posed shots to look natural, and you want to capture your candid moments with as much style as possible. There are two main strains of wedding photography: traditional and reportage. Traditional basically means a posed shot, but this can be anything from a classic group photo outside your venue to a contemporary-style bride and groom shot. Reportage, or journalistic photography is about catching people unawares! Reportage photos are candid, meaning we are observing our subject being absolutely natural – these types of shots are great for gathering a real sense of your special day, and treasuring all the moments you might have missed as a busy bride and groom.

So how do we make your wedding photography magical? Well, firstly, we need to know what makes you tingle! When you come for a consultation at Rebecca Dawe, we will invite you to our friendly studio for a one-to-one chat so you can browse our portfolios, tell us all about your wedding and what you want from your photography. Our all-female team of wedding photographers in Leicester is vibrant and enthusiastic, and we all strive to bring a freshness and individuality to each wedding we attend. We are also familiar with many wedding venues in and around Leicester, so can help with ideas for what kind of shots work in each location.

Once we know what you want, and the big day has arrived, we will do our very best to make your wedding photoshoot run as smoothly and beautifully as possible. We can photograph your preparations; all the special little details of your dress, your flowers and your rings. We can slip into the background and collect up all those intimate images during your ceremony and reception. We can organise your bridal party for posed shots and add a sense of uniqueness and fun to your bride and groom photos. We can coach you and your guests to create wonderfully natural posed shots, and use all our technical ability to ensure your reportage photos have style and substance.

And when the day is done, we’ll invite you back to the studio to look over all your prints and choose your favourites and how you want to display them. And hopefully you’ll see a touch of magic in your wedding photos!
