What was typed in

“I'm Aoife, a wedding photographer. I shoot maybe eighteen weddings a year, documentary style, no posing, mostly outdoors and in old halls. Couples book me a year or more ahead. I want people to see the pictures first and read second. Build me a website please.”

Everything below — the palette, the typefaces, the section order — came from that paragraph.

Documentary weddings · around eighteen a year

Your day, unposed, as it actually happened

I'm Aoife, and I photograph weddings the way they unfold — no posing, no shot list to march through, no standing you in front of a hedge while your friends wait. Most of my work happens outdoors and in old halls. I take around eighteen weddings a year, which is deliberate: it's the number that lets me give every one of them a full day's attention. Look at the pictures first. The words will still be here after.

No posing. Not a little bit of posing.

Documentary means I photograph what is happening rather than arranging something for me to photograph. You won't be asked to hold hands and walk towards me, or to do the first kiss again for the camera. What that gets you is a set of pictures that look like the day you remember: the people who were actually there, doing what they were actually doing. It also means I spend the day mostly out of the way, which most couples tell me is the part they notice first.

Nothing posed. Nothing staged.

Booking, and why it happens early

Because I only take around eighteen weddings a year, dates go a long way out — most couples come to me twelve months ahead or more, and popular summer Saturdays tend to go first. If your date is further off than that, it's not too early to ask. If it's sooner, ask anyway; occasionally a date is still open and it costs nothing to find out.

What I shoot

Weddings, documented start to finish — mostly outdoors and in old halls.

  • Full-day documentary wedding coverage
  • Outdoor ceremonies
  • Weddings in old halls and historic venues
  • Unposed portraits — made while they happen, not arranged
  • Small and informal weddings

How I work

Four things that are true of every wedding I photograph.

Nothing is set up

I don't direct, arrange or re-stage anything. If it's in the pictures, it happened.

Outdoors and old buildings

Most of my weddings are outside or in old halls. Weather, low light and awkward corners are the normal conditions, not the exception.

The whole day, not the highlights

The quiet hour before anyone arrives is as much a part of the story as the speeches. I photograph both.

Eighteen weddings a year

A deliberately small number. It means the day you book is the only thing in my diary that week.

A small year, on purpose

Two numbers that shape how I work.

Questions couples ask

The ones that come up nearly every time.

Do you do any posed photographs at all?

No. I photograph what's happening rather than arranging things to photograph. If you want a formal group shot of everyone lined up, I'm honestly not the right photographer for you — and I'd rather say that now than on the day.

How far ahead should we book?

Most couples book me a year or more in advance. I take around eighteen weddings a year, so dates are limited and the summer ones go earliest.

What if it rains, or the hall is dark?

Both are normal for me. Most of my work is outdoors or inside old buildings, so difficult weather and low light are the usual conditions rather than a problem to be solved. It doesn't change how I shoot.

Will we notice you during the day?

As little as possible. Working documentary-style means staying out of the way, which is the only way the day carries on being itself while I'm photographing it.

Do you photograph small weddings?

Yes. Small and informal weddings suit this way of working particularly well.

Tell me about your day

Send me your date and where you're getting married, and I'll let you know whether I'm free. If I am, we'll talk properly from there.

That was built from one paragraph.

Every wedding photographer is different, so yours would not look like this one — it would come from what you type about your own business.

What you are not seeing: a real published site also carries the owner’s phone number as a tap-to-call link, their email and address, and a live enquiry form wired to their dashboard. None of those appear above, because they are real contact details and this business does not exist. We won’t invent a phone number to make a demo look better. The photographs are ours, not the engine’s. They sit where an owner’s uploads sit and are passed to the page the same way, so you can see what this becomes once somebody adds their own. The engine chose the layout, the palette, the typefaces and the order of the page. It never chooses a picture, because it has no way of knowing what your work looks like.
