WHY YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER SHOULD CARE ABOUT MORE THAN JUST THE PHOTOS
CREATING A PERSONAlised wedding photography experience
It’s easy to assume that wedding photography is just about delivering beautiful images. But here’s the thing - your wedding photographer isn’t just there to take pictures. They’re with you through some of the most intimate, emotional, and chaotic moments of your day. If they don’t care about you as much as they care about their work, you’re missing out on a whole level of experience that goes far beyond photography.
Jess, one of our incredible brides, put it best: “You don’t need a review to tell you about how incredible The Twigs’ photos are – you can see that for yourself. What you need to know, that can’t be seen in the photos, is about all the other elements of the experience, and that is where The Twigs really shone for us.”
What Makes a Great Photographer?
It starts before the first click of the camera. Photography isn’t just about showing up on the wedding day and pressing a shutter button. Long before we step into your venue, we already know what matters most to you - because we’ve taken the time to find out.
From the first enquiry, we make it a priority to understand you as a couple. Your story, your dynamic, your energy. Jess described our process as “a truly personalised and luxury customer experience,” and that’s exactly what we aim for.
You’re not just another couple on our calendar. Your wedding isn’t just another job. It’s a day we care about as deeply as you do, and we work hard to make sure the photography experience feels effortless, fun, and completely you.
Putting You at Ease in Front of the Camera
We get it - most people don’t love having their photo taken. Jess and her partner were no different, but something changed at their pre-wedding shoot.
“We were awkward customers. Neither myself nor my partner is comfortable having our photos taken. The Twigs not only listened and were keen to execute our vision, but took my mangled explanation and turned it into an extraordinary creative brief.”
That’s what we do. We don’t just take photos of you - we create an experience with you. Whether it’s an engagement session or your wedding day, we know how to get you comfortable in front of the lens without making it feel forced.
Jess & Marcus had a specific vision for their pre-shoot - they asked for power couple, Succession vibes, so we worked with them to create just that.
For Jess, something clicked during the Love Shoot:
“At one point, when I was looking at one of the raw photos during the shoot, I got overwhelmed, seeing myself in an entirely new light. My husband later told me: ‘I was watching you, and that was the moment I knew you’d finally seen yourself the way I see you.’”
That’s the power of photography when it’s done right. It’s not just about images - it’s about how those images make you feel.
More Than Just a Wedding Photographer
A great wedding photographer doesn’t just observe the day, they become part of it. We’re not standing on the sidelines hoping for the perfect shot. We’re engaged in the day, anticipating moments, and stepping in when needed to make sure everything unfolds seamlessly.
“On the day, Paul did everything in his power to get the best – and honestly the coolest – shots. From corralling a 20-strong wedding party and rearranging the furniture, to getting everyone laughing and at ease, to launching himself across the floor, and letting himself get trapped in a children’s play tent with a rowdy wedding party.”
Your Photos Reflect Your Experience
At the end of the day, the images we deliver aren’t just about composition, lighting, or editing. They reflect the experience you had in front of the camera.
“The posed ones are posed like high fashion editorial, with subjects who are clearly feeling confident and comfortable, and the candids catch people in their best light. The style is unique to each wedding and tailored to fit. Not your average wedding snaps.”
That’s because we make sure you feel good - not just look good. If your photographer isn’t invested in the experience, the photos will never have the same depth, energy, or emotion.
Jess ended her review with this:
“Run don’t walk, and do whatever it takes, to get these two on your team. You will not regret booking The Twigs.”
If you’re looking for more than just pretty pictures - if you want a photography experience that makes you feel seen, understood, and completely at ease - then we’d love to hear from you. Drop us a line here.
Because wedding photography should be about more than just the photos. It should be about you.
