About Tina

001 copy 150x150 About Tina

 

Hello! I’m Tina – a Berkshire based documentary wedding photographer & portrait photographer with 16 years experience.  I live in a small village in Reading, close to the river, with my husband and two daughters.  I am available to photograph weddings throughout Berkshire and across the UK.

My photography style is based on a story telling approach and often my shooting style can be described at reportage, documentary style or photojournalism.

I will photograph your day without intervening.  I will not ask you to pose or direct your wedding day.  Having photographed over one hundred weddings over the years and developed my own style I am happy to leave behind the traditional wedding techniques of  stopping the proceedings to pose bride and grooms throughout their wedding day.  The wedding day is about you & your guests, for you to relax and enjoy.  I will unobtrusively record the most important day of your lives working quietly capturing all the emotions with timeless, honest images.  I am of course happy to take a small number of group portraits and fully understand the importance of these images.

My passion for photography started at a young age thanks to my parents giving me all their old cameras over the years.  The first camera I purchased for myself was a medium-format Hasselblad.  I shot my first few years of weddings on film. In my own time I also like to photograph people and am also interested in street photography.  This people watching style of photography is instrumental in my development as a documentary style wedding photographer helping me to understand people more and refining my skills of being able to anticipate the next image.

To capture emotion & love and record it in an image that will be kept and looked at for years on is a beautiful thing!
