Our Method

Getting married a few years ago ourselves gave us a good understanding of what couples actually want on their wedding day. We can say with confidence that beyond the teary vows and emotional first look, everyone just wants to have a freaking good time filled with love, laughter and too many canapés. That's why you and your happiness are always our top priority, not our portfolio. sorry portfolio. 

That's not to say the photos don't matter because (apart from the rings on your fingers) they are all you have left after the day is done but we believe that having amazing memories to associate with them is just as important. To us this priority has never been a compromise as a photo always tells the truth, if you are having a blast then your pictures will reflect that, no effort required on your part. Our couples always tell us that the images they love the most were the ones they didn't even know about until they looked through their gallery. real, authentic, honest, Them.

 Having owned a successful street photography business prior to 'Lulu and Scott' we spent years learning how to work incognito and tell stories through the details. We don't need to turn your day into an endless photoshoot to achieve emotive, story telling galleries. We work in the least intrusive way possible, using natural light as much as we can. After shooting among bands and weddings with epileptics present we have learnt how to achieve the most ambient and dynamic dancefloor photos while keeping the flash to an absolute minimum, most weddings we don't need to use flash at all! Your retinas will thank us, as well as your guests.

The real secret to our success is eachother As a husband and wife team we are scarily in sync. There are so many more reasons why this is essential to our method but here are just a few bullet points, (yeahhh! Bullet points, feels good)

• More gets captured, less gets missed.
• We are more able to use distraction tactics and bad dad jokes to create naturally joyous imagery. 
• Capturing alternate angles is flattering, we all wanna look s**t hot 🔥 on our wedding day right?
• Two perspectives on your wedding, maybe you like those candid belly laugh moments but you also value those fine art portraits and heartfelt candids. Have it all. 
• Constantly backing up those important moments
• Two eyes on the editing of your wedding gallery makes the final product even more perfect.
• no-one misses out on prep.
• no rushing around, with two we always have time so we can take things slower and offer a more chilled approach to group shots and portraits.

 Say goodbye the stuffy formal photographers of yesteryear .We know nothing kills the vibe more than an overzealous photographer getting up in everyone's business, telling people to put their drinks down and huddle together for another photo of everyone looking uncomfortable. That's just not our style. That's why we dress and act like two extra guests on your wedding day.

Our method means seamlessly integrating ourselves into your social groups so that everyone feels at ease in our company. We do this by taking the time to get to know your nearest and dearest, offering a helping hand wherever we can and cracking light hearted dad jokes at every opportunity. we find this enables us to capture people at their finest with their guards down.

If you just want a couple of kind, honest human beings who value your loved ones just as you do, look no further. We are loved by Nans, little people and even grumpy uncle pete!

  Most people have had a negative photo shoot experience in their lives, even if it's just being asked to pose at an event, leaving them feeling disheartened because the photos were so bad they've had to un tag them all on social media. Traditional style portraits don't work for everyone. In fact you may be comforted to know this is how the majority of people (us included) feel in front of a lens with the exception of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. That man exudes another level of self certainty mere mortals can only dream of. 

Your comfortability on the day is important to us, that's why we will always ask you individually prior to the day whether you would like candid's only, staged photos (minimal prompts in front of a lovely background) or staged and posed (with body positioning). you can always select to see how it goes on the day if you are unsure. You may be surprised how much you enjoy it!

Couples portraits should reflect who you actually are, whether that be silly, romantic or just plain weird together. Obviously we take forward facing portraits for mum but we also think its important to have real and authentic imagery that defines your relationship. Even if that's you both having your scheduled mid day nap together. 

We use only Fujifilm cameras and lenses, as the only camera manufacturer to offer in camera 'film simulations' and a high level of control over functionality using dials etc. We find that Fujifilm works the best at delivering unique artistic imagery despite the fact it isn't trustable in anything AUTO. We were never good at being told what to do, so it fits us perfectly, the hard way is sometimes the best way especially for us rebellious types.  We use our own custom film simulatons which gives us our 'film like' signature style that you won't see anywhere else, based on vintage film stocks with our own modern twist. Our images are edited and checked by us both to ensure a consistent look.

Scott uses a X-H2S and X-T4 his favourite lens is a 35mm f1.4.

Lulu totes a X-H2 and XH2S her favourite lens is a 56mm f1.2

We have dual LED video light sticks on tripods for when the dark lighting conditions would affect image quality. We don't use these unless absolutely necessary.

We always bring flash equipment with us as a last resort but as these are intrusive we limit their use heavily so that you and your guests can retain functional retinas and more importantly feel good 'dancing in the dark' vibes.
