Our Approach

Our Approach to your Wedding at Birmingham based John Charlton Photography

Here at Birmingham based John Charlton Photography, our approach is simple. We are as much a part of your wedding day as any one of the guests. Because of this we realise the need to build a good rapport with everyone on the day to be a valuable part of the background. Our approach is always friendly, as you will see from the first phone call.

All of our wedding packages include a pre-wedding photography session. This gives both of us the opportunity to get to know each other a little more before the big day. For those people who aren’t used to having their photograph taken, it’s a great time to get use to being in front of the camera. It also allows you to see how we work in capturing beautiful wedding photographs. The pre-wedding photograph session can take place either in a location near to you or at the wedding venue itself – and should you want to glam it up a little, we can also provide a make-up artist to make you look a million dollars!

We understand that doesn’t matter where you are getting married or who you are getting married to, we’ll be there to follow and photograph everything! We try to approach the natural events of the day by letting them take their course, making sure that you get the photographs that you want! After the ceremony, we arrange formal group photographs (with the help of the best man or usher..) and then once he has taken the group photographs you want, he will spend some time with you both to capture some beautiful intimate pictures of you and your new spouse. This gives you a period of time to relax away from your guests and to actually enjoy your wedding day, whilst your guests are enjoying the reception.

We will work with you both from the first meeting to discuss your plans, right through to your first dance. From your perspective, it’s almost like having a wedding planner as well as a photographer because we will help you put together the lists of photographs that you want – such as making sure that you get a photograph of your grandmother! This also means that we can work with you to include enough time in the day to get the photographs of you and your new spouse that you want!

We’ve put together a short video of John shooting a recent wedding from this year below – it gives you an idea of how John work’s and the style of his images. We hope you like it!
