London Wedding Photographers Mark & Marianne Earthy
Our style is documentary wedding photography.
We do not arrange or control the events, we work unobtrusively in the background capturing the magic and the spontaneous emotions.
Our couples love the fact that they can simply enjoy the day and leave us to quietly document what happens around them rather than be directed and ordered around, turning the day into one long portrait shoot. Many photographers will tell you they shoot in a documentary style but very few actually do.
Our couples receive a stunning sequence of images that tell the story of their special wedding day from the early morning preparations to the first dance. We understand the need for some family group pictures and we are happy to shoot these. We also have a small relaxed portrait session with our couples and these photographs are taken in a natural way outdoors using natural light.
A limited number of commissions
To be able to give every wedding the same dedication, passion and enthusiasm that makes us love what we do we accept only a limited number of weddings per year.
Our images and your investment in them will stand the test of time
We do not use fad Photoshop filters and actions and we do not follow the latest passing wedding photography trends. Our images will stand the test of time. Our couples receive a large selection of rich colour images many of which we have also converted into timeless black & white.
