captive photography by jo hughes

the art of weddings...

My wedding photography has a recognisable fine art style, classic yet edgy, where style is paramount. My approach is to capture the wonderfully natural moments that flow but at the same time ensure all the right elements are present - strong composition, soft light, and flattering poses. My photography is as much about capturing the real emotions of a moment in time, as it is about my ability to create images. Your wedding images will all have a natural feel whilst being enhanced in a stylish flattering way. I never lose sight of the fundamentals of photography - light, composition, and emotion. I love natural light, and always seek out the best places to produce beautiful images that have a warm, soft glow.

A balance of reportage and fine art photography, captures your wedding in a way which brings together your chosen colours and wedding themes to create an overall design which tells the narrative of your wedding day in pictures.

I work quietly to catch the special moments naturally, with subtle staging along the way, allowing me to apply my unique eye to your celebrations.

I work in wedding venues across London, Surrey and Kent. I have photographed at most of the popular Surrey wedding venues around Reigate and Guildford. My prices are mid-range in the market, starting from £1000. I can work with you to decide how best to preserve your wedding photos, through a selection of albums, books, and frames. Family and friends can also view your wedding photos on a personal web gallery after the wedding.
