If you don’t need a photo of your bridesmaids all lined up, this is for you. If you’re a little lost in wedding photography choices and just want gorgeous photos that are utterly real, this is for you. If you want to immerse yourselves in every second of your wedding day, and not have to worry about posing for photos, you’ve come to exactly the right place.

We’ve got a brilliant collection of images from Aoife and Rory’s Clapton Country Club wedding to share with you. But they’re different from many images you’ll see on wedding blogs and in magazines. They’re so full of life, vibrant and authentic. They’re by some of the very best documentary wedding photographers in the world: London-based York Place Studios.

Scrolling through Aoife and Rory’s images, you’ll see people, characters, and moments bursting with joy and fun and love. While wedding blogs can focus on details, amazing florals and styling, your wedding photos exist not just to remind you of your day, but to let you relive it, over and over again.

So this is wedding photography which tells a beautiful story. Aoife and Rory’s images capture their personalities and their delight and excitement all through the celebrations. Their wedding day is told artfully in exceptional images, and with humour and love.

And yes, the dress is insane and amazing and Aoife looks stunning. The city wedding venue is awesome. The bridesmaids look fabulous. The flowers are unique and wonderful.

But this wedding story is about people, love and human connection – and it’s one of the most incredible weddings we’ve ever shared. I hope you love it too!

As always, I’ll share my absolute favourite photos on instagram at @englishweddingblog.

If you’re curious about documentary wedding photography and would like to find out more, this is a really informative and useful explanation by York Place Studios. I love how it explains what documentary is and what it’s not, and how the YPS team explain words like reportage, candid, wedding photojournalism and more in a really accessible way.
