Best Wedding Photographer London
Best Wedding Photographer London, a post by David Pullum, a wedding photographer with 15 years experience of photographing weddings in London who has recently been voted one of the best wedding photographers in UK 2020
I was born in London and lived there for 29 years. I set up my wedding photography business in late 2003 with my first ever wedding in London at RSA House a few months later.
I have photographed in excess of 600 weddings in total and soon gained the reputation as one of the best wedding photographers in London, twice nominated as one of the UK's top 10 wedding photographers. I have gained international awards for my photographs, finishing 3rd in the world for a series of wedding photographers taken in 2014 and judged by an international array of photographers.
Professional Photographer Magazine also named me as one of the best winter wedding photographers in the UK.Hiring a wedding photographer for your wedding is not just about typing into Google ” best wedding photographer in London” and then hiring the company at the top of the rankings. A wedding photographer will be with you at your wedding for sometimes just 4 hours but more likely 8 hours.
You have to trust this person, you have to like them, have something in common with them and most of all like their work. Personality is a big part of my job, people like my images, but just as much as that they tend to like me and trust me to photograph their wedding with compassion. I have photographed all sorts of weddings over the last 15 years. One where one of the parents is terminally ill and will not live very long after the wedding.
To photograph that scenario is tough and to do it justice takes experience, knowledge and a lot of understanding. It’s easy to photograph a wedding on a reasonably warm day where everyone is happy, that”s the fun part of the job, and that tends to be in the summer. The difficulty arises when it”s winter, there is no light, it”s dark at 3.30pm and sometimes the ceremony is not even until 4.00pm.
Then you need skill, very good camera equipment, an understanding of light, both natural and artificial. So it was with great pride that I was nominated on of the best winter wedding photographers in the UK 3 years running.
Winter weddings can be difficult, very difficult. I have photographed weddings in marquees in the depth of winter where the theme was a nightclub, all the floors and walls were black, the only light coming from candles on the table. I walked in and immediately tripped over the step as I couldn’t see it.
I then spent the next 8 hours working my socks off looking for light and creating light.If you are reading this post and are thinking about choosing your wedding photographer I hope this has helped.
I photograph weddings all over the country and occasionally all over the world, however special discounts are available for clients that live in London, for more information please feel free to mail me through the contact page.
