On Your Wedding Day
Author Unknown

Today is a day you will always remember
The greatest in anyone’s life
You’ll start off the day just two people in love
And end it as Husband and Wife

It’s a brand new beginning the start of a journey
With moments to cherish and treasure
And although there’ll be times when you both disagree
These will be surely outweighed by pleasure

You’ll have heard many words of advice in the past
When the secrets of marriage were spoken
But you know that the answers lie hidden inside
Where the bond of true love lies unbroken

So live happily forever as lovers and friends
It’s the dawn of a new life for you
As you stand there together with love in your eyes
From the moment you whisper “I Do”

And with luck, all your hopes, and your dreams can be real
May success find its way to your hearts
Tomorrow can bring you the greatest of joys
But today is the day it all starts

Fotogravett Wedding Photography are thrilled you dropped in to look at our work and hope that you’ll find something you love that brings you back again and again! Photography is my passion ! Part of that passion is to create something unique and special. Something that you wouldn’t get from anywhere else. Almost all of our clients could tell you stories about how far I went out of my way to make things work.

Style
Style is everything. Gadgets are cool. Hype is cool. Trends are cool. The latest and greatest is…well…cool? Style however, is enduring. My style is a collaboration of moments, expression, love, feeling, emotion, art, all blended by eye catching compositions.

Fresh, modern and fun is my approach. When I shoot a wedding, I seek not to only capture the emotion and romance, but also to photograph the fun that takes place throughout the day.

What makes me different ? well you will find that I dont use flash 90% of the time, I try to create stunning images using latest technology, like Nikon’s D3 combined with fast lenses with apertures from F1.4 to F2.8. To get these apertures I use fast prime lenses combines with natural light.

Why do I try to avoid using on camera flash, well it creates one dimentional flat looking images. So by adding off camera flash and using reflectors to reflect natural light onto the subject I get the intended results.

Please mail or call me, I will be glad to hear from you.
