Using an Analogue Wedding Photographer in Exeter
Thinking about tying the knot in Exeter? This is one of the most beautiful parts of the UK to get married.
Nestled in the heart of Devon, this charming historic city is surrounded by natural beauty. It also has a relaxed atmosphere, unlike places like London, ensuring your wedding feels special without that stressed feeling people often experience in the capital.
Whether you’re dreaming of a rustic barn wedding or fancy getting married on the beach, Exeter provides so many incredible locations. It’s also a dream for a professional wedding photographer, and one of my favourite places to work in the south west.
If you’re looking for an
analogue photographer who also shoots Super 8 film, I would love to be a part of your big day.
Exeter: History Meets Natural Beauty
One of the biggest reasons couples choose Exeter for their wedding is its stunning variety of venues. Want something grand? Exeter Cathedral is a breathtaking location for a traditional ceremony. Prefer a more intimate setting? There are so many cosy barns, charming country manors and beautiful boutique hotels in and around the city.
If an outdoor celebration is more your thing, you’ve got rolling Devon hills, stunning coastal cliffs, and peaceful woodland spots all within easy reach.
Although Exeter isn’t as busy as other parts of the UK, it’s well-connected, being only a short train ride from London. It’s also easy to get to from all over Britain and has an international airport if you have guests flying from overseas.
That Classic West Country Charm
Devon is famous for its warm hospitality, and Exeter is no exception. From country pubs to charming old streets, it has a laid-back atmosphere that helps everyone feel at home. Along with being fantastic for photographers, it’s also known for its incredible food. Whether you’re after a feast fit for kings or festival-style celebrations with street food and local cider, you’ll be spoilt for choice.
Why Choose an Analogue Photographer?
So, you’ve picked Exeter for your wedding. Now, how do you make sure your photos and videos actually reflect the real magic of the day? Analogue photography and Super 8 film are an excellent choice for this type of location, and I can ensure it’s delivered to the finest standards.
Capture the Feeling, Not Just the Beauty
Digital photography can be beautiful, but it sometimes feels a little too perfect, and often comes across as staged. Analogue photography, on the other hand, captures emotion in a way that feels raw and genuine.
If you’ve ever paged through old photograph albums, you might have noticed the difference.
There’s something about film that gives photos a warmth and depth that’s hard to emulate. The slight imperfections, the soft grainy feel, the way light interacts with film: every shot feels unique, and reflects the nature of memory more than digital.
Super 8: Nostalgic, Dreamy & Romantic
If you haven’t experienced Super 8 wedding films before, you’re in for a treat. Think old home movies, that charming vintage film texture, and a completely natural, unpolished style that feels like stepping back in time.
If you don't want a slick, over-produced wedding video, Super 8 has an unbeatable heartfelt charm. As when we page through old photos from the 1950s and 1960s, it feels more like watching real memories unfold.
Unposed, Relaxed, and Totally Natural
I appreciate that most couples don’t want a wedding photographer who’s constantly shouting directions, making them feel like they’re on a magazine shoot!
I believe the best moments happen naturally, from those glances between you and your partner, through to embracing your loved ones. Working in both digital and analogue, I offer a candid, documentary style approach, with it my aim to capture the real essence of your day without making you feel like you’re in front of a camera.
A More Meaningful Approach
In a world where we’re incessantly bombarded with digital images, there’s something special about choosing a medium that possesses that nostalgic, artistic feel.
When a professional photographer is working in film, every shot matters. When I use analogue, I always carefully consider each frame, ensuring every image is imbued with meaning. When you receive your final wedding album, I want you to feel like it’s a carefully crafted story of your day.
A Wedding That Feels Real
At the end of the day, your wedding is about you and your partner, along with your guests. It’s not a photoshoot, and it’s not a production. It’s about celebrating your love in a way that feels natural, personal, and true to who you are.
Working non-obstrusively in the background, I want to ensure you enjoy every moment, from the laughter to those intimate glances and the wild dancefloor antics. I will capture everything in a natural, emotionally moving way.
