Hello! I'm Joe Topping, a (candid / relaxed) documentary wedding photographer based in Newtown, Wales.
My approach - to capture your wedding day as it happens with minimal posing or interruptions, (quick group photos!)
Experience BA (Hons) Degree in Photography. 10 years of experience photographing weddings.
My Approach I blend into the background and let your day unfold naturally. Minimal posing, maximum moments (yes ChatGPT came up with that, it’s so cheesy I had to keep it. I’m all about transparency and honesty (no hidden costs, etc)
Why I Do This I’ve been captivated by documentary photography since childhood – the power of ordinary moments becoming extraordinary with time. It’s a real privalege to be asked to create “memory capsules” for others.
What Sets Me Apart I take on a maximum of 12 weddings per year so I’m basically “on call” for anything you need from the moment you book me (and 6 months after the wedding date). Every image is personally edited by me, no AI messing up your images. Oh, and you’ll be supporting a small business! I’m not in this to make lot’s of money, I just love any opportunity to use my camera. Plus, weddings can be quite challenging and test my abilities, which I enjoy!
Editing Style Punchy and modern, yet timeless and “a bit retro” or so I have been told. Skin-tone focused so everyone looks their best. I offer clean, high contrast black and white images too with every photo package.
Long story short - I capture genuine moments with minimal posing, that way you can remember more of what happened!
