Two families, one long day at the coast, and a couple who just wanted to feel present.
Equipment used: Two full-frame bodies, a 35mm and 85mm prime, and a small on-camera flash for the reception once the sun went down.
The goal
Wanjiru and Kevin didn't want a day full of posed group shots. They wanted to actually be at their own wedding, and get real photos out of it anyway.
Planning
We walked the venue two weeks out, mapped the light for each ceremony time, and built a shot list short enough to leave room for things we couldn't plan for.
Behind the scenes
A second shooter covered the groom's side while I stayed close to Wanjiru getting ready — that's where the quiet, unscripted moments usually happen.
Lighting
Available light for the ceremony, timed around golden hour for the couple's portraits, and bounced flash for dancing after dark.
On the day
Minimal direction — mostly just staying close and ready. The few posed shots were kept short and loose rather than stiff.
The edit
A warm, filmic grade across the whole gallery so it reads as one story rather than a folder of separate photos.
What we learned
The best wedding photos usually happen in the gaps between the planned moments — so we've learned to protect that unstructured time on the schedule.
From the gallery
“We forgot the camera was even there half the time. Then we saw the photos.”— Wanjiru, Wanjiru & Kevin
