Josie Richardson Photography

My photography is about capturing authenticity with beautiful images and I do this using film over digital when photographing weddings. There’s a richness of texture and colour in film that just hasn’t translated to digital yet. Come evening the digital camera takes over but during the day film is where’s it at for me. Film’s ability to capture beautiful light is still unmatched and I absolutely adore it.

I believe that every couple should have their own story to tell and therefore have photos which are not a replica of the wedding I shot last month or last year. My style of photography is predominantly documentary. I prefer images of people being themselves during real and un-orchestrated moments. Most of us are not models or actors and so on, we are people going about our lives being exactly that - everyday people. Even if we are well used to being on a stage of some sort, it’s only when we are ourselves in front of the camera are our true personalities revealed. That is what I’m after. Sure I’ll do some posing but what I really want is to document you interacting with the people around you. The people you love. The people that matter. That is when images which take you back to that very time and place, are created. The photographs you can look at months and years later, which still bring a smile to your face. If it sounds like this kind of style will work for you, then let's chat.
