documentary wedding photographer in staffordshire for couples who want a brilliant day!

Weddings aren’t photoshoots. They’re real, messy, emotional, loud, unpredictable days full of genuine moments. And that’s exactly what I am there for.

I’m Odette a Staffordshire based documentary wedding photographer capturing the real stuff! You don’t need to perform, you don’t need to know what you’re doing.

All I need from you is simple, have the best time of your lives! PROPERLY! UNFILTERED! Completely immersed in your day! I will take care of the rest.

I regularly photograph weddings across Staffordshire, Cheshire, Shropshire and the wider West Midlands and I’m always happy to travel further afield covering all of the UK and worldwide.

you might be my kind of people if…..

You’re already thinking we’re awkward in photo’s

You don’t want to be dragged away for a photoshoot

You value moments over perfection

You want to spend time with your people

You’d rather laugh your way through your day than pose for it

i’m not going to line you up for 40 minutes of awkward photos

I think we’ve all been to a wedding where couples and their guests are hanging around awkwardly waiting for their pictures to be taken. I’m not going to do that, yes I take group photo’s and couples portraits, they are important, but I have a way of working that means they are captured quickly, efficiently and allow you to carry on having the time of your lives with all of your guests

“Odette is the most fantastic photographer, but most importantly, just a really lovely person! She is down to earth, easy to talk to, and put us both at ease. On the day, she seamlessly fit into the day, and made everyone feel comfortable.”

this is what it looks like when you let go of the shot list and live in the day.

No choreography. No pauses for the camera. No trying to make it look like something it’s not.

Just the day, as it unfolds, messy, beautiful, unpredictable. The kind of moments you can’t plan, only be present for.

I’m not here to tick boxes or recreate someone else’s version of a wedding. I’m there for what actually happens when you stop trying to control it.

And that’s where the real stuff lives.

If this sounds like your kind of thing, let’s chat.

Tell me about your plans, your people and what you want your day to feel like.
