Evening Wedding Photos
Your evening party is one of the most enjoyable parts of the day.
The energy changes, the music starts, and everyone relaxes.
I stay for the full day, so nothing is missed.
You get natural, honest photos of the dance floor, the moments between songs, and the little things that happen when people forget the camera is there.
Why Evening Photos Matter
Evening photos bring your story together. You get the movement, the colour and the celebrations that complete the day. These photos often end up being the ones couples share the most with friends and family.
First Dance Photos
The first dance is a short moment with a lot happening around you. I stay close to the action without blocking anyone’s view. I keep the lighting simple so the focus stays on you and the people around you.
You can plan the first dance right after cake cutting or welcome drinks, and I aim to capture it before most evening guests join the dance floor.
Real Dance Floor Moments
Once the music takes over, everything becomes natural and unscripted. These are quick, honest scenes that show what the party really felt like.
You get a mix of close expressions, big reactions and wider dance floor shots.
I love capturing the dance floor as people really let their hair down! I typically stay 1- 2 hours after the first dance to capture all of the fun and madness that ensues!

Sunset Photos
If the weather allows, sunset is a short window for warm, soft light.
We step out for two or three minutes, get a couple of relaxed portraits, and then head straight back to your guests.
It works well between the wedding breakfast and the evening party.
Sunset photos work best in the 20 minutes before the sun goes down, and if there is no visible sunset we find soft light or creative shade to keep your photos warm and flattering.
Sparkler Photos
Sparklers are simple and fun.
I help line everyone up, keep things safe, and guide the moment so the photo looks clean and natural.
Whether you want a tunnel or a small group, we keep it quick so you stay present with your guests.
Sparklers work best with groups of 6 to 20 people about 30 to 60 minutes after sunset when the light is low and the effect is strongest, especially with blue hour light!
Night Portraits
Night portraits take only a few minutes and give you a dramatic image without stopping the party for long.
We use a quiet corner, some soft light, and a quick setup.
These photos sit well at the end of your gallery.
I usually fit night portraits in after your dance party coverage and make them the last photo of the night.
It gives you both time for a 5-10 minute breather from the dance floor another quality few moments for you together but also gives you a truly unique photo to end your gallery!
Signature Editorial Group Photos
These cinematic group images have become a signature part of my work.
Designed quickly on the day, they create bold, stylish portraits with an editorial feel.
