Mature Wedding Photography

Celebrating Love Later in Life

If you’re planning your second wedding, you’re in good company. So many couples today are finding lasting happiness in a later life marriage. Unlike first weddings, which often come with big expectations, and the pressure to impress, second weddings are refreshingly different. These weddings are rarely about putting on a show for hundreds of guests. Instead, they’re about celebrating love in a way that feels perfect for you! This blog is about mature wedding photography – capturing that magic and uniqueness.

An Age Group That Often Gets Overlooked

While the average age for marriage in the U.K. hovers around 27 or 28, there’s a whole beautiful demographic that often gets overlooked. Older couples, finding love and choosing to celebrate later in life, are often overlooked by suppliers in the wedding industry. As you scroll through most wedding blogs or planning resources, you’ll find a sea of young faces. For older couples, it can feel like there’s no one out there who looks like them, or wishes to represent their story.

Check Out My Dedicated Gallery & Albums For Second Time Weddings

And that’s simply not right! I’m hoping that the photographs I’m sharing in this post showcase how magical senior and second time around weddings really are! Older couples often provide the biggest smiles and some of the most natural shots. I even have display albums in my portfolio, and a gallery on my website which are totally dedicated to senior weddings.

What is Different about Photographing Mature Weddings?

Over the 20 plus years that I’ve been established, I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings for older couples. Honestly, I absolutely love them! These weddings are usually the most fun and relaxed of all the marriage celebrations I attend. And I totally understand that this day is about creating meaningful memories rather than capturing lots of dramatic statement shots.

A Beautiful Romance

There’s something uniquely touching about love found later in life. Perhaps it’s a second chance after loss or divorce. Perhaps it’s a first-time love that took years to arrive. Whatever the story, weddings for older couples often carry a depth of meaning, resilience, and romance that’s truly powerful.

Celebrating In Style

We’re all hopeless romantics at heart, and I believe that every love story deserves to be celebrated, loudly and proudly. Whether you’re 20 or 80, whether this is your first walk down the aisle or not, your love is valid. Your story really does matter! And your wedding is worthy of joy, beauty, and celebration.

Why Choose Me for your Mature Wedding Photography?

During my career I’ve photographed over 1,200 weddings. This experience has prepared me for almost any unexpected scenario that may crop up on the day! From tricky family situations to the most extreme weather conditions, I’ve been there many times before. And for extra piece of mind, I’m mighty proud of my 250 five star online reviews. Plus, I’m recommended by so many leading local wedding venues. I also photograph events for many international blue chip companies.

Classic Style Pictures & Nothing Too Fancy

My style of photography is classic, so I won’t be conjuring up overly staged or gimmicky poses! I’m super organised and work fast on the day capturing any necessary group shots, plus I’m good at achieving flattering poses and kind lighting at all times.

I Dress Smartly On The Day

We’ve all been to weddings where the photographer thinks it’s cool to turn up in their scruffs for the day, that’s most definitely not me! So you’ll see no trainers or t-shirts being worn by me; at every wedding I dress very smartly in a shirt, tie, waistcoat and trousers. I know how important it is to most couples that I totally blend in on the day, plus I feel it’s respectful to dress appropriately too!

Understanding What Matters Most

I wanted to write this blog post, so I could tell everyone who visits this page why older couple weddings hold a special place in my heart. In fact some of the most cherished pictures in my portfolio are from senior and second time around wedding celebrations. So if you’re looking for a photographer who truly understands what matters most in a second time around wedding, I’d love to hear from you.
