Allister Freeman Photography

Hello, I'm Allister, a documentary wedding photographer based in Wiltshire. I've been capturing the essence of weddings and creating timeless portraits since 2004. My natural, unobtrusive photographic style allows me to document the genuine emotions and candid moments that unfold on a wedding day. Rather than directing posed shots, I blend seamlessly into the background, capturing the story as it naturally unfolds, resulting in authentic and emotive photographs that you'll cherish for years to come.

My experience spans diverse wedding styles, from intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, including multi-day Indian, Chinese, and Jewish weddings. I've had the privilege of photographing numerous weddings across the UK and Europe, from stately homes and historic venues to picturesque country estates and stylish urban backdrops. My ultimate aim is to deliver a collection of photographs that transcends mere snapshots, instead becoming a visual narrative of your unique day, brimming with personality and authenticity.

My Documentary Approach

I believe that the true magic of a wedding lies in the unscripted moments, the quiet glances, the shared laughter, and the heartfelt tears. My documentary wedding photography style focuses on capturing these fleeting moments with sensitivity and artistry, allowing the story of your day to unfold naturally without interruption. I strive to be a silent observer, capturing the essence of the day as it happens, ensuring that your photographs are a genuine reflection of your love story.

I eschew artificial light wherever possible, relying instead on available light to create a soft, ethereal quality that captures the atmosphere of the event. This approach results in photographs that are not only visually stunning but also deeply personal. My commitment to natural light allows the true colours and emotions of the day to shine through, creating images that are both timeless and evocative.

A Portfolio Built on Experience

Over the years, I've honed my craft through countless weddings and portrait commissions. My portfolio showcases a diverse range of wedding styles, locations, and personalities, demonstrating my ability to adapt to any situation and capture the essence of each unique event. Whether it's a grand celebration or an intimate gathering, my photographs will tell the story of your day in a way that is both beautiful and authentic.

Every wedding is a journey, a unique narrative woven with love, laughter, and shared moments. As a documentary wedding photographer, my passion is to capture these moments, to create a visual story that reflects the true essence of your special day.
