About Joan Chatfield

I am married with 4 adult children and 6 Grandchildren. There are no more photographed people than my family and there is always a smile for the camera. They are well trained!!

THE WEDDING

Wedding photography is not only about a piece of 
'fine-art' for the wall and album, but also an experience. Wedding shoots need to be fun and adventurous, it's how I get the very best from the bride and groom. When the bridal party is laughing and enjoying themselves in a relaxed atmosphere, this makes the final images fantastic!.... and a relaxed bride is a happy bride!

I love my job and photography is my true passion... so wedding shoots are just as exciting for me as for those attending the day.

My Style is natural and using natural lighting where possible. I want the fantastic looking happy shots not the posed frozen looks.

I photograph in a documentary style, not only capturing the events, but the underlying atmosphere, the moments of emotion and small details which make up what is the overall memory of the day.

It's not just the obvious moments during the day, but also the smaller often missed ones which I enjoy shooting. Not just the big smile or the kiss, but all those moments in between. It's the 'in between' things that make up who you are.
