CORNWALL - BASED WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY BY BEN SELWAY

Ben is a Cornwall wedding photographer who combines an authentic juxtaposition of elegant photography and story telling with humour and raw emotion

my approach

I know that a wedding can be an interesting melting pot filled with a mixture of romance, emotion, hilarity, elegance and the inevitabLe moments of unglamorousness. Therefore, I feel it’s important to document peoples’ big day with an accurate representation of what occurred at your huge event. Like a fly on the wall, my aim is not the centre of attention - I’m there only to record of what actually happened on the day, not just a glossy, over-photoshopped veneer. I believe, as a story teller, it’s my job to deliver a beautiful set of photos including all of the funny moments and mandatory mishaps along the way. It is my job to make sure that when you guys look back through your photos when you’re all old and wrinkly, you re-live your day chuckling and guffawing at what an incredible event it was.

I genuinely feel passionate about taking it all back to the roots, albeit with the same documentary style and creative twist. it’s not for everyone, I know that, but i’m guessing if you found me you are after something different and nostalgic. We are the black sheep of the wedding community and go against the grain from digital Photography. I know it could be considered super niche, I mean who shoot’s 35mm wedding’s for goodness sake?! But I can hold up my hand up that I am one of the select few who snaps away on glorious celluloid.
