I consider myself to be a documentary wedding photographer that also loves taking editorial/stylish environmental portraits in a fun and fast manner!
The 35mm focal length covers my storytelling needs and when used at its widest aperture of f/1.4 it provides beautiful bokeh when it comes to portraits and detail shots.
The 35mm Sony GM lens is an absolutely stunning piece of glass. It’s so fast to focus, gives crystal clear shots every time, and the bokeh it produces has such a lovely character to it. Its small enough to not be intimidating when up close photographing people, but big enough to make you realise you’ve got a quality professional piece of kit with you… put simply, you get what you pay for with this lens!
I love just weaving in and out of groups of guests, snapping away with this simple setup, capturing gorgeous candids of people that obviously know I’m there, but are oblivious to the fact that I’ve quickly raised the camera to my face and taken a photo of them having fun and enjoying the day.
35mm has been my favourite focal length for over 10 years now and I know I could easily shoot a whole wedding on this lens alone… because I have done!
Here’s a selection of shots taken at my most recent wedding in London. The lovely celebration of Harry and Jakes marriage at Hackney Town Hall and Clapton Country Club. I also shot with my 20mm and 85mm at this wedding, but below are just my favourite black and white frames that I shot with the 35mm.
