Graham Mansfield

 

What’s not to love about weddings? The happiest day of people’s lives, surrounded by all of their family and friends. I feel lucky to be invited to be part of such a special day for so many people!

I am a professional wedding photographer based in leafy Hampshire, in easy reach of London. My photographic style is contemporary and I strive to deliver creative, honest and unique images which capture the real essence of the day. I have a discreet approach which puts people at ease and understand that everyone’s wedding is unique to them. As such, its really important for me to get to know the couple as individuals so I can understand exactly what they want from their day and pictures. This is the reason I offer engagement shoots, an excuse to get to know each other better before the big day and have some fun taking beautiful pictures for you to cherish.

If my creative and relaxed approach sounds like the style of photography you would like for your big day, I’d be delighted to hear from you. Simply drop me a note via the contact page and i’d be very happy to speak on the phone or meet up for an informal chat over a coffee.

Graham is the best photographer you could hope to meet. Not only is his work very professional, stylish and creative but he is a thoroughly nice person who takes great care to ensure you get exactly what you are looking for from your photos. We first met Graham when he came to our home where he talked about what we wanted showed us some examples of his previous work. What we liked about Graham was his enthusiasm, engaging personality and the quality of his work. Prior to the big day, Graham invited us to his home for a test shoot. This helped us both get comfortable with being photographed and he taught us how to pose in a natural way. We had our 9 year old son with us and Graham took great care to make him feel included and made sure he didn’t get bored when we were doing the ‘couple only’ shots. On the day itself, Graham brought an assistant with him, who was also excellent and between the two of them they were able to capture the whole day, from many different angles. His style is relaxed and unobtrusive and, apart from the staged shots, we didn’t really notice he was there taking photos. Graham was also really good in cajoling our guests to be available for the group shots; gently assertive but not at all bossy. Shortly after the wedding, Graham sent us to a link to his professional looking website where we able to review all of the photos and select the ones we wanted for our photo album. After a couple of weeks we received a beautiful, professional elegant photo album which perfectly captured the day, along with a USB stick in a presentation case containing all of the approx. 700 photos. All in all we are over the moon with our photos and the album and can’t recommend Graham highly enough. We really believe you would be hard pushed to find a better photographer for your wedding.

Graham photographed our wedding last year (Aug 2017). We were so pleased we chose him: he made the whole process to smooth and simple for us in what can be a very stressful preparation process. He was always clear about what we could do and listened to what we wanted to make sure we would have the perfect day. Part of this was the practise shoot as it really helped us to know what it would be like on the day and also pointed out some things to be aware of on the day. On the day, Graham and Holly were a pleasure to have at our wedding. All of our friends and family have commented on how lovely they were and how they managed to do what was needed without adding any stress to the day or interrupting the running of events. Afterwards, we were given so many photos and we were amazed by Graham’s skill to not only take beautiful pictures, but to also turn them into works of art. Again, he has been so patient and helpful guiding us through the process of planning our album. We are so pleased with the results. Thank you, Graham and Holly, for your fantastic work and making our day so special! Emily and Sam Fanzo Augsut 2017
