Judith Parkyn Photography Full Description
My approach as a documentary wedding photographer is discreet and unobtrusive, meaning I observe rather than direct. I capture your day as it happens and everything that makes it unique as well as the moments you loved and the bits you may not have seen. My increasing army of happy customers say their photos bring back the emotions and excitement of the day, and that’s exactly what I aim for. If you’re looking for a discreet, unobtrusive photographer to capture your day “as it happens” get in touch to check my availability.

We are beyond happy with our photos!! We are so in love with them and we love every single picture! We really love the natural shots of the guests and the shots you have caught of our family, they are so precious! They are beyond my wildest dreams! Thank you so much for capturing our special day, we can really feel the vibe and the shots of the hand made decorations we just adore! It was an absolute pleasure to meet you, you are amazing at what you do and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we have some beautiful photos to treasure forever!

We really couldn't be happier

We really couldn't be happier with our wedding photos from Judith, they're perfect. We met beforehand to go through the timetable of the day and our particular needs, talking to Judith was really helpful for us to get an idea of what we wanted. On the day itself she was calm, lovely and she was incredibly helpful. The pictures that resulted were natural and special. We've had a lot of compliments about the pictures, and I would definitely recommend Judith to others.

Judith was an absolute star!

Judith was an absolute star! She was professional, kind and flexible in her approach, so as to make our day easy. The photos were wonderful, everyone looked perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!

Her photos were everything we hoped they would be

Judith photographed our intimate wedding at Clevedon Pier this summer and her photos were everything we hoped they would be. As well as her flawlessly composed portrait shots, Judith's skill really shows in her ability to capture beautifully observed small moments which would have passed unnoticed had she not been there... but don't just take this recommendation, look at her work, it clearly speaks for itself.

Her attention to detail is fantastic

Judith did a great job for us on and before our wedding day. Her attention to detail is fantastic and she knew how to manage our expectations. We had a lot of guests which most commented to say how she captured the atmosphere of the day - it was a very happy, fun day! Afterwards we received our photos in a lovely box and I can't wait to order the photo album, another brilliant touch. Thank you, from The Willis'

We couldn't be happier with our photos

Judith photographed our wedding at The Barn at Berkeley in November 2018. She made the whole process very easy and relaxed, as neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of the camera! At times we even forgot Judith was there as she was so discreet! She captured all of the important moments of the day in a natural way and we couldn't be happier with our photos! We would highly recommend Judith Parkyn Photography!

She went above and beyond

Judith was our photographer at the end of February 2019 at Cripps Barn. From our initial contact with Judith right up until she provided us with the photos (a few prints and the usb in the most beautiful wooden inscribed box) has been an absolute pleasure. I am a fan of natural photos as well as black and white and this is exactly what was delivered, capturing many things that we would otherwise had missed if we were only interested in portrait shots as she seamlessly wandered around capturing all the special moments. From the moment Judith arrived on the morning of the big day she went above and beyond and had a bum bag of goodies, including extra hair clips and pins for button holes! We can’t recommend Judith enough and should the need arise for a photographer at future events in our lives, we would not hesitate to call her up.

Absolutely AMAZING

We couldn't wait, as soon as I got back we had to have a look at the photos... and they are absolutely AMAZING!! Better than we could have ever imagined, you really captured every moment of the day beautifully and also how much everyone (especially us!) enjoyed it. Thank you a million times over!

Can’t thank her enough or recommend higher!

Having Judith be a part of our day was quite special as she has attended all 3 of me and my 2 sisters' weddings, either as a guest or photographer. She was absolutely amazing on our day and was very much a part of ensuring the smooth running of events. She was so friendly and organised and ensured we got all the photos we wanted plus capturing many candid pics of all our guests and the venue. Can’t thank her enough or recommend higher! Thanks so much Judith!

We were blown away by the results

Judith photographed our wedding on 13th August, and we were blown away by the results! She came out to the venue for a pre-wedding meeting to find out what we wanted to captured from the day and talked us through potential ideas! Our wedding was rustic, natural and very DIY and we wanted the pictures to be informal and fun. Neither of us are very fond of having our picture taken but Judith made it so easy and comfortable throughout the day, we barely noticed the pictures were taking place! Judith captured so many amazing parts of the day that we didn't see ourselves and it's so nice to have them all to look back on. All of our guests look so happy and relaxed in the pictures and everyone has commented on how fantastic they are. We honestly can't recommend her enough, now we just have the tough decision of how many wedding pictures we can fit on our walls! Thank you so much Judith!

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

I've shot between 100-200 weddings and every single one of those days will stay with me forever. If I had to pick one that stands out it would be Kelsey's & Andy's boho-style wedding at Fforest Farm in Wales. If you like the great outdoors like me, you'll love this place. Think campfires, woodfired pizza and guests glamping onsite. They even have their own pub! The day started with a ceremony in a quarry in the forest and ended with everyone dancing the night away in a giant tipi. Extra special was the world's most stunning sunset across the fields. To see this day in all its glory head on over to my blog.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Natural, candid, fun, informal, authentic

What about your business are you most proud of?

All of the tremendous reviews I've had from my couples over the years.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Don't follow the "rules" or traditions because you think it's the done thing. Do you what you like and what best suits you as a couple.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Once I've received your enquiry I will arrange a phone call with both of you. I don't have a brochure for environmental reasons and I think it's much nicer to talk on the phone (or in person) to give you the opportunity to ask me questions. No two weddings are the same after all and I'd love to hear all about your plans for your big day. If you'd like to proceed once you've spoken to me, I will email you a contract and I also ask for a £200 deposit to secure the date for you. Approximately one month before your wedding we'll touch base again. You can then bring me up to speed with all of your plans in a lot more detail. We would cover things like timings, where you're getting ready, group photos if you'd like any and anything else I'd need to know about. That way all three of us know exactly what to expect on the day itself.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

I was once asked to photoshop a T-Rex into an image. As a documentary photographer who captures the wedding day "as it happens" this request was most unusual. The couple in question, Charlotte & Rob, really liked my natural style but also wanted something a little different. Their lego/sunflower themed wedding wouldn't be complete without a shot of them and their bridal party running away from a giant dinosaur. I like to go above and beyond so I embraced their request and am very pleased to say that Charlotte & Rob now have a photo of themselves and their friends running across a field with an angry T-Rex in tow. (You won't see this image on my portfolio because it's not my usual style but by all means contact me if you'd like to see it!)

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Umbrellas! Nice umbrellas make some for great photos in the rain.
