Summer Lovin’ | How to make the most of natural light in wedding photography

Hi, I’m Angela and my job as principal wedding photographer – Cotswolds at Angela Fitch Photography is to have a range of techniques which can turn the challenges of changeable weather on a British summer’s day into stunning summer wedding photography.

Natural light is every photographer’s ‘go-to’ lighting set up and summer photography is blessed with a range of lighting situations that can change with every passing fluffy white cloud!

We specialise in Cotswold wedding photography and our approach to any wedding is to use what we’ve got; whether that’s the flat light of an overcast day, brilliant sunshine that brings with it highly dramatic shadows and contrast or we may even turn the odd shower into sparkling memories for you to enjoy as part of your collection.

The essential element of any wedding day shoot is that your wedding day is exactly that, ‘Your Day’. It’s our privilege to be invited and we work alongside you, your family and friends to capture a collection of summer wedding photography that you will treasure today and for years to come.

If your wedding is going to be a Cotswold wedding you need a Cotswold wedding photographer; someone who knows all about, not just the wonderful light and the depth and range of stretched shadows across this astoundingly beautiful area, but also somebody who understands people. We work discretely, some couples have told us that they barely noticed us at all, which is how it should be.

Our wedding day packages are flexible, you get to choose when you would like us to arrive and how long we stay for. It’s worth bearing in mind that bridal preparations often start in the cool of the morning, your ceremony might be midday or early afternoon and, of course, sunsets are much later in summer months, so if you’re looking for those beautiful bride and groom silhouettes or have fireworks planned we’re going to be with you until later in the day.

Of course, every season brings something special to wedding photography and as specialists in wedding photography in the Cotswolds, when you invite Angela Fitch Photography to be part of your big day you’re getting years of experience and understanding, which makes the photography on your wedding day a wonderful experience and your photographs treasured memories forever.
