An edgy and alternative wedding photographer is all about breaking the mold. We love capturing moments that are as unique and dynamic as you are. Forget the stiff, cookie-cutter poses – we're here to document your love story in a way that’s raw, real, and unapologetically you.

Our style is all about embracing the wild, the bold, and the beautiful chaos of your special day. 🏴‍☠️

ARTISTIC REBELS

We're not just photographers; we're artists who see the world through a different lens. Edgy and alternative means playing with shadows, light, and unexpected angles to create visually striking images. It’s about finding beauty in the unconventional and making every frame a masterpiece.

AUTHENTICITY OVER PERFECTION

Forget the filters and forced smiles. We’re here to capture your authentic selves. Whether it's a shared laugh, a stolen kiss, or that moment you both just let go and dance like no one’s watching – these are the moments we live for. It’s about documenting your love in its purest form, with all its quirks and individuality.

INCLUSIVITY AT ITS CORE

At Lovely Creatures, inclusivity is more than a buzzword – it’s our mantra. We celebrate love in all its forms, colors, and expressions. Your values and beliefs are the heart of your story, and we embrace them wholeheartedly. We’re here to make your wedding journey as delightful and inclusive as possible. 🌈

ENJOY A STRESS-FREE EXPERIENCE

Your wedding day is a whirlwind of emotion, and the last thing you need is to worry about whether it’s being captured right. Our approach is all about putting you at ease, blending into the background to catch those natural, unguarded moments while also bringing out your best for those epic, once-in-a-lifetime shots. Relax, enjoy, and live in the moment – we’ve got the memories covered. 🙌🎉

A LEGACY OF LOVE THAT BREAKS THE MOLD

When you look back on your wedding photos, we want you to feel the laughter, re-live the tears of joy, and be transported back to those moments that took your breath away. Your album won’t just be a collection of photos; it’ll be a time capsule of your love, brimming with the energy, the passion, and the magic of your special day. 📸🖤🥳

CAPTURING LOVE UNCONVENTIONALLY

EXPLORING THE WORLD OF ALTERNATIVE WEDDING IMAGERY

Wedding photography has evolved over the years, reflecting the changing preferences and personalities of couples. While traditional wedding photography still holds its charm, an increasing number of couples are seeking alternative approaches to capture their special day.

Alternative wedding photography offers a unique and creative perspective, allowing couples to celebrate their love in unconventional ways. In this article, we’ll delve into the world of alternative wedding photography and explore the various styles and techniques that make it a compelling choice for those seeking something different.


EMBRACING CANDID MOMENTS

Unlike posed and staged shots, alternative wedding photography focuses on capturing candid moments that reflect the true emotions and personalities of the couple and their guests. The photographer blends into the background, becoming an observer rather than a director, resulting in authentic and spontaneous photographs that narrate the story of the day.

ARTISTIC EXPRESSION AND CREATIVE TECHNIQUES

Alternative wedding photography embraces artistic expression, allowing photographers to experiment with unconventional techniques. From experimental lighting and double exposures to unique angles and compositions, these techniques result in visually stunning and imaginative images that stand out from the traditional wedding photography crowd.

INCORPORATING PERSONAL

INTERESTS & HOBBIES

Alternative wedding photography provides an opportunity for couples to incorporate their personal interests and hobbies into the shoot. Whether it’s a shared passion for music, art, or adventure, the photographer collaborates with the couple to create a thematic and personalized experience. This allows the images to reflect their unique love story, making them even more meaningful.

NON-TRADITIONAL LOCATIONS

Alternative wedding photography often takes couples to non-traditional locations, breaking away from the typical venues. It could be an abandoned warehouse, a graffiti-filled alley, a picturesque mountaintop, or a secluded beach. By choosing unconventional locations, couples can infuse their personality and style into the photographs, creating a distinct visual narrative.
