We took this couple into a remote location in the RM to set up a really cool fashion shoot underwater in a cave (Centoe) in the middle of the Mayan Jungle. We have provided photo examples of our set up and narrate the shoot throughout the video. Trashing the dress!
This is very inspirational, original, well done and… I think I wish for something similar for my wedding.

The true is they make a great team, and, together, a very creative style of wedding photography. While Helen is Murry Wedding Photography’s business manager, David has shot weddings all over the UK, from Castles in Scotland to central London.
Murray Wedding Photography
Unlike many others, he does not pre-arrange the bride and guest for a normal group photo, he shots instants of joy and emotions like a photojournalist hunting for moments. He shoots in a style that blends pure documentary photography with an artistic edge.

Also, he focuses on details: from the bride’s ring, the flowers, the eyes, to the look of a single man in the big church.
I noticed that most of his photography is black&white, adding more to the emotions captured by the camera.
