"I do not photograph in a ‘documentary style’ I am a documentary Photographer!"
John Warburton
"It’s the spontaneous that I like to Photograph, a glance, a smile, a tear, a kiss moments that cannot be contrived – Pure emotion"John Warburton
"Photography is all about light, and if I can bring a little light into someone’s life I am happy."
Gail Warburton
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever …It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten every thing”.

Johns career in Photography as a documentary photographer began when he was still an undergraduate at West Surrey College of Art and Design, Farnham, having being pointed out to Michael Collins by Martin Parr.
"When I met john, I liked his work and found him a nice sincere guy…you won’t take pictures of that quality unless you are trusted by your subjects"

Since then Johns work has been exhibited in Art Galleries through out the U.K and Europe. John has consciously kept his style and applied it to his wedding work, in his unique and original documentary style John spends the day soaking up the atmosphere in and around the wedding party sizing up the visual, looking for the emotional, a 1/60th of a second here,1/ 25th of a second there.
By the end of the day he has photographed hundreds of lyrical moments from your day. This is the essence of his style, natural, quiet, unobtrusive, pure documentary.
Gail’s approach to wedding photography compliments Johns perfectly. Her photography is considered, intimate and original. Gail possesses the knack of being able to make people relax and smile, she is a people person. After leaving West Surrey College of Art & Design, Gail set up her own studio in Brighton and throughout the nineties produced wholly original portraits and still life images. It was during this time that Gail perfected her sense of composition and control of light and shade. In her spare time one would often find her browsing magazines or buzzing about London taking in the latest exhibition looking for the new and inspirational.
Now concentrating exclusively on wedding photography Gail captures the romance and beauty of you and your guests.
Preferring not to create her photographs in one big afternoon "Photo shoot", Gail likes to take the bride and Groom (and Guests) away to one side for periods through out the day.
Constantly checking on Pre determined locations around your wedding venue when she sees that the "light is just right" she will whisk you away for a few minutes to get the perfect picture.
One only has to look at her previous work and list of recommendations to see that she is a natural.
