I am a French wedding photographer based in Manchester.
My experience as a journalist for a newspaper in France helped me to develop a reportage style which will give a natural look to your photos.

Thomas Demol Full Description
I love weddings. Everyone is at their best and I want to capture your big day as it happens rather than posing your guests all the time.
I use a combination of documentary photography and candid style. In other words, I will mostly stay in the background to photograph natural shots and will step in to organise your formal group photos. I also capture the little details that you will treasure as souvenirs: table decorations, cake, flowers…The things that you spend so long choosing but that will only last for the day.
During the day, it’s important to keep some time for a few portrait photos of the bride and groom. It’s YOUR day after all but the session is kept brief to make sure you can spend plenty of time with your guests rather than the photographer.

What is your most memorable wedding?
A few years ago. I photographed a bride who was battling brain cancer. Instead of presents, they asked people to make a donation for cancer research. I had no idea about this until I saw the table with all the details about it. I suddenly felt the tears coming.
