Why I love being a UNION CLUB wedding photographer
The art and curios which fill the Union Club provide so many options for creative wedding photography. It’s such a cool, bohemian space and its Greek Street location is fun, colourful and exciting! It’s a wedding venue I love to go back to, and a favourite with free-spirited, fun couples – my people! The Union Club attracts weddings where the priority is laughter, connection, amazing food and glorious entertainment. It’s a perfect match for documentary wedding photography, meaning you don’t waste time posing for photos, but make the most of your day while I capture all those little sparks of connection and love between you and your guests.
REAL WEDDINGS from the Union Club
Aoidin & Joshua’s stylish wedding at the Union Club was brilliant. Aoidin looked amazing in Vivienne Westwood and Josh didn’t look too bad either in his Beggars Run Suit. A gorgeous day filled with laughter and character.
Pippa & Al’s wedding at the Union Club was unforgettable. They filled the dining room with smiles and laughter, in a really personal ceremony which felt relaxed and authentic.
My approach to Union Club wedding photography
Your Union Club wedding photography will be informal, candid, and joyful. It’s you and your guests that will make your day shine: the little moments of connection, the authenticity of hugs and laughter and love that make a wedding such a glorious occasion. That’s what I’ll capture – and in fabulous technicolour so you can relive your wedding day through your images in years to come.
WHY CHOOSE ME AS YOUR UNION CLUB WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
I specialise in documentary wedding photography, which fits the Union Club like a glove. This isn’t a venue for posing, for straight-to-camera “say cheese” grins or for awkward moments. It’s a place where life unfolds and your heart and soul shine through. That’s what I’ll capture in your wedding photos: the authenticity of your wedding and the personalities that make the day amazing.
“I love people. The glorious, witty, gorgeous humanness of people…I can’t get enough of it. I will bob about your wedding, keeping my eyes peeled for beautiful pockets of realness. Those twinkly moments that would otherwise disappear into the ether, the ones that make you go: “Oh, THAT’S why we hired Jordanna.”
