Most event photography goes wrong before the day. Someone books the cheapest quote, or whoever their mate recommended, and finds out in the gallery that the photographer can't cope with a dark room.

It's a fair question. Weddings dominate the photography market in South Yorkshire, and I'd be lying if I said the money wasn't tempting. But the honest answer is that I've never been drawn to it — not because there's anything wrong with wedding photography, but because it's simply not where my instincts live.  My instincts live in documentary. In real moments. In the kind of image that doesn't ask permission.
