John Sanders Weddings | London Photographer - Hackney
From Pop Bands to Portraits, a Versatile Pro PHOTOGRAPHER
For me, it’s always been about people and light. I have been behind a camera for my entire professional life. Before I started photographing weddings I started out photographing Pop Bands for Smash Hits Magazine. I still have a commercial photography business photographing in the Educational Sector, Celebrity Portraiture and Advertising. Then, about ten or so years ago, I dipped a toe into wedding photography and rapidly became hooked. Documentary wedding photography condenses everything I love about being behind a camera: people, stories, raw emotion, plus some pretty splendid locations to boot.
