Check out his portfolio and you will not see any pretty pictures of brides and grooms holding hands running through backlit meadows of daisies. Weldon captures weddings as they happen. His images are honest and raw and exciting. His work has been highly praised and recognized world wide including being named as one of the best 10 wedding photographers in the world in previous years.

Words of wisdom from one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century

Above: Image, Henri Cartier Bresson FRANCE. Paris, Avenue du Maine, 1932 “Portraits are the only thing in which photography surpasses painting” —Henri Cartier Bresson Henri Cartier Bresson was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. I love his environmental portraits of artists. One of his favourite techniques to capture an unguarded moment was to ask his sitter a question and shoot just before they answered. Here are a few of my favourite images: Above: Paris, 1961. The French poet, André BRETON, at his favourite café, The Promenade of Venus. Breton meets with his young followers. The newspaper salesman passes by and Breton buys the “Paris Soir”. Above: US writer Arthur MILLER, 1961 Above: Paris, St Germain des Pres, 1947. Simone de BEAUVOIR, French writer In this interview Cartier Bresson shares some great insights.
