About Me - Candid Wedding Photography
Hi I’m Connor, the photographer behind Connor McClelland Photography :-)
I’m a Surrey and Hampshire based wedding photographer with a love of capturing natural moments. I was first introduced to photography by my uncle who is also a wedding photographer when I was 11 years old, and shot my first wedding when I was 16 years old. In my spare time you’ll find me spending quality time with my friends, family and my fiancée, cheering at the rugby, or attempting to master the perfect Guinness pour!
With my laid back approach, I offer unobtrusive and natural wedding photography in the Surrey and Hampshire area. But I frequently photograph all over the UK and Ireland. My photography style is modern, fun and candid.
If you’re a laid back couple looking for a relaxed wedding photographer and you’d like to work together, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch. You can contact me via my contact form linked below.
About Shannon - the brains behind the business
This about section wouldn’t feel complete without introducing the second member of the CMP team. Meet Shannon, my fiancée, the marketing guru, and brains behind the business!
She works 9-5 as a graphic designer and spends her evenings and weekends continuing the creativity. You could find her painting, crafting, or brainstorming the next move for the business.
Whether she’s scheduling social media content, or designing my marketing materials, this business wouldn’t be where it is today without her.
My Approach
Unobtrusive.
I know how stressful planning and executing a wedding can be. I’ll be stood back and out of your way so that you can get on with your day uninterrupted and stress-free.
Relaxed.
My approach is relaxed and easy going. Rather than plan your photos to a T, we’ll think of a few types of shots you might want and then I’ll let the day unfold with these in mind.
Unposed.
I won’t force you into any fake poses and uncomfortable situations that feel unnatural. Instead I’ll capture the real moments so you can remember how your day really was.
I know how daunting being in front of a camera can be
Fun fact: I hate being in front of the camera which is why you’ll find me firmly planted behind it! I understand how awkward posing can be which is why I do my best to blend into the background on your wedding day so that people think I’m just another guest.
Your wedding photos will be the one thing you’ll have to look back on after your wedding, which is why it’s important to capture all of the real and wonderful moments rather than the fake, posed ones. I love doing what I do for that reason exactly. Whether it’s the father of the bride seeing his daughter in her wedding dress for the first time, or the laughs and tears from the speeches. I know how meaningful these moments are, which is why I work my hardest to ensure you have them to look back on for years to come.
