This is Patrick Engel – Collection Three Judge
It’s an honour to announce that Patrick Engel will be one of our Collection Three judges! One half of a couple shooting team with his wife Rosa, Patrick is based in Germany and shoots all over the world. I love the life; the humour and joy of weddings that Patrick captures; it’s a real honour to have him casting his eyes over Collection Three.
Ask The Photographers: Are Two Photographers Better Than One?
Something that comes up so much during a search for a wedding photographer is the question about numbers; do you work with a second photographer? Are two really needed? Can you capture groom prep as well as bridal prep if you shoot solo? Can you still be discrete if there are more than one of you? We thought that we’d ask our members – all fantastic documentary wedding photographers themselves – about their thoughts on the subject.
Just like our first ‘Ask The Photographers’ piece we published last week (which was all about how to choose your wedding photographer), what follows is an exhaustive and incredibly interesting opinion-piece, straight from the mouths of wedding photographers themselves (from 30 of our members), this time answering the question “Are two photographers better than one?”

Today is no exception, and it’s an honour to welcome the fab Luke Bell to the site to tell us all about this brilliant emotional and artistic capture:
This is Sanne De Block – Collection Three Judge
So excited to announce Sanne De Block as one of our Collection Three judges! Based in Belgium and shooting all over the world, I absolutely love Sanne’s work; such dramatic and dynamic documentary captures – it’s a real honour to have her on the panel for Collection Three.
This Is How: ‘The Wedding Singers’ by Tobias Löhr
It’s an honour today to welcome the Germany-based TiR member Tobias Löhr to the site, where he takes us behind the scenes of this fantastic image. I just love the composition and storytelling within a single frame here; brilliant image!
