I like to present a complete visual story of your wedding day &#8211; wherever that may be &#8211; approaching each unique moment with a genuine passion for my craft.<\/p>\n<p>I like to describe my photography as unobtrusive, natural, and honest &#8211; a reportage-style of storytelling that celebrates every aspect of your wedding day.<\/p>\n<p>I hope my photographs speak for themselves. I pride myself in offering the highest quality documentary-wedding photography to my discerning international clients and friends.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heartinternet.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/danbold-2.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of the Weddings section of Dan Bold Photography\" width=\"650\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17207\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>How does your site support and drive your goals?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>My website provides an important showcase for my hard work, and is crucial in translating my photographic vision clearly and succinctly.<\/p>\n<p>Potential clients need to be able to interpret the information relevant to them and navigate through it effortlessly.  I believe that my website allows this.<\/p>\n<p><em>What would you say the website&#8217;s personality is?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I hope that my site comes across as personable, yet professional, giving potential clients confidence in me and my product.<\/p>\n<p><em>When you designed the website, did you design with your customers in mind or did you have a fixed idea on how you wanted to portray the brand via the website?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A bit of both, really.  I thought it was important to get across my own personality because I am an integral part of the process, and my couples must warm to me and to my style of photography equally, since we&#8217;ll be spending a great deal of time together.<\/p>\n<p>As I already mentioned, a clean and professional-looking site builds confidence in a potential client&#8217;s mind and so I was conscious of this throughout the design process.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heartinternet.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/danbold-3.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of the Clients-Only Section of Dan Bold Photography\" width=\"650\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17209\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>What&#8217;s your favourite thing about the website?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I fully appreciate the aesthetics of the site.
