Shane Poole is a Hoyland Nether-based wedding specialist capturing natural, emotive wedding and engagement photography. A relaxed, documentary-led approach that tells your day honestly.
Shane Poole Photography is a dedicated wedding specialist based in Hoyland Nether, focused on capturing the genuine emotions and unscripted moments that make each wedding unique. Shane approaches every wedding as a story to be told — not a checklist to be completed — prioritising atmosphere, connection and the small details that couples remember long after their day. Why choose Shane? His experience shooting weddings has developed into a calm, documentary-led style that puts people at ease. Rather than forcing staged poses, Shane looks for real interactions: the nervous laugh over breakfast, an unguarded look during vows, and the spontaneous joy on the dancefloor. When posed portraits are needed, he directs with a light touch so couples always feel comfortable and look natural. Shane pays careful attention to light, composition and timing to create images that feel timeless and authentic. He balances candid reportage with considered portraiture — capturing both the story of the day and the images you’ll want on your walls. Engagement sessions are available as part of the wedding experience, helping couples relax in front of the camera and develop the rapport that leads to better wedding-day photographs. How Shane works: every wedding begins with a conversation to understand your priorities and personality. He collaborates on timelines and venue details, then moves through the day unobtrusively, anticipating moments rather than manufacturing them. Shane’s approach is professional yet friendly: he blends into the celebration so guests behave naturally, stepping forward when the moment calls for gentle direction. Although wedding photography is the core focus, Shane also offers complementary video work and portrait sessions, which can be integrated to enhance your wedding memories. Post-event, Shane delivers thoughtfully edited images that reflect the tone of your day — warm, honest and full of life. If you want wedding photography from a specialist who values authenticity over artifice and craftsmanship over gimmicks, Shane Poole provides a reassuring, experienced presence on your wedding day.
