What about your business are you most proud of?

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Make sure to leave enough time during the drinks reception. Ideally you will want at least 1.5 hours so you can relax a little and give yourself a moment to breath.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I aim to work in the background for most of the day. If your guests at the wedding don't notice me, I count myself very lucky as it allows me to capture what I love to most - Moment driven wedding photography. I'm very flexible when it comes down to it. If you would like lots of portraits and group photos, no problem. It's the one day that is absolutely 100% about you!

If possible, a confetti photo. And make sure to get a sunset photo if you can.

Grab an umbrella and take some photos in the rain. There's so many creative opportunities in the rain that you won't regret getting!
