I find that people book me based on what they see on my website, The style, vibe, look, colour and over all feeling they get from my work, which I find is most important when looking for someone to capture their wedding. I put lots of examples of full weddings on my site which gives couples a taste of exactly what they will get from my photography on their wedding day.
Photography is like clothes...if you can see yourself in it I'm the right photographer for you.
The wedding breakfast actually was a full english breakfast!!!
It was a portrait for a couple that held their wedding day on Halloween, they wanted a spooky but artist portrait of the two of them and I delivered it.
Nothing! roll with it, embrace it and continue having a blast!
Rain has no impact what so ever on the photography or the days celebrations.
Being around photography my entire life, my family had a background in professional photography so naturally I continued and went into the wedding photography industry.
I’m a huge film fan and pretty much love every genre of movie, but if I had to pick favourites it would have to be classics from the 80’s, horror and anything by the director Quentin Tarantino or Tim Burton. My passion for film has a huge influence on my wedding photography style as I always look to bring a cinematic element to my work in terms of the colour and the look and feel of my photos. I want every image that I take to demand attention, to tell a story - just like a scene in a movie.
I’m obsessed with colour, you’ll see that my photos have punch and a real stand out quality. It has taken me many years to develop what is now my signature photography colour palette which I’m become renowned for.
Music is my other passion, both listening to and watching live bands whenever I get the chance. When I’m at a wedding I’m always be checking out the band, DJ or playlist and I love photographing the evening celebrations when everyone’s busting a move on the dancefloor.
I’m a family man with two kids and four pooches, so I know how important it is to capture all those special, once in a lifetime moments of your family and friends on your wedding day that you’ll be able to relive again and again.
