What is your most memorable wedding?
I couldn't pick just one, every wedding is different. It's the couple who really make it for me. Those who are laid back, up for a laugh and an adventure, make for the most memorable ones.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Adventurous, rustic, relaxed, romantic, personal
What about your business are you most proud of?
That couples don't just choose me for my photos but because of my personality.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Always allow for at least two hours between your ceremony ending and your call to dinner - the day will fly by!
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
The bride wrote a poem for each guest and used the envelope, with their name on it as their place setting for dinner.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
When an enquiry comes in, I will reply, usually within 24 hours, to advise of my availability, give a link to my package option on my website and offer a link to book in for a video call at a day and time that suits. On the call we will chat through all your plans and I will tell you about me. If you would like to go ahead I email over a booking form, contract and invoice for the booking fee. We will keep in touch during the planning stages and would chat again around one month before the wedding, this is also when the final balance is due, to go through all the timings for the day and any group shots.
What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?
A handful, I usually recommend up to 10 combinations, of family groups. It is not often everyone is together and looking so smart.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
A double dad reveal - two brides did a first look to each other ahead of their ceremony and then they revealed their final look to each of their dad's. Not a dry eye in sight!
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
Wellies, an umbrella and a "let's do this" attitude!
Describe how you got into photography.
After graduating in 2008, I went on to work in Marketing for five years in oil and gas. During that time I met a photographer at a wedding I was a guest at and started helping them out. Photography was a new hobby for me at the time. In 2014 I went to work for them full time and in 2017 I went self employed and have never looked back.
