Start with a really tough question... so many to choose from but Diane and Simon's wedding where the best man forgot the rings is a hard one to forget! 'Four Weddings and a funderal' vibes but everyone dealt with the situation brilliantly.
Relaxed, honest, natural, candid, fun.
I have three little people in my life and my eldest (8yrs old) has just started to get interested in taking pictures!
Plan some time in the day for just the both of you after you've got married. The day will be incredible but it will also feel like it flashes by and I think it's really important to just take 5 minutes to look at each other in the eye and celebrate the fact together.
I make a point of always communicating this and I will build at least 5mins at the end of the my shoot time to allow you both the time for this.
There are so many to choose from but I loved one groom who had lost his father the year before and had left a seat for him at their top table.
I like to keep it nice and simple. From potential booking through the wedding day, delivey of images and beyond I make sure I communicate the process throughout and keep it nice and simple.
Everyone is different and, because of that, a difficult question but I'd say the first kiss shot is a must have.

Rain is inconvenient but natural light is simply the best. This is even more true on a rainy day! I totally understand no one wants to get their clothes wet on the day but the photographs will last forever!
Being around my dad who loved his camera gave me the passion for it from a very early age.
