Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
To be perfectly honest, there are so many weddings that are memorable and each one is special so I wouldn't single one out against another.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Creative, dramatic, stylish, documentary, colourful
What about your business are you most proud of?
My relationship with my wedding couples
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Keep it simple. Enjoy the process.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I really enjoy meeting my couples before the wedding so that we get to know each other. Then, a few weeks before the big day we have a recap call to go over the details of the day, things like timings and any special requests. Once we've enjoyed the wedding day, I create the gallery which tells the story of the day and then send it to the happy couple. The gallery is password protected and photographs are downloaded from there!
What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?
Tough question! I always think that we should spend a few minutes with some portraits.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
