That has to be when I photographed a wedding in Cancun, Mexico.
Documentary. Observer of people and moments. Unobtrusive. Storyteller. Fun
Ability to make people look back on their wedding with much fondness. I love it when I get comments how much my clients enjoyed being allowed time to interact and chat with their guests, and at the same time get their memories and special moments captured in a natural, unobtrusive way, without them being forced into unnatural poses or forced to smile in endless group photos.

Enquire. Met up. Chat. Laugh together. Book. Relax. Get fantastic photos.
I shot a medieval themed wedding where everyone, including me as the photographer had to dress in medieval outfits., The groom and his men wore armour, while the bride wore an authentic styled wedding dress. It was a fantastic and original wedding.

I dabbled in photography as hobby when I was in my preteens, starting with landscapes and a few portraits. Then one day in 1987 a friend asked if I'd be interested in shooting their wedding. After hesitatingly agreeing, I've not looked back since then.
