Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
New York! Getting flown out to the Big Apple to photograph a wedding is a memory that will take a while to fade!
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Build in mingling time to your plan. Don't forget to enjoy yourself with friends and family.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
Individualised Lego men as place name holders
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I like to keep things plain, simple and relaxed. So my process matches that. Hopefully you'll hardly even notice it!
What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?
It's not trendy or cool to say it, but make sure you get the right combination of formal family shots. I know from personal experience these very un-cool photographs with grandparents can quickly take on a lot of meaning.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
Picture of a pet Goat. That was interesting.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
Embrace it! Wellies on, brolly up and let's get out there !!!
Describe how you got into photography.
I started taking pictures as a stress relief from a very stressful job, it didn't take me long to realise what I should be doing with my life.
