Samoan dances. Yup, this was a fun one. The groom and basically his whole family performed Samoan dances to his newly wed. It was not only so much fun but it was so lovely because it meant so much to everyone from both families.

I am most proud of the final products that I have been able to provide to my clients throughout the years. I always ensure that I put my absolute all in to each and every wedding. Upon sending the photos, I am always most proud when hearing how much they love their photos.
In regards to photography, make sure you have a list of who you want to be included in a group photo and provide it to us before the wedding, that way we don't waste any time. This will speed things up on the day and will get you back to spending time with your loved ones which is what it's all about!
I picked up my first 'real' camera 15 years ago! I have always loved taking a photo of anything remotely interesting. I studied TV production at Uni and then got a job in TV working on shows for BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Netflix and much more. I started in the wedding industry with wedding videography and quickly made the transition to photography.
