What is your most memorable wedding?
To pick one wedding would be unfair, I can remember all of my weddings, and each one has its own unique traits and things that make it absolutely special. A memorable moment as a personal comment, is creatively directing couples into poses, that they are comfortable with, and when they look back it will bring back so many amazing memories.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

The creativity and fun based around what we do, the more we know our bride and grooms, likes and dislikes. We can capture such amazing photos within settings that make it so special for the couple who will be looking over it in years to come.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Don’t sweat the small stuff, you have wedding planners and friends and family. Let them ease the jobs. Focus on what means the most and everything will fall into place.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
Generations of wedding rings passed down across the years and when married carried with them down the isle to wish them luck.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I initially would like to sit down with my couple or have a skype / Phone call, and discuss what the couple want. I strongly urge for a meet up to meet face too face, even a pre wedding photoshoot, this helps with the integration of posing and understanding my style. Which ten folds make the wedding day go so much smoother! Upon booking, I make sure the couple have my details for any questions or add on services they might want. Along side referring other wedding businesses such as Venue dressers, cake designers etc.
What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?
The lights dim, music sounds and it’s the first dance. Nothing in the world matters your just married. Your whispering in each other’s ear. To capture a smile at that point.. is just the most magical.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
Waterproof mascara and clear umbrellas. Any dark umbrellas detract and distract from photos. Unless it’s a bright wedding then more colour the better.
Describe how you got into photography.
I've always had an eye for photography from a young age, working with local free runners etc, from mobile phone photography, to getting my first bride DSLR. I've always surrounded myself with photography from a retail job, until eventually taking the plunge with wedding photography. With vast knowledge of film, digital and photoshop, once I found myself behind a camera during the first dance at my first few weddings, I knew this was my calling. From being with a couple from getting ready, to watching the beautiful moments of the first dance, I wouldn't swap my job for anything in the world.
