What is your most memorable wedding?
I have been able to use my skills at many of the finest wedding venues in Eastbourne, Sussex, across the whole UK and Europe, including: The historic Stonehenge, the iconic St Paul's Cathedral, the super high-end Hoar Cross Hall, the charming Upwaltham Barns, the the ultra-stylish Ashdown Park Hotel and the luxury Ikos resorts in Greece.
Being an artist requires dedication and imagination. I have twisted myself into some weird and wonderful positions to create that perfect wedding imagery. The years of yoga has proved very handy! I have dangled out of a two-seater plane at 2,000 feet to capture a Pilot wedding. At the wonderfully bonkers venue of Fawley Hill, I had my ear licked by a curious alpaca as I lined up a shot. Anything can happen on the day :-)

Describe how you got into photography.
I have always been imaginative, be it with a camera or a paintbrush. I started drawing from the early age. My life-long love affair with the camera started when I was only ten years old. As a little one, my dearest toys were a film camera that belonged to my Dad and a self-built camera obscura. My playground was the photographic darkroom within my loving family house.
