My ability to catch those very special moments in a wedding that are cherished for a lifetime
Make sure you have all the details and timing in place for your wedding and then just enjoy every second of the day and let your professionals take care of you.
If your wedding is in winter or a low light wedding I am happy to bring studio lights to get quality photos.
However in summer it is not necessary as there is still lots of natural light to take photos inside. Your venue may have a stunning staircase or an unusual fireplace, where photos can be taken. If the rain is gentle a lot of couples still like to go outside with an umbrella. The umbrella can be a feature and/or moved away for the photos. Quite often the couple have commented that it does not look like it is raining in their photos which is great! I am also happy to go out after the meal if it has stopped raining and retake photos outside that we may have had to take earlier inside. There are many options and I am happy to say that the couples have had a ball and loved their photos every time!
I always loved taking photos in the ballet company so it was a natural progression when I hung up my pointe shoes that I would turn to the World of photography. I went back to college and retrained with the Dancers Resettlement Fund. I have never looked back! It is a thrill to capture those magical moments that bring happiness and joy to everybody.
