What is your most memorable wedding?
I've loved each and every one of my weddings. They are all unique in their own way. Being an animal lover, one of my most memorable weddings, was at the Wellbeing Fram in Bolton. The couple were fab, the venue so welcoming and being able to take pictures with all of the animals, made it something really different.

Get one of your bridesmaids or groomsman to get friends and family needed for your photos. Makes it much easier as they will likely know your guests.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
I did a wedding over in Shropshire, and the brides grandparents had both recently passed away. They'd organised a table setting and a picture of both of them at the reception, which was really touching.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
After a couple enquires, I will generally respond via email with any overview of any details they have asked for. Moving forward we would arrange to have a quick phone call to discuss their exciting plans and see which package is right for them. If they would like to make a booking, I send over my contract for them to sign, and payment details for the deposit to secure their day. Nearer to the big day, I will arrange a Zoom call so that we can go through all of their timings and plans in detail. During the entire process, I am always on hand for advice and easily contactable on the phone or via email.

Describe how you got into photography.
As a child, my Dad was a photographer and converted our garage into a dark room. I always loved watching the process of taking an image, through to it being developed, and used to watch him at work.
