What about your business are you most proud of?
Getting to know my clients so that I can create photographs that are beautifully, emotive and will be treasured for years to come.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Plan your timings well for the day and don't worry about the weather - a good photographer will get awesome photos whatever the weather.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
There are so many! but I loved the little mossy terracotta pots of herbs at Sam and Neil's wedding that were put together by Sam’s Mom.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
After booking with me I will catch up with the couple about a month before the wedding. We will look at options for group photos if it should rain on the day. I will make a list people to include in group photographs and any special requests. I aim to deliver your finished photos within 8 weeks of the wedding.
What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?
I always think the couple shoot is the most important. Even if you don’t want any posed photos it’s good to set a bit of time away together to get some photos of just the two of you.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
I photographed all the groomsmen sitting on top of the Groom's Cousin's canal boat.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
If its drizzle then nice umbrellas and make a feature of it but if its heavy rain it really depends on the venue - I always try to plan for every wedding during the pre-consult should it rain
Describe how you got into photography.
I went on work experience to Stafford Art College (Photography Dept) when I was 15 - originally I went on to A levels as planned but after 2 weeks I couldn't help thinking how much more fun it would be on the photography college course! ...So I left and they accepted me on the course...didn't look back! :-)
