Try to plan when you have your photos when the light will be best. The last hour around sunset is when the light is at its most flattering. Dusk is also a perfect time to do your couple shots!
I try and make things as easy as possible. I just need the itinerary and I'll take care of everything else.
Every wedding is unique!
A positive attitude.
I grew up taking pictures of my friends in bands and skateboarding. That led me to a degree in documentary photography and jobs working as a press photographer and picture editor. I gravitated towards weddings as they are way more fun than waiting outside Downing Street!
