What is your most memorable wedding?
I did video for a lovely Eco-Conscious couple at Glebe Farm Barns. What stood out was how much laughter everyone had on the day. The groom was comedian-level hilarious as was his brother who did the funniest speech I've had the pleasure of hearing. The Bride was just the sweetest and you could they just adored each other. They were also incredibly appreciative and loved my work. That really stands out.

Describe how you got into photography.
I read an article once called "Screw looking for your passion, you probably already do it" by Mark Manson
And I had a lightbulb moment! I'd been taking photos for years and was always the guy taking photos in my social circles. So I saved and got myself the Sony a6000 (which was stolen in Borneo but that's a story for another time) and was happy taking photos of what I love - Nature. Then a friend asked me to take photos of her wedding and I said yes as favour but didn't think i'd like it...but I ended up loving it. I was still able to take natural photos but just at a beautiful joyous event, I got free food and drink and I realised it was the career I wanted - What isn't to love?
