My 'unicorn' wedding where we had every weather element going (sunshine, gale winds, hail and rain) BUT we were graced with an awesome rainbow, PLUS an epic sunset! Plus the cutest bride and groom who weren't put off by any of the weather, and who weren't afraid to walk through fields of sheep poop to get these shots!
Creative, fun, romantic, relaxed and dedicated.
The wonderful and heart-warming feedback I've received from my clients.
For having the confidence to create my business and to see how far I've come since I started.
Some of the planning process may be stressful, but remember to enjoy every moment of it. You (hopefully) only get to plan your wedding once, and you don't want to remember the negativity of table plan politics or disagreements on cake flavours (just have both ;) ).
Anything sentimental
Every couple and every wedding is different, so I aim to really get to know each couple I work with so I can capture the feelings and memories that will make your photographs special and personal to you, whilst creating a stress free process putting you completely at ease.
I keep in contact with my couples during the run up to their wedding so we aren't strangers on the day, and also a chance to have a chat through any updates about their wedding day plans. Around a month before their wedding day, a final wedding questionnaire is also emailed to confirm all the details and timings of the wedding day so I have a complete plan for the day.
Embrace it! It's the one part of the wedding we cannot control but we can still create stunning images whatever the weather.
Bring a spare pair of shoes and a coat ;)
I received my first camera at the age of about 5 and have enjoyed documenting my life ever since. I still love the nostalgia of looking through the photo albums I created from a young age, remembering fantastic times and amazing people (some who are no longer with us). I want everyone to have that feeling and those memories, and they don't get much better than your wedding day!
