Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
My most memorable wedding was Neil and Sians farm wedding in 2018, I don't think I'll ever forget being lifted into the air in a tractor like contraption to get a good shot of all of the bridal party and guests - the view up there was incredible!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Natural, Fine art, romantic, friendly, modern
What about your business are you most proud of?
In regards to weddings I'm proud every time a couple is over the moon with their photos. On a personal level I'm proud of my little business as I've built it from nothing into something that really makes me smile, something that makes others happy.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
I have about a million tips, you pick up things over the years - but I think the most important one for me would be to have an unplugged ceremony - no-one wants a gorgeous shot of the bride walking down the aisle and seeing her groom for the first time with camera phones each side of her.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
I loved my recent bride Amy's cake topper 'you're my lobster' - I had a little giggle as I'm a huge friends fan!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
From initial date enquiry, we would either meet to discuss requirements or I would send the paperwork to be filled along with an agreement - depending on your needs.
A booking requires a signed agreement and booking fee.
What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?
A huge group shot is essential, you may not have photos with everyone but they're all in that photo, all present and all with you.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
At the farm mentioned above I was asked to take a photo of the bridal party on various bits of the tractor - it worked well!
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
Photograph groups inside to keep everyone happy and warm, limit the amount of time you go out, make sure you have a pair of backup boots and a picnic blanket - I have placed a bride on a blanket in a field and hidden it with her dress and she remained dry. Later in the day you can get some amazing photos with rain by using a flash, by then you don't mind so much if you get a little wet.
Describe how you got into photography.
I've been photographing for most of my life, but I started my serious photography journey at the age of 30. I gained my photography qualifications and spent many hours sat in the cold photographing beautiful sunrises, sunsets and gaining an understanding of nature. After a few years I moved into portrait photography and then onto weddings. Before becoming a photographer I was a graphic designer, with a background in art and design.
