Message from the team
Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
I know it hasn't technically happened yet, but I am shooting my very close friend's wedding later this year. This is going to be so special!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Natural, Real, Subtle, Fun, Relaxed
What about your business are you most proud of?
The storytelling in my photos, I love looking back and remembering the whole day when I am editing my photos and delivering my albums. I remember each wedding and each couple individually and fondly.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Don't be afraid to put it in the 'Fuck it Bucket' Remember its YOUR day, make sure everything you do is for you both and not for other people! Also, mix up your table plans, if you have one, watching people chat who would never have otherwise met is always such a lovely thing!
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
At one wedding, the couple used the crochet ring the bride had made and originally proposed with, that was really lovely!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I don't really have a "typical process" that's not how I want my couples to feel. I ask everyone to complete a form and pay a 25% deposit but after that everything is done on an individual basis. You might be really excited and want to ask advice for your plans. Some people like to be left alone until the wedding day and keep it fairly business. Some couples want a pre shoot and others don't. Either way I like to make sure that we have met in some way, be it in person or on video before your big day so it doesn't feel awkward. I definitely don't want you to ever feel like just another couple.
What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?
I always like to get a photo of the couple's hands on the bouquet together, but I think its always nice to get a photo quietly together around the time of the food or just before the dancing begins etc. This is usually the part of the day when the nerves have faded and you are just totally and utterly soaked in happy wedding bliss.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
I was asked to take a photo including the couple's dog's ashes with some of the wedding details. This was really special as I know just how important this would be.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
To not worry too much about the rain interfering with your day. Just remember why you are there and let it all become part of your story. There's a saying too.. the wettest knots form the strongest bond... or something like that!
Describe how you got into photography.
I have always loved photos. I remember when I was little I used to look through my parent's old albums over and over. Flicking through pictures of family members past and present. I always loved the fact that when you look at a photo you are looking at a moment in time, even if you weren't there. You can imagine what it would be like to be there, in that moment. What you would hear, what it would have been like. That's what I want to recreate for all of my couples. To look back in years to come and be transported right back to your beautiful day.
