Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
I usually shoot smaller weddings but this one had 300 plus people, 3 bands and a dancing badger doing a conga line! One of the guests stripped down to his pants to reveal a tiny green frog tattoo on his tummy- it was epic!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
candid, fun, relaxed, real, natural
What about your business are you most proud of?
I am a family support worker by day and created my business to be inclusive for everyone. Being a demand free photographer means I am not adding to my bride/grooms stress on the day. I try my hardest to fit in so everyone feels relaxed around me and always have guests asking to do shots at the bar or to stay longer to party with everyone.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Be true to who you are. If you want a small wedding do it. Want a large wedding do it. Just do not do it for anyone else but yourselves; it is your day afterall!
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
A bride hand drew portraits of each guest for their favours- I loved this!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I meet virtually to get to know each other. If I feel we are a good fit I send a contract out which is valid for 48 hours. Upon booking I am on hand to help in what ever way I can. Around 4 weeks before the wedding I send a time line guide, wedding guide and a questionnaire and arrange to meet up at the venue to run through the day.
What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?
A photo with key family members -Mum/Dad/Grandparents. Although I am documentary I still think these group shots are so important.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
Hmm, most of my photography is candid, but one photo I was asked to take was a tattoo of the groom's name on his friends bum!
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
Go with it. You can't change it. Embrace it dance in the rain towards the end of your day, invest in umbrellas, just enjoy it- a wet not is harder to untie...
Describe how you got into photography.
After the birth of my daughter in 2009 I started to take photos and invested in some camera gear. It quickly became apparent that she is autistic and ADHD and hated any for of posed photos so candid was my best friend. When I got married candid photography didnt exsist so I I create this so everyone can have beautiful photos of their day!
