one that truly shows their emotion and love for eachother. Their natural laughing face or looking lovingly at each other. I want to FEEL your connection.
I live in Orkney so I'm ready for all kinds of weather. It's totally up to the couple, they can decide to just do indoor photos or if they don't care about getting a bit wet then im all for embracing it and having the memories to look back on. It always makes a good story in years to come.
fun fact - I'm dyslexic which I use to my advantage as I see the world differently. I thrive on capturing gorgeous memories and seeing beauty in the little things that often goes unnoticed. My aim if for you to look back at your wedding photos and be able to feel the same emotion as you felt in the moment it was taken.
