Message from the team
Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
A Wedstival in a field with a lake and tipis! We stayed on site, as the couple had booked my vintage caravan photo booth, and everyone (including my team!) ended up drinking far too much and dancing like crazy all night. There were lots of sore heads in the morning. The dance floor photos were pretty epic though!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Fun Documentary Informal Natural Creative
What about your business are you most proud of?
Photography is my passion AND I get to wear a cool camera belt!
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Don't stress. You love each other. Go with what YOU want not to satisfy the masses x
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
A photo table with passed relatives ... and their favourite drink in front of each photo
Describe your typical process with a couple.
We email. We chat. We might meet at the pub and/or the venue. I take some photos to make you relax and not stress about posing. You book me. I turn up at your wedding and we have fun etc. etc etc.
What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?
A full on, middle on the dance floor, open mouthed singing shot with all your friends and family around you.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
Under the table at a Danish wedding! Guests can initiate impromptu toasts, speeches, kissing and forming queues to kiss the bride/groom.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
A brolly! I have only had (and this is true as I type this!) one rainy wedding in 10 years. We can't stop the weather but we will work around it.
Describe how you got into photography.
My dad was a photographer and he double booked a wedding and said they 'just' wanted a group shot and reportage images. I was soooooo scared but did it and the couple were delighted. Within 2 years I worked hard learning how to use my camera properly, switched to digital and then gave up my proper job (an Account Manager for a marketing agency). I got my first booking 10 years ago and haven't looked back since. I LOVE MY JOB lol
