What is your most memorable wedding?
I shot a wedding for a lovely couple called Toni and Pete who travelled all the way from Dubai with family from all the way around the world. They got married at Fletchers Farm, with a beautiful outdoor woodland ceremony. Couple photos in the woodland and around thee nearby lake were stunning, the reception was full of personal touches, boardgames and an amazing atmosphere. To top it all off, the guests knew how to have a good time on the dance floor! It's a wedding i will remember for a very long time!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Plan well ahead it takes all the pressure off, an example is we take bookings up to 4 years in advance.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
Having great entertainment at the reception some of the best weddings we seen have singers, magicians and photo booths this keeps everyone entertained and keeps the party going long into the night with everyone having a great time.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
After booking we keep in touch planning in a meeting 4/6 weeks before the wedding we talk through the wedding and plan out the photography we then do a test shoot to provide poses and to alleviate and nerves. We always do a venue visit prior to a wedding to plan everything for the day. Every wedding and couple are different so we Taylor our planning to meet a couples requirements.
What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?
It’s probably not the favourite from every album but a great group shot of everyone attending is a must as it’s a good one to look back on over the years and remember who was there.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
I once photographed a harry potter themed wedding that was full of unique and original images, from cardboard box collages, to magic battles complete with special effects!
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
Embrace it, in England it’s going to happen we always always have a plan B for every photo that’s outside. We always carry umbrellas and a photo poking fun at the weather is a great way of remembering yes it rained but it didn’t matter, lastly prepare from a dash outside at the last minute when there’s a break in the weather to get some photos
Describe how you got into photography.
I studied photography at both college and university for 5 years, doing a bit of everything from studio portraiture, product photography, street photography, lifestyle work, landscape photography until in my last couple of years i got really into my landscape work, travelling around the country seeing so many places of natural beauty. In my final year of uni, i took on my first wedding, and was hooked. I love how wedding photography includes a bit of everything and i love trying to incorporate my love of nature into my work.
