I have shot a wedding for the couple in their 70's. They have been and shared life together for 37 years. When the groom found out he was terminally ill, he got onto his knees and proposed. The wedding was perfectly planned and organised in under four weeks. The day was very emotional, surely the one to never forget for me.
Genuine, relaxed, emotive, timeless, fun
Every single feedback and review I get from my clients.
Remember it is your wedding day. Don't do things to please anyone other than yourselves. There is a very thin line between helping and interfering.

My dad was a keen photographer and had his little homemade darkroom. I have seen photos being taken and developed since I can remember. It always fascinated me.
