Our images!
Try to keep everything in perspective.
Oooh that's a tough one! There's been so many! I think keeping it personal is key.
Un-intrusive, natural images whilst getting ready with maybe a few 'composed' shots before the main event. Subtle shooting throughout the ceremony, quick and efficient formal group shots and as little time with the bride and groom as possible (they want to spend time with their friends and family, and not me!) All whilst capturing the finer details and stories as they unravel throughout the day.
Natural ones!
If I get asked to take a specific photo, then it's normally already been shot and seen on Pinterest etc. The original photos are the natural photos of the happy couple I think!
Do not panic! Photos in the rain can be really beautiful! Prepare, have a pretty brolly to hand and you probably won't need it...
In reality, IF it is an inclement day, we will have planned for this already, so trust your photographer! In our experience, it's rarely bad all day, so we will do our best to work around the weather and still ensure we achieve the finest images for you.
I took photography at Art College (a 'few' years lol!) ago, travel called then life took over and another 'few' years later I picked up the camera again in the background at friends weddings. A pet portrait lead to a wedding (I know!), which lead to a few more and the rest as they say is history! Maxi has been my full-time occupation now since 2014 and although it's hard work, I love every single second!
