Describe your typical process with a couple.
Because I accept only a limited number of weddings each year, I like to get to know my clients very well to ensure we’re a good fit.
I take pleasure in meeting all of my clients before the wedding for a consultation coffee and chat (with added keep in touch days too). I feel that this is really important in order for my clients to feel comfortable around me, and to strike up a relaxed and trusting rapport. I offer a range of style options and colour grades to my clients, meaning that you can pinpoint exactly the type of photographs you would like to for your big day ( no extra costs for meetings or consultations).
