What is your most memorable wedding?
Choosing one wedding out of all the ones I have done wouldn't be fair. But Geoff and Mark's wedding on New Year's Eve where they invited my family to stay and to the fireworks display is definitely a memorable one!

Describe your typical process with a couple.
We exchange emails, do zoom, or have a coffee if we can. I will share all my experiences. Suggest suppliers if they ask.
And happy to help at any time. Reassure them and be there for them always.
What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?
I don’t think there’s a number one or number two photo that everyone should have.
Every couple is different and unique! All they need to do is to relax and enjoy the day.
I don’t do much posing, only for the group photos.
I never stop the flow, I will organically capture the energy of the day.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
I don’t force images I gently capture the beauty of the day. I don’t make things happen, the couple, the guests and the family do.
I’m not imposing or intrusive.
I don’t ask for an awkward pose or silly pictures. All I do is poetically and in a documentary style capture the day.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
We live in England, the weather is unpredictable. This is part of us.
Of course, I wish every couple to have the most beautiful sunny day, but sometimes it doesn’t happen.
That's ok! This shouldn’t stop the beauty of the day.
Always have a Plan B. We all need to embrace whatever the day will bring. Don’t worry, don’t get upset, just enjoy. It will be amazing.
