Mine!
Natural, relaxed, creative, timeless, occasionally ingenious!
My ability to blend into the day such that almost everyone ends up commenting on how they hardly knew I was there.
As far as possible, book your suppliers based on how much you like them and their work, not on how much they cost.
Tables designated by muppet characters! I love the muppets.
I will always have at least one pre-wedding meeting with couples to discuss the details of the day. After that, the day just unfolds as it will and I'll be there to capture it all as does.
After the wedding, the images are downloaded, backed up twice and then edited, processed and perfected, and a slideshow is created, before being handed over to you to enjoy.
I think couples should leave the taking of photographs to the photographer!
An umbrella and an adventurous spirit!
I got into photography as a teenager through my Dad, who was a keen amateur. I was always artistic and creative but particularly loved the nature of photography which requires traditional creativity and a "left brained" technical ability.
