What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Make sure you make time for yourselves to enjoy your wedding day.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
To many to mention, singing waiters, firework displays, the couple growing plants to give to each guest (I still have mine). Often it's a kiss, a glance, words spoken or written on a wedding day, gifts and messages exchanged, all are too important to single out just one.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I tailor every couple's wedding photography. To do this I'll ensure I have understood and meet the couple's brief. The type of coverage needed, how long they need me for and the types of finishes for their final images. Throughout the planning process, conversations, a rehearsal and by the time of their wedding day I will have every detail covered. This doesn't stop those spontaneous moments when you see and capture all the important moments.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
Always have a 'Plan B'. It may be we need to wait to take the photos later. Looking for alternate locations indoors at rehearsal and I always carry portable studio equipment in case I need to work indoors. Sometimes we can make a feature of the rain and capture photos under an umbrella, or there may be locations with cover that can be used instead. You can't control the weather, but you can adapt and ensure you capture those special memories.
Describe how you got into photography.
It all started with a family portrait for my best friend, then taking the wedding photos for a couple who couldn't afford a professional. I studied for a City and Guilds in photography and started doing portrait and wedding photography on a part time basis. This flourished over time, enabling me to retire from my other role. I have been a professional wedding photographer for over 10 years now and captured around 150 weddings. I still have the same passion for every wedding as I did for the first and feel so lucky to capture the best day of every couple's lives.
