What is your most memorable wedding?
My own!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Candid, honest, natural, unobtrusive, observer.
What about your business are you most proud of?
I'm most proud of the fact that most of my work comes from referrals. That makes me smile lots.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Wedding planning should be fun, just don't leave it to the last minute and run the risk of losing out on some really top quality wedding suppliers. On a wedding day, I've experienced broken down wedding cars, broken zips on wedding dresses, toppled cakes, you name it.
It happens, so keep smiling (this really helps your photographer), party on, you still have each other, no matter what!
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
Too many to name, though the live video link with the singer Michael Ball wishing my bride all the very best was a pretty special moment. I'll never forget the expression on her face when he popped up in front of her!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
Once you've checked your date's free then it's time for us to say hello. Usually in the form of a video catch up or phone call as they're a great way to get to know each other a little better and of course share ideas about your wedding.
If you book me, then I'm always at the end of a phone or email to answer questions throughout. A month from your wedding I'll send you an online form to complete some details and we'll then touch base on a video link a few days before your wedding to run through everything together.
I'll pop you a text the evening before your wedding to assure you I haven't forgotten and then see you in the morning.
Upon departing your wedding you can expect to see your images anywhere between 2-6 weeks after that.
What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?
Impossible to answer really. I aim to capture all the special moments, and the moments between the moments too, the bits that you might not get to see on the day, they're all No.1 to me, and hopefully to you too.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
I can tell you about the least original photo I got asked to shoot at a wedding. The heart shaped group shot. Just don't even go there..
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
I recommend you party on as normal. It's only water!
Describe how you got into photography.
I was inspired by my uncle's landscape and wildlife images. Long story!
