I flew to Florence to photograph a 3 day wedding and it was the most beautifully fascinating experience.
Natural, friendly, informal, creative, honest.
My referrals are high and my business relies heavily on these. I think it must be a reflection of the way I work.
Connecting your suppliers no matter what they are helping with. It will make the often tricky decision process far more enjoyable.

It is important to meet straight away so I either welcome people to my studio in London or I will happily travel to them with books and albums. I then leave them to make their decision for a few days and once that decision has been made meet them again at their venue to discuss where things are happening. I don't like to over plan because I think you can miss the magic of spontaneity on the day by doing this but having a look at favourite spots and a rain plan always helps!
A naturally caught shot of the marriage ceremony. It is priceless.

Wellies, they look great with a wedding dress!
My father gave me an Olympus OM1 - my first film camera - when I was 16 and I haven't looked back since.
