Message from the team
Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
Photographing a newly wed couple on a beach in Bonaire, when I worked on the Cruise ships!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Cinematic, artistic, vintage, storytelling, natural
What about your business are you most proud of?
The fact that I get to spend time capturing one of the happiest days of people's lives, and being a part of it too.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Don't rule out a Videographer! It's one of the top regrets of couples not having one, but sadly usually the first thing to be cut.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
We meet, we chat, you ask, I listen, we arrange, I attend, you marry, you don't worry, I work, you get amazing, gorgeous photos or videos.
What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?
I wouldn't necessarily limit it to ONE. But if I had to pick it would be a big group shot with everyone from the day.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
Always have a plan B at your chosen venue; either under a marquee or indoors.
Describe how you got into photography.
My father did photography and my grandfather used to develop his own 35mm film. Could say it's in my blood!
