All of my weddings are memorable, because they are unique and each one is approached in a different way.

Fun, creative, free, thoughtful and passionate

I am me and there is no other me'er than me. Everything I do I do with care and thought for you the client. Nothing makes me happier than a happy customer.

Make a check list in priority order, the rest will fall into place with the help and support of friends and family.

It's always about the thoughtful touches that I see, the photographs of people not there, the memories shared between the bride and groom, they all count for what makes them a couple.

It all starts with an enquiry and then leads to a conversation and then a pre meet and then a pre shoot and then the build up to the day. I'm always at hand to chat about a wedding, I have been an assistant for many a photographer and have also helped plan weddings, so if I can assist then I will.

With todays digital on the up, couple time images are a must. Its the time they get to break away and just be themselves comfortable and calm having their images taken privately for themselves.

I ran a successful design agency in Zimbabwe that made invitations and graphic design. We then got involved in wedding planning as well as being an assistant for a wedding photographer. I've always loved photography, taking wildlife and landscapes, but it wasn't until I arrived in the UK that I decided to work towards weddings. I am back at taking landscapes though and presently studying for my Creative Arts Degree now. I continue to work towards perfecting my style in wedding photography and am always happy to try something new.
