Message from the team
Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
My aunties as I was a bridesmaid at six years old, I remember how special I felt and how tiring and a little scary a photographer can seem. I always try to make the day a little more fun and aim to achieve those all important pictures as quickly and fun with a lovely mixture of reportage and set. Family shoots are all about having fun with each other and forgetting that you are being photographed.
