They all have amazing moments and it's hard to pick one. First one that comes to mind was a wedding in Sorrento which was my first destination wedding, it was also the hottest!
Fresh, Natural, Candid, Authentic, Creative
The feedback I get from happy couples after they receive their images, which means all the hard work was totally worth it!
Give yourself 5 minutes time out away from everyone, just to hang out with each other. That and make sure there's plenty of booze!

I work very closely with couples so they know exactly what to expect on the day. I aim to learn all about what kind of wedding they envisage and understand how I can best capture it. I also learn about who the couple are and they get a chance find our more about who I am, this all helps when I'm taking their photos and we already have a mutual connection.
A moment they never knew was captured.

A postive attitude! You can have a lot of fun in the rain, just be prepared with a change of footwear and a brolly!
From a young age I was always into taking photographs, this developed into a side job whilst I was a primary school teacher until I realised I had a chance to take my passion and turn it into my job, so in 2012 I went full time and haven't looked back since!
