I work for my dream football club as a photographer! I'm based in Manchester so you can probably guess which one!
Weddings are such a personal choice, find suppliers who will be equally as passionate and care about you and your style for your special day.

Conversations for me are essential! You need to know me and make sure I the photographer is the right fit for your wedding. Once you dec need you want to go ahead, paperwork is sent online, and approx 2 weeks before fthe wedding a further conversation is had to discuss all the final details.
