What is your most memorable wedding?
A couple who wanted their photos outside in a snowstorm.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Friendly.
What about your business are you most proud of?
Taking quality portraits that my clients like. My No. 1 concern is making the bride look good, but I also talk to guests, introducing myself early on so that no one is surprised by me taking photos later on.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Plan everything, but do not get stressed on the day when you find that your guests do not do what you planned. Most of your plan will happen!
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
Cake with pet dog (made of icing).
Describe your typical process with a couple.
1. Meet and discuss what they want - I show them a wider range of albums and prints than on the website and explain how some key shots came to be taken.
2. Meet at Reception venue a couple of weeks before the wedding and agree where any group shots will be done and what we will do if the weather is against us.
What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?
As many generations as possible - grandparents, parents, the couple & children in one shot.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
Get a relative to bring a car boot full of umbrellas!
Describe how you got into photography.
Long interest in photography & art.
