What is your most memorable wedding?
Apart from my own of course, was one where the couple had their portraits taken at a waterfall. My lens hood fell in the water and my foot slipped and I got soaked. We all laughed about it but I didn't ever find my lens hood!

Let’s see that we’re a good fit. We’ll run through your plans for the day. I’ll gather some details about any particular images you want to capture as well

Describe how you got into photography.
I've always enjoyed photography but really found my niche when having taken photos as a guest at numerous weddings in the past and couples would often say that they loved the little moments I captured when they didn't know I was there. I love weddings and all the emotions of the day so it was natural for me to want to take it a step further and become a wedding photographer. Every wedding is unique and I'm often made to feel like a guest as I go about documenting the most special day in the lives of my couples and their nearest and dearest.
