What is your most memorable wedding?
Oh thats a tough one! Its a too up between my first pandemic wedding captured during the year 2020 in which guests wore face masks during the wedding photos and hand sanitizer was placed next to the register OR the wedding in which the entire wedding was delayed by almost an hour due to a dawn raid at their home , the bride & groom turned up in every day clothes after getting out of custody without any guests and proceeded to get married, THEN get dressed in their wedding attire when their guests arrived have their images captured and then went off to celebrate the fact that nothing was going to stop them from getting married!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
It always tugs on my heart when couples dedicate a seat in the service to a loved one who has passed or has a table set up with their picture on it
Describe your typical process with a couple.
Whenever giving advice to anyone looking for any type of service I always say to take a look at their client reviews, their past work and then their packages. So firstly I send this over to the couples so they have easy access to it to view, then when they know they wish to book me We arrange a booking in contract to be filled via Email / Post or in person a £100 deposit (this comes off the total cost of your package) This contract and deposit system secures their booking with me and gives you the peace of mind you have booked a professional service provider. Term's & Condition's apply to all bookings. Then we do a second meeting (this one must be in person) to go over the the photo plan and finalising times etc
What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?
I firmly believe that coupels should allow themselves half an hour away from guets to have some intimate and romantic pictures taken together without the pressure of everyone watching, this is often overlooked when planning a wedding but always leads to some stunning and nutural images of the couple
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
Several years ago I had a couple who were massive " The Walkind Dead" fans and they requested an image taken of the guests acting like zombie's! It was great fun to capture and watch unfold especiallya s once guests went out of his way to crawl towards them as a zombie!
