What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Make sure you incorporate time to be together on the day. It goes so quickly. Time alone together to take it all in and enjoy the magic of the day is so important.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
The bride has small paper flowers within her bouquet and the paper used was from her Mum’s favourite book. A very subtle but very personal touch.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
After enquiry I will send the couple an email detailing the packages I offer. If they then like to meet I will bring along some samples from previous weddings and also discuss their plans for the day.
Should they book me we have further catch-up calls / meetings before their big day.
If it’s a new venue, I will also visit the venue and speak to their point of contact re the times on the day etc.
What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?
A photo of just the two of them. Alone. In an area of the venue they love.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
Six men (the groom and his groomsmen) playing bagpipes along Westminster Bridge in the shadow of Big Ben.
It was so much fun and drew a huge crowd!
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
Depending on the couple, we can either embrace it and get fun shots with umbrellas in the rain, or utilise the inside areas of the venue to capture some shots.
Describe how you got into photography.
I have always been a keen hobbyist and when my career in financial services ended I decided to turn my hobby into a career.
Best decision I have ever made. I love capturing memories for people.
