Joanne and Tony - Alma De Cuba in liverpool - their first dance turned into a samba stage show with confetti cannons and spark guns inclusive of saxaphone players, took the whole room by surprise and was an incredible touch (Photos on profile)

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
choose suppliers that bring YOUR vision to life, not their own!
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
The groom wrote a song for his bride, rather than giving a speech - it made the guests wonderfully emotional.. which looks great on camera.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
after the initial booking and consultation i love to keep in touch with the planning of a couples big day and share any ideas we may have about capturing key moments, a month bvefore the big day we sit down and discuss everything and ensure we have all the final details in place - then we shoot the big day exactly as their vision hoped, and then i can get to work on creating the editing styles that perfectly matched the couple and their day ready to create a personlised gallery.
What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?
romantic portraits - a lot of people say they may not want them - but to take some time away on the day, just you and your spouse, to take in the day away from your guests and just have some time together - that love really shows in the images, and brings the whole story of the album together.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
Barney the ring bearer (Pupper) Taking a nap on the wedding dress during prep - not original because of its unique creeativity, but capturing a unique moment that was truly personal to that specific couple and their best boy!
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
remain joyful and happy, it is still your wedding day, raining or not - there's always ways and means to capture your day beautifully, even if the weather doesn't wish to play along.. besides, some of the best images can actually be caught in the rain.
Describe how you got into photography.
it was simply a hobby, started with photographing animals (well, mainly my dogs) whilst walking, and was told repeatedly i had a talent - so i took a degree in photography as an adult learner, and started working with studio photography - i captured my first wedding in 2016, and got hooked - the run of the day, the planning, the emotion and the beauty of the shots and stories told can never be replicated in a studio - and each wedding that came after only served to solidify that love for it.
