What is your most memorable wedding?
I shot a wedding in December at Pembroke Lodge Richmond park, It was extremely windy and guest were losing hats and hair their was everywhere. After the group shot I suggest to the couple we should use the wind to our advantage and I created an amazing image of the bride wrapped in the grooms arms with her veil flowing behind her and into the scenery. You can never depend on the weather so make the most of what is available.
What about your business are you most proud of?
My studio! A lot of determination, hard work, and love went into creating the studio I have today!
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
The bride at one wedding had personally Hand made all of her confetti boxes for her guests. The were lovely!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
initial phone call or email enquiry if the date is available we have a
Wedding consultation, a chance to have a chat about photography styles and preferences while taking down all the details of the day.
I then create photography Itinerary and pinterest board for the couple to add any images ideas during the run up to the wedding.
Pre wedding photo shoot, A lot of couples like to take advantage of my free pre wedding shoot to create signing boards/books for their reception or personalised gifts for family and special friends.
one week after wedding all images will be available to view online.
two weeks after wedding a personalised memory stick usb of images and sample album will be given to the couple.
if required changes are made and final album ordered.
5-6 week delivery for all handmade albums.
What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?
laughing/smiling with each other.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
I was once asked to take a photo of the groom resting his foot on an old wooden toilet in the couples room at the Great Fosters Hotel. I believe it was a feature from when the hunting lodge was build in 1550.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
Wellies! You should not shy away from the rain instead create a memory. Amazing shots can be captured in the evening rain.
lighting can change the rain drops into a crystal like effect.
Describe how you got into photography.
Like most photographers. I started with a childhood hobby which turned into a passion!
