Why book me?
Your wedding is as important to me, as is it to you. It's that simple.
The industry is saturated with wedding photographers. We all know it.
The choice and standard is vast but you should book the photographer who's work you love the most and decide who you can Trust.
If there's one thing you should stretch where budget is concerned its the photography and videography. Do you need dance floor flip flops? Do you need a chocolate fountain? Yes, my top option is quite expensive but I go home from every big wedding absolutely exhausted because Ive given it my all.
The night before your wedding I'm checking the weather forecast, charging batteries, checking the schedule and formatting memory cards. On the day, I shoot on to 2 memory cards simultaneously. A primary and back up. We have a hard drive storage system for 12TB of storage which is duplicated so the chances of a wedding being digitally lost is as slim as technically possible.
Im up early and making sure the car is packed with everything I need. When I get to a venue I introduce myself to the Bride, The Groom, The Vicar, The Wedding Planner/ Events Manager.
I'm scanning the light quality, the clouds (are they getting greyer, are they dispersing?).
Can I make the most of the seasons (Spring blossom? September corn fields? Autumn colours on the trees?) What time is sunset? Has it gone dark yet?
Throughout the whole day my eyes are scanning everything and my creative mind is churning over and over because this is a now-or-never event to photograph. Once the sun has set and guests are leaving, that's it. If its not on my memory cards then there's no way back to repeat what just happened.
I havent bought a camera and a few lenses and over night labelled myself a Professional. I've stuck at this tough industry for 10 years now. In that time, lot's have 'photographers' have come and gone.
Trust in me to do a great job and invest in my creative vision.
About Me & The Team
From a very young age I was always very crafty - Art crafty that is. Art & Design was my passion.
In my rebellious teenage years, my energy focused on travel and I decided to go to Australia for a year, spending most of that time travelling on my own, it was one of the best years of my life and I gained a lot of life experience from it.
I took a camera with me throughout the whole journey and on returning, I was able to put all those memories into a scrap album. Getting the 35mm rolls of film processed and picking up the photos was super exciting!! And that's where it all began.
I've since bought 20+ cameras and owned dozens of lenses, so I know what's good and what's not so good. My camera gear is a selection of 'the best of', it's ultra reliable and produces incredible results.
I shoot mainly with my sister Lucy [blonde and smiley] and we work great together. My husband David has been a photographer alot longer than me (he's old! lol) and we did work together but he is also a specialist in the metals industry and went back to this during Covid. He still covers all things technical like lens calibration and IT.
I'm now Mom to 3 boys and married. I've been there and experienced the nerves and yes ladies, I did most of my wedding planning too! I'm a planner, scheduler, sorter and if I don't have any information on the details of your wedding, it's not worth having.
