It was a stunning villa wedding in The Algarve. Beautifully intimate day with only 12 guests.

Relaxed. Creative. Professional. Fun. Discreet.

Taking something that I'm passionate about and turning it into a successful business, working with couples across The World and seeing their reactions when they see their images for the first time.

Get to know your wedding photographer!! You'll be working with them throughout the day so you have to get on with them!

My own personal touch is my wedding day toolkit! Always comes in handy....you never know when a bride or bridesmaid needs eyelash glue! In terms of the personal touch from a couple on their wedding day, favours that are individual to each guest attending.

I work with my couples from day 1. We work on ideas, do venue visits and undertake a pre wedding shoot. It's all about getting to know the couple and putting their mind at ease leading them to the big day. Then on the day, be a calming influence on everyone whilst sinking into the background to capture the day as it happens. There is the creative side of the day getting formal shots but I do this without man-handling my couples and tend not to keep my couples away from their guests for too long. But every couple is different so I certainly don't have a one size fits all approach.

Hard to say as each couple is different. But I do love a confetti shot as they are so spontaneous and you get some brilliant reactions in the shots!

"Can we get a graffiti artist to spray paint us?" The answer was of course yes!

An umbrella and an open mind.

I've had a camera since I was 5 years old and like to copy my dad who was a keen photographer.
