The first one I shot, it opened a whole new adventure for me and I made some great new friends I still keep in contact with now.

Personal gifts on the wedding morning from the bride or groom to each other
Meet up or chat, discuss the day, the timeline and all the details. I always try to help the wedding run a smooth as possible for the bride & groom, so they can enjoy the experience, whilst I worry about the things I already know they want. I aim to stay for the entire event, I don't leave till I have everything, including the 1st dance and cake cutting. I will usually prepare a "sneak Peek" gallery on the couples personal wedding web page I build for each event within 48 hours, before proving a full edited gallery within 4/6 weeks, available for everyone to enjoy, along with any video footage.
A lovely couple portrait, the one that will go on the wall forever, the one the grandchildren will enjoy

Take fun pictures outside in the rain, find somewhere inside that could be used as a mini studio, wait for a break in the rain and shoot some dramatic shots with the clouds.
Shooting bands and live shows I was working at for 10 years before becoming a parent, then taking thousands of pictures of my growing family, leading to a full time hobby, then learning and eventually starting a business.
