One of my most memorable has to be in 2018 during the 'Beast from the East' snow storms, where I had to dig my way out of the snow to get to a wedding. Don't worry... I made it!
Modern, artistic, relaxed, documentary, natural
Probably the relationships that I form with my clients. Wedding photography is a big investment and I pride myself on the service that I give to them from start to finish.
Do your research. Look outside of the venue's preferred supplier list and view a good range of photographer's portfolios. As tempting as it may be, don't just go for the cheapest to make a saving. You need to be satisfied with the quality of their work before you make any commitment.
Detail is very important and I love to see weddings where the couples have made a lot of things themselves, like favours or centre pieces. That sort of personalisation is really noticeable and something I think everyone can appreciate.
After an initial consultation by phone or email, we meet to discuss the finer details and to introduce ourselves in preparation for the big day. I also usually contact the client the week before the wedding to see if there have been any last minute changes. Clients are free to contact me at any time during the build up to the wedding if they have any questions or concerns. After approximately 4 - 6 weeks the couple's final images will be delivered to them on a branded USB at maximum resolution and watermark free, so that they can share them with their friends and family as they wish. I also deliver the images for sharing purposes via a private online gallery.

Every wedding should have a contingency plan. Know your venue inside and out to hunt out the best locations for pictures before hand.
I am fortunate enough to be surrounded by beautiful Cornish beaches, which inspired me take up photography with an emphasis on capturing seascapes and landscapes. In 2008 I bought my first DSLR and this opened my eyes to the ability to not only capture the moment, but to also add my own artistic twist to create something personal and with far greater artistic impact (with a little help from the stunning scenery!) In 2012 I became interested in creative portraiture and began displaying my work via the popular photo sharing website Flickr. It wasn’t until a year later that I discovered my true love: wedding photography. I decided to turn my passion into a career after an old work colleague asked me to photograph her wedding and here I am!
