What is your most memorable wedding?
A wedding in lockdown with only the bride and groom and the two mothers. I had the two mothers pose with bottles of Corona lager, and getting them to pose sticking two fingers up! I just love doing quirky shots if possible so we can have a laugh on your big day.

Both setup a standing order for £10/week. You won’t miss the money, but by the end of the year you will have over £1000 saved. Easy!

When wedding guests thank you afterwards, telling you how fantastic the pictures you took were.

I like to meet people prior some can get a good feel for exactly what they want and to make sure I know exactly what pictures they want so I am able to exceed their expectations every time.
What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?
Anything that they think is fun and that encapsulates their personality. Weddings are very personal.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
Having a magazine background, I like to get the boys reading a wedding magazine, looking shocked and all the girls reading a magazine of the groom’s hobby with a look of horror on their face. I think it’s a great quirky way of doing a personal picture that relates to the bride and groom.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
Umbrellas and a good sense of humour!
Describe how you got into photography.
I worked at a major magazine publishing company for 20-years prior to being made redundant due to C19.
