Describe your typical process with a couple.
I like to have a call straight after the enquiry to talk about the couple's plans and their ideas. I send out the contract and ask them to pay the deposit if they are interested in booking me. About 6 weeks priory to the wedding day I send the questionnaire and ask for the itinerary even if it is just a rough itinerary. Around 4 weeks before the wedding day I touch bases and ask if anything has changed so that I can send out detailed plan for the wedding day. I then have a call 1 week before the wedding to go through all the details.

Describe how you got into photography.
I have been doing photography since very young age. My father was a photojournalist and it was a big influence on me. I chose weddings because I can have all genres of photography in one single day and I love it! I got into weddings after photographing a friends wedding and then it went all from there. I have a degree in photography and since then I always thought that weddings was going to be my genre of photography one day!
