What is your most memorable wedding?
I always get a buzz when it comes to transport! This has included running onto Marlow Bridge to pause the traffic and arranging with boat and bus companies for me to jump off early or late to capture photos 'on and off' to get the variety in storytelling.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Relaxed, fun, candid, natural edited in a timeless style.
What about your business are you most proud of?
All of the kind words from couples make it rewarding as well as winning South-East Photographer of the Year twice in 2018 and 2022.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Following wedding suppliers on social media will give you daily ideas and inspiration!
Once your venue is booked choose your suppliers early to secure them for your day and sort out timings and details nearer the day.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
I love seeing all the creative table names linked to the couple's interests or wedding theme. Everything from places, castles, sporting venues, films, bands, Beatle's albums, herbs, flowers to reindeer names!
What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?
Writing as a Bride, my husband and I were grateful for taking some time out with our photographer away from our guests to have portraits taken. This is something I always recommend to my couples.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
I had to photograph the groom and groomsmen getting ready to catch a chandelier falling from the ceiling! The Groom was an Only Fools and Horses fan! No-one (or the venue) were harmed in the making this photo!
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
Make the most of it! It can create fun opportunities with umbrellas etc. For all days when the ground is soft I'd recommend a change of shoes (colourful wellington boots, wedges or flats) for the bride for going outside for portraits to avoid heels sinking. Where possible at the venue only concreted areas will be used if preferred by the couple.
Describe how you got into photography.
Inspired by my infant school teacher, I always wanted a career in art. I've been a professional photographer since I graduated back in 2005 and chose to specialise in portraiture, weddings and events as I love meeting people. Once I had photographed one wedding I loved it! I've now photographed over 150!
