What is your most memorable wedding?
Holly and Rob's 'Spaltfield' (a combination of their surnames put together) festival themed wedding. Both full-time musicians, who had every type of music involved throughout their whole wedding day. From your traditional ten-piece brass band playing in the church ceremony, to ceilidh music just after their first dance, to a 'chaotic cacophony of klezmer, Balkan and British folk' music, playing all night long from Rob's phenomenal band, The Destroyers. The whole day was truly mesmerising. Attention to detail was impeccable and a true reflection of who they are individually and together as a couple. Their love for each other and passion for music together was perfectly captivated throughout the whole day.

Describe how you got into photography.
When I lived in Saudi Arabia with my family, I enjoyed looking through thousands of 6x4 prints that my Dad took during our adventures camping in the Arabian deserts. My family and I also moved around a lot and I always liked the idea of cameras being able to capture so many special moments in a life. Throughout school, I enjoyed being creative, playing music and creating artwork. I totally fell in love with photography when I was able to use my camera as my trusty sidekick talking to anyone. From photographing families, to portraits, from fashion projects to beautiful weddings.
