What is your most memorable wedding?
Absolutely my first one. I was so nervous and excited at the same time to be trusted with capturing the memories for all these people! It was 2 days before Christmas and I was in the middle of a family road trip. It was down at Oxwich Bay in Swansea and it was about 3 degrees and there was even a visit from Santa.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Fun. Exciting. Relaxed. Natural. Colourful.
What about your business are you most proud of?
I'm proud that little old me started this business from an old fitted wardrobe that I turned into a home office and that in my second year of trading we had the worst global health crisis in a long time and STILL I've managed to keep going, keep having fun and meeting some of the best couples out there.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Plan for yourselves. Buy what you WANT to buy and not what others expect you to do. It's YOUR wedding day, so if that means everyone turns up in swimming costumes, then everyone turns up in swimming costumes. If you don't want chair covers, it's absolutely fine.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
I love a good photo wall of old memories. It lays out a little timeline of where you've been and how you got to where you are now.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I normally hold the initial talks over whatsapp/phone/email/zoom. It all depends on you and how you want to talk to me :) From there, I make everything super simple and have digital payment methods and contract signings (no more paper copies!). Then I pop across a questionnaire 6 weeks before the wedding and then I... turn up? I'm always available for questions and calls, but I'm very relaxed about the whole thing.
What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?
One that make you smile when you look back at them. For me that's candid photographs. Little moments that you may not have even noticed at the time. They're my favourite.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
Just go for it. Take it and own it like a boss. If you don't let the rain bother you, it'll still be an amazing day.
Describe how you got into photography.
Kids. Once they started appearing (I mean my own, not just random ones), I got into documenting my family. I started to enjoy it more and more and it kind of just spiralled from there.
