Weddings
Few things are timeless after a wedding.
The rain will have washed away the confetti. The chocolate fountain and love letters will have been loaded back into the van and the suit hire company will be waiting for their suits to come back in one piece.
But your photography is one of few things that will last generations. For this reason, if you truly value memories of your big day, it must be done properly – there is one chance to capture your day.
Wedding photography has taken me around the UK – and to Europe too! It is such a great privilege to be able to share your day and capture the emotions and happiness that your special day brings, not only for you but for your family and your friends too. Photographs make such great gifts and capture memories in a way that nothing else can.
My style incorporates a relaxed, friendly and unobtrusive approach ensuring that the photography is definitely a fun element of the day. The resulting images will capture a visual story of your special day and will serve as a keepsake to treasure for many years to come.
Don’t be apprehensive with the notion of organising a wish-list of photographs or the thought of a routine of endless interruptions and posing on the day. I’m here to help all the way, from our initial consultation right through to the eager anticipation of receiving your images and reliving your memories of the day.
I’m professional, organised and experienced so you can be sure to take comfort in the knowledge that what is an important aspect of your special day will run smoothly and exactly as you want it to without any bossing around or upset to your guests!
Everybody’s wedding dream is different and each couple will have their own style on the day. It’s really important to choose a photographer that can reproduce the thoughts and ideas you have – and hopefully that’ll be me!
I offer all couples a personal service which includes an initial consultation so I can get to know you and understand how you envisage your day. I’ll also visit locations prior to the day itself, allowing me to be creative on the day.
There are several packages that I offer, all of which are adaptable to suit your needs for your day. Whatever your your choice or budget, you are guaranteed to receive a stylish set of professional photographs that stand out from the crowd. In addition, unlike many other wedding photographers, each package includes an unlimited number of photographs which are provided on a personalised hard drive and/or DVD.
But don’t just take my word for it! I have had the privilege and honour of capturing couples’ engagement shoots and weddings over the last few years and I am so grateful to each and every one of them for choosing me to tell their story through my eyes. It’s been a real pleasure getting to know all couples and their guests and here are just some of the lovely words of kindness they have had to say. . .
