Award winning Photographer. I make it my mission to capture the personalities and mutual passions of each bride and groom I photograph in order to tell a story and create unique memories. By acknowledging that no two weddings are the same which is why I specialise in offering a bespoke and personalised wedding photography service. The key to capturing the perfect wedding photography is ensuring the bride and groom feel comfortable enough to show their true nature. I succeed in achieving this by arranging to meet each bride and groom for food or coffee (and cake) before the big day.
