DEAL BREAKERS.

Since covid I’ve given up my office and embraced the Zoom life. I wont be offended if you want to chat with your comfiest trousers on and a brew in hand. I *definitely* think that loving your photographer’s work, or their price alone, isn’t a good enough reason to book someone; I spend more with a bride on her wedding day than she will with her new husband and if we don’t gel then it’s going to be pretty tedious to have me about!

I spend people watching and ear wigging conversations, looking for people with a tear in their eye, embraces, the moments, the belly laughs, crazy dancing… You get the idea. Just occasionally I will check in on situations to avoid missing the bits that shooting a load of weddings has taught me to anticipate. I feel that group photographs are important, but not so important that they stop you having a good time; you’re hosting your guests to drink champagne with them, not stand in a line with them smiling at me, so I suggest no more than ten group combos to get them done as quickly as possible so you can get back to hanging out with your favourite people.

I absolutely don’t do naff poses and if you’re anxious I will gently guide you through them but with as little intervention as possible because as soon as I get too involved, those images stop being about just you two… I also find that generally people are pretty loved up on their wedding day and they don’t find a smooch and a snuggle too tricky!
