What it’s Like to Work with Me
I know that not everyone is comfortable in front of a camera, but that’s why I became a photographer. 
Because I understand completely how that feels.
I love helping people who are shy or have never even had a photo they like of themselves.
I believe that you CAN have beautiful photos, with the right photographer who understands and connects with you, anything is possible.
My approach is to help you to just relax, be yourself and have wonderful photos that you absolutely love.
I’ll take care of the lighting, tech stuff, all the details, and you just be YOU!
I want you to forget that I even have a camera in my hands, because that’s when I capture the most beautiful, natural photos.
A successful photograph is a record, a frozen point in time. A hug, a kiss, a special look.
That moment when you walk down the aisle, shaking like a leaf, and he starts to tear up.
We don’t realise how important photos are until later on, and see how much we all change and grow over the years.
Your wedding is the past present and future all at the same time…
It’s a rare celebration and gathering of family and friends.
How long is it since your whole family actually got together in the same room?
Having a beautiful documentary of this life changing event is priceless.
Imagine in 10 or even 25 years time, being able to look back and remember who you were, and see how far you’ve come.
My oldest daughter took one of my wedding photos and paired it with a photo of herself at the same age (24).
It was amazing to see those 2 photos side by side. We look like twins. How can you replace that?
These are the things that matter.
Not enormous dresses and fancy limos, or crazy instagram filters.
Pure, real photos.
That’s what I wish for you.
