I have been a professional photographer for over
14 years. Before setting up my own business I
trained and worked as a press photographer,
photographing many events and high profile
people. During this time I am proud to have
won many prestigious awards for my work.
This background has been invaluable since
being a wedding photographer as I work
quickly and unobtrusively, making sure most
of your day is enjoyed with your guests, rather
than posing for me!
The best thing about being a wedding
photographer?
I get to capture one of the most precious days
of your life.... what’s not to love about that?
