don't sweat,
just dance.
Almost every one of the clients I've worked with have said that organising their wedding has been stressful. Unreliable vendors, lack of communication, financial uncertainty... the lot.
As a photographer part of my job is to make sure that you feel safe and secure, that you know what's going on, that you know I'm hearing you. That I get you. Without that the pictures suck, and I hate taking bad pictures.
So let's do this right, from first step to last. You'll find everything you need to know below.

Being photographed is a bit like dating - the first one is always the most nerve wracking. So to get all those jitters out of the way every photography package I offer includes a pre-wedding engagement shoot.
We meet up at a location of your choosing, hang out, have a coffee and get some photos while I get to learn your vibe.
It can be as glamorous or as chilled out as you like and within 7 days from shoot I'll send you the gallery.
So when the big day comes we've already done this before.
