Why weddings? I love weddings! They are such happy occasions, and it’s a real privilege to be part of the day. I love the elegance… the beauty… the chaos and I really thrive on the pressure!

How did you start? I’ve always had a strong interest in photography and since I was young, I’ve always carried a camera with me, everywhere I go. When I agreed to shoot a couple of weddings for my friends, I found I really loved it and decided this is what I want to do! I went about getting the proper training and qualifications and after gaining a Grade One Diploma in Wedding Photography, with the highest marks in my class, I set up my business and that was it – the beginning of my professional career.

Best bit about your job? Seeing the smiles on my couples’ faces and the emotion in their eyes when they see their photos. There’s always a certain amount of nervousness when I deliver the images, but when I get the feedback, I know that they’ve been presented with a beautiful collection that they love, and that makes me very happy.

Best moment? There have been a number of moments that I’ll always remember, such as gaining my diploma and qualifying first in my class… getting my very first wedding booking… winning the first of many national photography awards… and being invited and flown over to Norway by the father of one of my brides last year!

Favourite wedding? All weddings are unique and it’s so difficult to pick a favourite. I have genuinely enjoyed every single wedding I’ve covered, and each have had their own magical moments.

What is a typical wedding day? It really starts the night before, when I will check and recheck and pack all of my kit. After an early night and plenty of rest, I am normally at the wedding for most of the day and night – I’ll be photographing all the moments whilst trying to blend into the background, from the bridal preparations through to the first dance and often beyond. By the end of the wedding, I am so exhausted, but I am always filled with the anticipation of getting home to view all the photos from the day on my computer.
