Hi everyone! So this is a new and exciting little venture I am starting on the side of my photography business.

I have always had a love for these little illustrations and even had one created for my own wedding website, I was so thrilled with the results I became a little obsessed and decided to start creating some myself.

So if your looking for that perfect & unique gift of a family portrait, to add that something special to your wedding stationary or even to send out a cute birth announcement you have landed in the right place!

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

I have a select few of second photographers which I choose from to work with me at my weddings. They are all qualified and work within the wedding industry too. On your wedding day I like to think of the second photographer being the grooms photographer for the day whilst I am the brides. Documenting your story from both perspectives. They will photograph the groom getting ready whilst I am with the bride, photograph canapes whilst I photograph your couple images and fill in where needed.

Choosing a photographer to capture your special day is a HARD task! My number one piece of advice is that you need to be able to mesh well with your photographer in order to feel absolutely comfortable infront of their camera.

First, familiarize yourself with my work and if you love it get in touch. We can set up a meeting and chat all about your big day over a cup of coffee. Or book an engagement session with me and see if you feel comfortable with the way I work.

My approach is to document your big day in the most natural way possible. Other than the traditional family and group images I completely avoid any 'posed' images. During the couple photographs I will guide you and give you direction, but, it will be to do a natural action and not a posed one. For example I will ask you to practice your first dance, give eachother a kiss or hold hands and walk into the distance. So I will never leave you feeling lost or wondering what to do ;)

The only list I work from on the day is the family/group images list as to ensure no one is missed. I prefer not to work from any kind of shot by shot list on the wedding day "bouquet, dress, rings, bride walking down aisle" etc.. It completely takes away the essence that is your wedding day and whilst constantly checking the list... I am missing atleast 5 beautiful moments happening around me.

With 6 years in the industry I am very much aware on what needs to be captured.

But I am perfectly happy to get one or two special requests that may be out of the ordinary! Or if you would like to send me a pinterset board just to show me the style of photographs you love, I would love to see it! Not to copy it, but to draw inspiration from what inspires you.

Yes please! We often start our day hours before your guests even begin to arrive and work up quite an apetite with being on our feet and on the move for more than 6-10hours, with little to no breaks in-between. Food keeps up our energy and sugar levels so we can stay up on our feet for those last few hours until the bouquet and garter have been thrown!

It is also a good idea to ask that your venue does not feed us last and rather about mid-way of serving your guests. So that we are finished with our meals before the next speech or toast, esuring we dont miss any action and we are not standing around photographing uncle Bob chewing through that big piece of steak ;)
