How I work.

A wedding photographer requires a very specific skillset; capturing those big and special moments is (would you believe) just one aspect!

Wedding photographers also need to be part chameleon - to be able to blend into the day, seamlessly, to capture those precious moments without getting in the way or making anyone feel uneasy about a lens being pointed in their direction.

On a related tangent, another skill you need in this job is the capacity to be part-psychologist. More often than you think, people can take a bit of convincing before they are ready to be photographed - and I'm not just talking about your camera-shy nephew!

Lastly - and most importantly in my book - is the ability to plan meticulously. As the old adage goes 'failing to prepare is preparing to fail'. This is your big day - so your photographer shouldn't be someone who takes chances. My job is to make sure that every possible angle is covered - from discussing and planning the individual and group photographs you'd like me to take, to bringing extra batteries and memory cards, all the way to packing big umbrellas in the event that the weather forecasters didn't get the memo about your big day!

Your Day, Your Way

At the end of the day, it's your wedding. 

The the most important thing is for the both of you to feel comfortable about being yourself and expressing yourself however you want to. My job isn't to tell you what to do - it is to understand your vision and deliver it.
