A typical day..

“Generally, I arrive a couple of hours prior to the ceremony for the bridal preparations to photograph the details; the dress, your shoes etc and all the fun in the morning! Then I will join the guests and groom half an hour before the ceremony to get people arriving and the groom waiting. Your arrival & the ceremony will be photographed in a discreet manor. After you have signed the dotted line, then we can go onto your group shots and those lovely confetti photographs. I never leave you or your guests bored with hours of standing around, instead the formals take around 20 minutes and I am always happy for guests to take photographs and join in. 

I then mingle with the guests getting natural images, as people enjoy drinks and canapés. Once you have had time to chat with your guests, I then take you off for 10 minutes or so to get some romantic couple shots.. This is usually as your guests are being sat down for the wedding breakfast (so they don't notice you are missing!) Then the rest of the afternoon including breakfast entrance, speeches, cake cut and first dance are all photographed. I always finish a few songs after your first dance, once I am happy that I have got images of most people up and dancing!”
