I started photographing wedding in the early stages of 2018 when a lovely bride approached me to photograph her wedding reception. At this point I hadn’t photographed a wedding nor been to many to know much of the experience. I was given trust and freedom to work in a way that suited me as at this stage I had no previous wedding work to show. I am forever grateful for this couple, who gave me an opportunity that has changed my life. I was able to use my knowledge and many years of wanting to photograph such honest emotions. It opened my eyes to an entire world of magic. A place where story-telling defines the art in which I was creating and something I have always felt so powerful about. A space to capture moments that are so real and raw, the faults and the emotion both good and bad. Every little detail that often holds sentimental value and an entire visual mood-board that represents everything about your love story and day. My first bride’s wishes for an authentic and natural documentation of her day matched me as a person and as an Artist 1 million times over. It gave me freedom to explore, to practise and to perfect.
