Wedding Stories
As a wedding photographer I’m a storyteller
Every wedding is different, it’s one of the things I love about my job. That’s why I take on only a small number of weddings each year so I can dedicate time to get to know you, to talk about your plans and understand what’s important to you. This lets me capture all the carefully chosen special touches, the people closest to you and the emotions you feel to create photos that truly tell your story.
Every wedding story is different, but here’s a selection of some of my favourites…
