When I was planning my wedding over 10 years ago, it came to picking the photographer, and there were so many choices and so many different styles. I knew I wanted great photography, but I also wanted to know a little bit about the person photographing my wedding, which inspired me to write about… me!

I started my journey as a wedding photographer back in 2015 where I took a training course with my wedding photographer, keen to learn the skills and the craft. I loved it from the start and I have never looked back. I usally have a camera to hand which causes my children mainly to pull funny faces now when they see it.

This portrait of me was taken at Hazlewood Castle on a photography development course. I ensure that I am up to date on the latest skills and techniques, this helps me keep at the top of my game and ensure that I capture the best shots on your wedding day. You can pick from so many wedding photographers but you want someone who is constantly developing like myself. 

When I have some free time, I enjoy watching a movie (usually Star Wars or superhero-related) but I also love strategy games, which help me to plan and manage my time which is only a good thing when running a photography business. Taking time out with my family is important and helps me to rest and relax so I am ready for the next wedding or photoshoot. We spend time walking through the countryside or around an old English Heritage castle; it is much more acceptable to have sword fights now I have two little girls to duel with.
