Here are the main reasons why my previous clients chose me to capture their day, and why you should too!
- They love my style – light, airy, natural and unobtrusive. No cheesy poses and no heavy editing to make you look like completely different people. My work is also considered timeless, so you can look back at your photos for years to come without finding them become dated.
- They love my approach – I can’t tell you how many times couples and guests alike have raved about how they almost forgot I was there! I manage to capture everything without sticking my camera in everyone’s face and getting forced smiles. Instead, I capture the laughs, the tears and the cheeky moments that would otherwise get forgotten about.
- I’m good in an emergency – I’ve seen more hiccups at weddings than you could imagine, but I’m glad that each moment has taught me how to calmly deal with them in future. Sometimes the camera is set down while I help with a tricky lace-up wedding dress, sometimes I’m running out to my car to fetch a spare pair of tights for a bridesmaid (I always have spare!), and I almost always end up helping to co-ordinate the day. I don’t just do photography, I use my wedding experience to do whatever I can to make your day go as smoothly as possible.
- I’m a full-time photographer – I used to work another job alongside running my photography business, so I’ve had the “pleasure” of trying to juggle both, and let me tell you, IT’S HARD! The last year I have been entirely focused on my photography, which means that I can dedicate my whole week to meeting clients, answering questions, and of course editing and delivering your beautiful photos!
- I don’t like sales – I hate sales. I hate being pressured to buy things I don’t want, need or can’t afford, and I certainly won’t ever do that to my own clients! My packages include my time and your images on USB, no nasty surprises. All USBs come with a print release so you can get your photos printed wherever you want – unlike most photographers I won’t make you print them through me alone.
- I’m professional – it may be boring, but sadly it’s necessary. I’ve been in business since 2009, I’m fully insured (liability and indemnity, as well as all my gear), I have a full range of professional camera bodies and lenses and back ups, too! (Very important!) and I’m registered with HMRC and pay my taxes like any good self-employed person. I also have a lovely, clean CRB check as I work with children quite often.
- I care about you and your special day – and I’ll do whatever I can to make it right for you. I put care, attention and dedication into the planning process, the wedding itself and the editing and delivery of your images. If I wouldn’t be happy to receive them myself then I’m not happy to give them to you.
- I’m easy to get along with – So many of my wedding clients become friends or lifelong clients, and I’ve been told repeatedly that I owe that to my friendliness. You put a lot of trust into your wedding photographer, so it’s only right that it’s someone who you feel a connection with. Whether we share a love of ‘Friends’, or I end up dancing with your grandparents for an hour or two after I was supposed to leave your wedding, it’s never ‘just another wedding’ to me and you’ll never be ‘just another couple’.
- Customisable – it’s your day, and if you need to make changes to make your day perfect then we will make it work. Don’t see a photography package that suits your needs? Just ask me, we can tailor make a package which does exactly what you need it to.
- I love my job! – as simple as that. I do wedding photography because I want to, not because I have to. If I have one regret in my life so far it’s that I didn’t take the plunge into photography years earlier. I’ve always known it’s what I wanted to do, I just needed my confidence to catch up with my ambition 🙂
So if this is what you want out of your photographer on your wedding day, all you need to do is get in touch with me and we can start planning!
