If someone told a younger me that by 2014 I would be a full time wedding photographer.  I probably would have laughed.  And here I am, at the time of writing, in 2017, heading towards my 100th wedding.

With a Degree in Law and qualifications in International Trust Management,  I had visions of myself living in the Bahamas and doing all sorts of (legal) things with taxes.  It just so happens, I don’t really like numbers or anything to do with tax.  The vision was short-lived.

In 2011 I had my first taste of wedding photography, when a good friend asked me to take photographs on the morning of her wedding.  She based my ability on the photographs I had taken at her hen party, of which I can’t remember. I am laughing even writing this. Said photographs remain under lock & key. I was given total freedom to photograph as I wanted and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed myself and how natural it felt. 

Fast forward into 2012 and there I was, in London, at...Westminster Abbey…photographing my first wedding. Life is a funny old thing.

I have my mum to thank for giving me photography as a creative outlet. Waved off on summer camps and school trips with a camera in hand and a gentle reminder to "try and get some people in the pictures." My track record was blurry images taken out of bus windows, uninteresting buildings, empty fields and the backs of peoples heads.  

In spite of questionable image quality, looking back, even as a child, I can see that I had a desire to use a camera to tell stories of what I was feeling, experiencing, seeing and doing.  

Now, I get to tell stories for other people.
And I get to call that my job.
