Who’s the guy with the Camera?

It’s quite a daunting task trying to tell you about me, my life, my influences and approach to Weddings in just a few short paragraphs, so thats why I created the video’s below to at least cover a couple of those topics.

Here’s 3 speedy facts for you for the time being. I’ve watched both the British and American versions of ‘The Office’ more times than should be socially acceptable. I whole heartedly believe and campaign for the fact that the humble ‘Fish Finger Sarni’ is the most underated sandwich ever made. Last but not least, i got married in 2018, and safely put my hand on my arse and say it’s one of the coolest things i’ve ever done.

With this in mind, i’ve always approached Weddings with the same mindset I had for my own. I had zero desire to be dragged around for hour’s awkwardly posing in front of a camera whilst knowing all my family and friends are together having an incredible time. The idea of your wedding is to spend the day surrounded by your loved ones, and thats how I intend to shoot it. There’s always going to be times when a little creative flare helps tell your story, but for the most part, capturing you guys naturally and candidly having the time of your life is my sole aim when shooting your day.

It’s hard to talk about myself or this job without introducing the two reasons why this is all possible. My Wife and Daughter are the two greatest humans this planet has to offer and i’m utterly obsessed with them both. I’ll never quite work out how I got so lucky that I get to spend my life with these two, but it’s something i’m grateful for everyday.

I’m someone who isn’t great at sitting still, so exercise plays a big role in my life, be it at the Gym, Running or Boxing. That being said, just because i do them, doesn’t actually mean i’m any good at them!

And finally, i’m a SUCKER for a Coffee and a Pastry. Out of Wedding season, you can find me trawling the country in search of the best Coffee/Pastry combo out there!
