What was it like to photograph your first wedding?

It was hectic. I was so nervous. It was all shot on film back then and I hate to say it, but I had no back up equipment……what was I thinking?

How long have you been taking photos for?

I’ve been taking photos for over 15 years and professionally for 5.

Can you tell us one of the most memorable moments you’ve had while photographing a wedding?

Most memorable would be a 4 day Indian wedding! 4 venues. 4 dresses. I got to experience a new and exciting culture. It was amazing. The food, the people! It was fab!

Have you ever witnessed any wedding disasters?

I had to shoot a wedding during a storm with hail stones the size of golf balls once! But we made it work and the photos were still amazing!

And finally, from all your experience, can you pass on any tips for those organising their big day?

Have fun and remember the day is about you and your partner! Pick a photographer who you connect with!
