How did you get into wedding photography?
I have loved photography since I was a little boy and it was my grandfather that first awakened my interest in it. He was a Captain in the parachute regiment during the Second World War and carried his Welti camera with him across Europe (ironically a German camera!). He took the most amazing photographs and to this day (he’s now 93) he refuses to hand them over to a museum!
So when I was young he used to show me how to take photographs and then how to develop them in the darkroom – the most fascinating place I had ever seen. My love for photography grew and grew, however it remained a hobby until five years ago when I decided that it was time to listen to my inner voice (and my wife) and do what I love professionally and give up the security of a corporate job and monthly pay packet. His camera, which he gave to me when I turned 21, now sits on my desk and is a constant reminder of why this job is so important to me…
Caroline, my wife and business partner, had less of a photographic background before we first met. However that soon changed and now after 8 years she is equally nerdy about expensive new camera lenses and adores photographic expensive shoes as well as buying them!
What do you love most about working with couples on their wedding day?
Feeling as excited about each wedding as we do when we attend a wedding as guests. We know our clients so well by the time their wedding day arrives that we’re thrilled for them. We can’t wait for the excitement of the morning build-up, can’t wait to see them actually getting married in the ceremony and can’t wait to hear the speeches. And we get to capture it all on camera for them to treasure always.
It’s never a chore. It’s always a joy. That’s why we love it.
How would you describe your signature style?
Beautifully natural. For us it’s all about the love between two people and and ensuring that as well as making them look gorgeous, we are able to capture that very private and personal look, that caress, that smile. We can only achieve this by building a strong relationship with clients based on trust and friendship, and this is where out focus is right throughout a couples’ photographic journey with us.
