Tell couples about your experience and approach
I have been shooting people with a camera for over 30 years, since I was a kid. I love telling stories through pictures and finding ways to make my clients day extra special. I understand how important it is to connect with my couples, to help them through the day by allowing them to relax. How special their photographs will be in their and their children's future. I am a relaxed, easy going chap, who will tell the complete story of your day through beautiful and natural photographs. I like an informal approach, but enjoy taking the 'formal' shots too. If you choose me, you can have total confidence that I will deliver a superb set of images that you will cherish forever.
Are you super chatty or will be you be a fly on the wall?
I like to make light jokes, and to be a smiley but relaxed shooter, however it is not my day, not about me so I will fade into the background and move around quietly capturing smiles and laughter without you hardly noticing me.
What can couples do to get the most out of their wedding photography on the day?
Relax and enjoy it. When the day comes, all the hard work and planning will be over. This day will play in their memories for the rest of their lives, so they might as well have a ball!
What are your artistic influences?
As a professional singer I love the story telling side of capturing your day. I like reportage photography. I enjoy a mixture of black and white images.
What was your favourite wedding shoot, and why?
My favourite wedding shoot was at York Minster, with hundreds of guests. I was tired that evening, but the majesty of the venue was worth it.
What kinds of moments are you looking to capture?
I am looking to shoot every key and special moment. I specialize in laughter and smiles. I am always looking for interesting angles and light. If I can capture secret glances and smiles between the couple, the wiping away of happy tears, the holding of hands and more, then I am happy I have done a good job.
Why should couples choose you as a photographer?
Because of my experience. Because of my artistic sensibilities as an opera singer and an international soloist. Because I have spent my entire adult life working with people in stressful situations and understand how to not only stay calm, but to radiate calmness and professionalism. Because I take my work incredibly seriously and am totally trustworthy. Because I love what I do and my passion for my art will be infectious.
What is the most important thing to you when you photograph weddings?
To capture the entire story of the day, to leave nothing out so that the families can experience the magic of the day every time they look through their images.
Which venues have you shot at?
York Minster, 
Helston, 
London, 
Exeter... From the largest venues to the smallest registry offices.
What's the most important thing couples should know about you before they book?
That they can relax after asking me to take care of the documentation of their day, safe and secure in the knowledge that they will have everything taken care of, and that their images will be wonderful.
