It probably goes without saying that a wedding is the most important day of your life; commitment, love, and happiness shared not only between you (the couple) but also in front of all your closest family and friends. That's why I feel it's important to capture every moment of your day; and in a personal way that explores everything that means anything to you.
A big part of videography and photography, at least for me, is sharing a story. And what better occasion is there than a wedding! I'm passionate about finding the little things that really come together to make your day special. Personal connections are everything. I want to find out the backstory behind every little detail at your wedding; perhaps an aunt has produced beautiful bouquets, or the table decorations have been made by hand by a friend. Perhaps the wedding is themed (however subtly) around an important life event or location (perhaps where you first met).
To truly produce photographs or a video that encapsulates your marriage, it has to be more than just capturing the main event. That's why I like to sit down with the couple and find out as much as I can about their story; their journey together so far, and what matters to them most.
This is all about you!
The following information is only provided in a ball-park kind of way; every wedding and every couple is unique, but I thought it would help to give an overview of what you can expect. In reality, any 'plans' would be tailor-made to suit you! The first step is usually a quick email, followed by in-person chat(s) and/or virtual calls so that I can really get to know you as a couple.
Don't ever hesitate to ask any questions; no matter how ridiculous they may seem. Remember: this is your wedding. Your story to tell. Help me to tell it!
