For me, life is about passion...
Passion for love, for art, for music, for food and for life.
From a young age I had an obsession with drawing and painting. This love for art allowed me to develop a keen eye for detail and as years went by I searched and experimented with different mediums to feed this creative hunger within me until I found my passion...photography.
I photographed my first wedding over 13 years ago and instantly fell in love with it all. Being able to immortalise a moment and to document such an important milestone in peoples lives is exhilarating. Since then I’ve not looked back unless it’s to see how far along this journey I have come.
Steve Jobs once said “your work is going to fill a large part of your life and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do”.
I absolutely LOVE my job and everything that comes with it. I feel so blessed and humbled, as it’s given me so many opportunities. I’ve travelled around the world photographing weddings, meeting new people, judging & competing in many prestigious photography competitions, speaking & educating at numerous conferences and being able to teach sold-out workshops around the world.
To photograph a wedding is a huge responsibility, one that I take seriously, but capturing those fleeting moments throughout the day and being able to create breathtaking portraits gives me a huge buzz and a sense of achievement.
Knowing that the images I create will be passed onto future generations pushes my creativity and allows me to use my heart and imagination to create beautiful art that in time will be priceless for these families.
It’s exciting working with clients using my style of photography which I like to refer as “fairytale timeless classics with an injection of fashion”.
