Who is your dream client?
My favourite kind of wedding is one where I click with the couple from the get go. They have a passion for fashion and all the little details in-between. One where I know the couple has chosen me because they love my photography and my approach to weddings. They are choosing me based on my art, not my price or availability. They trust what I do and let me do my thing.

To put it simply - enjoy the best day of your lives and we will work our magic and create something wonderful together.
