10 Years. On the 31st of July 2015, I photographed my first wedding.
It was for my physics teacher, Zoe, and her now-husband James. For a reason that I still don’t understand, they trusted me to photograph their wedding on 10 years ago today. This set me on a course which changed the trajectory of my degree, my career, and definitely my life.
10 years and 300+ weddings in, I still pinch myself that this is what I get to do. To document. To storytell. To laugh and cry and reply to emails at 1 a.m. and be on a beach photographing a couple running down the shoreline, all within the same day. To have phone calls crying with a bride when a life-changing event has postponed their wedding. When a beloved family member has passed and if I can print something out for the funeral. To speak with crowds of photographers at conferences and even do talks and workshops of my own.
I’ve been so fortunate to document weddings across the UK, France, Greece, and Spain. I’ve made incredible friends in the industry, with my couples and with their guests. Other photographers and videographers have become like brothers and sisters to me. I’m so grateful for everything.
Every time I’ve had a setback, I get back up, I’m that bit stronger and more creative. And learn valuable lessons that mistakes do happen and I sure won’t make them again.
My photos have been printed in magazines and billboards, but more importantly, my photos grace the walls of couples’ homes, their office desks, phone homescreens, coffee table albums, and grandmas fireplaces.
My couples are at the heart of everything I do, and I always want to stay true to that mission. You have these photos for life, and I want you to cherish them.
I wouldn’t change the past 10 years for the world; the experiences I’ve had have shaped the person and the photographer I am today. Thank you to everyone who has supported me and all the couples who have trusted me. I don’t take it for granted. You make me so, so, so eternally happy and grateful.
