YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
This is the place where you can find out a bit about your potential photographer. I love shooting weddings with all the rollercoaster of emotions, fast paced action and quiet emotional moments. I’m warning you now that I’m likely to cry at your speeches, and boogie on down on the dancefloor flashing everyone (photographically speaking) as I go! I also love shooting families, after all this is how my journey back to photography started. Read on, and see if you think we’d click.
The Story So Far
Where it all began
As a child in the Philippines, I was obsessed with cheap disposable cameras
The next step of the journey
In 1984 I moved to the UK. Everything was new and exciting but I didn’t have a camera with me. I became obsessed with musicals, old films, cats, tea and cake.
What I did next
Went to uni and trained as a Social Worker, got married, had children and renewed my obsession with film cameras! I was also in the last cohort of people doing the film Open University Course before it all changed to digital.
The other thing that happened
After endlessly photographing my own children and other friends’ children, I started my business and went full time photographing both weddings and families. Hooray!
Where I’m going
I was a full time wedding photographer until COVID happened. At that point I returned to social care and started supporting people with learning disabilities in a day service. I still do that now for a few days a week ( I love it!) and I’m still a professional photographer for the rest of the time. I try and get the occasional day off for a bit of work/life balance but it doesn’t always happen!
