About Me

I am a mother of three boys (three boys, being punished for my sins!) and have been a fan of photography for years. I started shooting weddings seriously about five years ago. With the arrival of my twins, I decided to reduce my working hours in order to spend more time at home with my boys. Using photography to make up for the loss of income was a natural progression.

This is where you will be able to catch regular excerpts of what I am up to...

I hope you'll understand that at this time of the year, amidst all the crazy hustle and bustle of last week (including an unexpected near-ordeal with one of the midgets), has meant that I do not have much time to spend on the blog.

So here you are, finally, one of two posts that has been way overdue: This being my third wedding at Greenleaves, but, it seems totally different from each of my prior assignments. It's funny how, despite how many times I have been to any given venue, that every ceremony is always completely poles apart; each having its own special atmosphere.

I think that's what makes photographing weddings so fulfilling - it's the people who make the celebration and their vast assortment of friends & family that also add to the uniqueness of every occasion.

If there is one experience I would take away from this particular wedding, to treasure forever, it would then have to be the beautiful and personalised service that the pastor delivered. It had both parents in tears and reminded each and every one of us just how fast time flies. A baby girl born; a boy on his blue BMX and, in a flash, here they are, twenty-odd years later - Susanna and Rousseau in front of both families, getting married to start their lives as one.

Thank you so much for allowing us to share your marriage ceremony with you. It was so full of love and laughter and I wish that you'll have plenty more to come in your future together!
