WHY CHOOSE ME?

SWANSEA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

I'm a self-taught professional photographer. This means, despite having initially studied photography at college, that the majority of what I have learnt has come from years of hands on experience. I typically don't believe that you can be taught photography or to be a good photographer. You can learn how to use equipment, but you cannot be taught what makes a good image... that comes from passion and experience - both of which I have. I rarely leave the house without my camera, because I see photography as far more than just a job - it's something I just absolutely adore. I think this is important as it means that every image I take matters to me, and not just to who I am taking the photograph for. I am a perfectionist and only produce images that I would be delighted to receive. Every wedding or event that I shoot demands one hundred per cent of my commitment and attention.

I'm fortunate to have travelled extensively throughout the world. This means that I have experience of a range of cultures, people and environments which is reflected in my approach to wedding photography. I believe it is all about capturing the moments; something which has always formed the foundations of my travel work. I am also fortunate to have had images featured on National Geographic, Lonely Planet and have experience of award-winning landscape photography. I am one of only three other Welsh photographers to be awarded membership of the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA - http://www.wpja.com/) and have experience of shooting weddings both in the UK and abroad - meaning I am very familiar with a range of ceremony approaches, people, venues and pretty much everything!
