Where to begin?

Hi, today i break my blogging cherry...

Wow, i never thought i'd be blogging about my passion but what the heck, i might as well share the love. My background in photography started at school back in the 90's with a 35mm camera, some classmates as models and the schools darkroom at the back of the science class.

Since then, i've had a fascination with photography although admitley when i left school, my passion turned to girls, nightclubs and booze. 5 years ago, i decided to get back into it and bought my very first SLR, a Nikon D50. And so they say, never looked back.

My first job as a photographer came when my wifes friends sister (complicated i know) asked me to do their wedding. Reluctantly i declined as i felt i lacked the experience not having photographed a wedding before. But the couples tenacity and charm made me re-think the offer and i decided to jump into the deep end without in any armbands.

If it was not for them believing in me and making me believe in myself, then my wedding photography business would be non existing... thank you Kate & James!

I have since photographed a number of weddings alongside another Pro to gain invaluable experience but also by myself with the confidence gained. I will i say this, i love being a photographer.

If you want me to help you capture that special day, get in touch. If you want me to create an awesome family portrait that will last forever, get in touch. Even if just want to talk photography or anything else, get in touch.
