Looking for a Wedding Photographer?

I shot my first wedding in 2012 as a favour for a friend and fell in love immediately. The ability to use my creativity whilst travelling and meeting new people at weddings was the perfect match. I've since been able to expand this experience into videography, exploring my creativity even further.
