How long before the wedding should couples book an appointment?

12 to 24 months is ideal timing so we can catch up and arrange a face to face if possible, although the sooner the better as your date might be snapped up!

What's your favourite part of the job?

There are many parts to it I love but the few that stand out are capturing dad when he sees his daughter in the dress for the first time and also having a moment with the couple immediately after they have tied the knot, its the coolest thing!
