It is hard to have a set price as it depends on the hours of the day I am required and also the number of people within the occasion, (if a second or third photographer is needed). For Photoshoots prices start from £250, Parties and Events from £450, and for Weddings £1500

When I work with my clients I always ensure they are fully aware of what they will be getting with me, and so a consultation is usually the best way. I like to show my previous examples of my work, explore what they like or what they would like to have, and work together to make really special moments come to life. My clients are always fully aware of what to expect before booking with me. I like to keep in contact via any means phone, text even WhatsApp! Which ever is most convenient for them!

Well I would have to be completely honest and say that I learnt photography from a very young age from my father! He was a photographer by hobby and would take his photos and develop them by himself while studying! He has been my inspiration! And from there I had my first camera at 8years old. I have a degree in Architecture and loved this field of work, however after 5 years of doing wedding photography this had become my new passion.

From a young age I was interested in photography, but never actually thought about doing it as a profession. With my architectural background I have been used to photo editing and being bold and creative with it. I started with doing photo restorations and even painting portraits on canvases for people, which would take hours or even days. .Then I thought to myself, capturing it on camera would be quick and fun! So I decided to try capturing catwalk events, Asian wedding events and then it lead to wedding photography as a profession and I actually love it! It was a risk, however hard work pays off. I am proud to be the owner of my company and to be able to confidently assist my clients on their special occasions.

I captured a Pre-Wedding Photoshoot which took a few hours. I had an amazing time during the Holi themed photoshoot I captured early on this year. It was a Holi themed shoot where the couple threw coloured powder at each other in a playful fight while I captured the shots for their wedding day canvas and slideshow. This was an amazing turnout and the couple were ecstatic with the results!

I like to ensure my clients know that communication is vital for a professional photographer, and nothing else! I meet my clients before each event and keep in contact to the date of shooting to ensure the itinerary/job requirements are up to date and both parties fully prepared. I ensure all is followed through during the day of shooting by liaising with my client where necessary. I then keep in contact with my client for the final product to be produced. All the client needs to do is be themselves on the day! For all customers looking for photography assistance it is important to know that you find similar reassurance from your chosen photographer, and is vital that you feel their way of working. This is because, it is actually the work though their eyes what you will receive at the end of the day.. which also needs to be inline with yours.

All clients should be aware of a few vital things.. 1. The type of photographer that will be used on the day of capture..are they energetic and ready? Or highly stressed and busy? This is the person you are trusting to capture your memories. Your photos will come out in the eyes of the photographer, if they are not prepared this will affect your quality of photos. A calm, energetic and confident photographer is usually the right one. 2. Length of process to receive your photos.. Sometimes this can be miscommunicated, allow a good time frame, but always expect a definite date. 3. The level of knowledge the photographer has regarding the specific occasion.. For example..If it is a wedding with a specific religion, does the photographer have experience of this specific religion and know how to capture this? Ask questions and don't feel rushed or hesitate to ask anything! If you do then they are probably not the right photographer for you.
