Personal Stories

PERSONAL STORIES

I’ve come to understand that there are three things I need each day. One, it starts with gratitude, I need things to be grateful for, another is something/someone to look forward to, and another is something to chase. For me, being a photographer ticks most of these on a weekly basis.

I’m a big believer that people ‘buy from people’ so seeing as you might be here because you’re trusting me with your wedding photo’s it’s only fair that I share some of my life with you. Below is a collection of personal stories (usually photography related) from my travels and working projects.
