Weddings are beautiful to shoot. Everything from the little details , through the venue, to the people of course, is just so beautiful that it becomes a dream come true to any photographer. I have always loved weddings. I have loved the atmosphere of love and joy, the laughter and the sense of togetherness. I have always been drawn to it and it became my dream to work in the wedding industry. I had always been mesmerized by weddings- the dress, the veil, little flower girls wearing adorable dresses, the buttonholes, the cake, the confetti... Everything is just magical.

Becoming a wedding photographer was a way to experience the magic as a part of my life. I wanted to experience it over and over again. A photographer preserves the magic.
And I needed to do something creative. Something that would allow me to express my artistic soul and share it with other people. Photography allows me to do just that.
It took me a long time to finally decide to make this move. I was not sure how or where to start.
I offered to shoot my first couple of weddings for free just to get used to the industry. Then I started charging very little. Having had little experience, I didn't feel I was in a position to ask for hundreds of pounds for my services.
I have grown in confidence since, I know the flow of m work and I am able to set my camera in advance to achieve desired effects.
So why do I still charge low prices?
I enjoy my work and I do have some experience to fall back on but I am still new to the industry. There is still a lot for me to learn.
I want to offer my services to those who are fine with the fact that I haven't shot tons and tons of weddings. But I believe everyone deserves to feel special on their wedding day. Every Bride. And Groom. Having a professional photographer certainly will make you feel like a million dollars. In the end of the day, those precious memories should be preserved in a special way so you can cherish them for years to come. It is worth it. Believe me.
