To ensure the supplier is the perfect fit, schedule a face-to-face meeting or a video call to discuss your day and ensure everyone is on the same page. Don’t be afraid to ask plenty of questions; a good supplier will take the time to answer any concerns and offer advice.

I had a passion already for photography and, in particular, capturing people. After seeing some fantastic photographers posting photos online and on social media of weddings, I decided to give it a try! I’m glad I jumped in and just went for it, as I’ve now been capturing weddings for six years. What packages do you offer nearlyweds? I have three different packages to suit all budgets and requirements; this includes a half-day session for important moments, a full-day service with a photo book and an extended day option with an engagement shoot, second shooter and prints. All these options come with a USB backup and speedy customer service! How would you explain your photography style? On the day, I like to be aware of the surroundings while reading the crowd – nobody wants a pushy photographer. I know when to blend into the background, the best time to step up and make decisions and how to get the key moments covered. I have a light and airy photography style and emulate the filmic look with my editing. What is your favourite part of the job? I enjoy meeting new people and love the fact every wedding has a different feel with many characters you meet on the day. My job is more than just pressing a button; it’s everything from organising, planning and getting people confident in front of the lens. It’s a very social job, so I need to interact with guests or otherwise, it will be a very long day! Check out: www.absolutephotouk.com
