Wedding Vendor

A little about yourself and what you have to offer this wedding community?

I'm a photographer from the UK that has recently moved into the wedding market. I’m originally from a very different background. After leaving school I started a career in surveying, and after becoming qualified I started working on a surveying job for a major client of the company I worked for. This lead to a surprising change of career to IT. It was completely unexpected, but I went with it and was developing applications for use by surveying and other construction industry teams across the country for over ten years.

I first got into photography when my daughter was born. As so many parents do, I wanted to record every stage of her life as she grew, not only to remember for myself, but also to show her as she gets older, and remind her of the things she used to do. I started the same way most people do, with a little point and shoot camera that I could take reasonable photos with, but after a few months I started to want better photos, photos that had that bit extra, and so I bought a decent camera and started to learn new techniques. Before long, the hobby was getting far more serious, with established photographers being sufficiently impressed with my work for me to consider making a living from it.

Since then I’ve made a few major changes in my life, and setting up my own photography business has been one of the more frightening ones! Thankfully, working with the kind of people I’ve come across so far, has made the move a very pleasant experience, and hopefully it has been even more pleasant for them!

As a lot of people seem to be moving away from liking the traditional posed shots, I like to give them a more natural coverage of their day. I try to record what happens on the day, rather than influencing them too much. Obviously I'll try to accommodate a bride or groom's wishes if they're after something specific, as I'm their for them, not just to build a bigger portfolio for myself! If I'm accepted into the community, I'll try give a positive contribution whenever possible, offering ideas and advice where appropriate.

Thanks for taking the time to consider me,

Lee
