There are times when you take a photo but you instantly know how great it could’ve been, if only… If only that tree wasn’t playing havoc with your leading lines or the solar panels on that cute cottage weren’t messing with the chic vibe of your photograph. Sometimes you just have to accept ‘it is what it is’. It is, after all, one of our common selling points to couples around the world, we often claim to be documentary-style photographers, seeking those ever-so-candid moments.

For many of us, the landscape of our business has changed immensely over the past few years due to the impacts of COVID-19.

This all just bought to the fore what some of us have known for years (and maybe not acted upon yet)…that not all Weddings are created equal and we need to provide services to suit both the client, our style and our goals. This differs for each of us, but it’s always good to keep an open mind and have a look and listen to what others find to be working for their business and lifestyle.
