More than just a photographER
I am a wedding and portrait photographer living in Amsterdam, originally from Scotland.
I love to tell stories at weddings in Amsterdam and at destinations around the world. I love to capture the connection between people in a intimate and emotional way. That's why I love wedding photography, Its about you and your story: the romance, the fun, the connection between you. I believe that a good photographer has the instant ability to connect. Connections are what make photography great. Being able to make someone feel comfortable in front of the camera will always make the best images. I believe the best photography comes from the ability to connect with the subject and the moment.
Your wedding will be amazing, epic moment in your history, and you will never want to forget it. I try to shoot at a distance and in the background and create an honest impression of the day with some special quiet moments for the wedding couple. With the photos you get, you will keep the feeling in your hearts and minds forever after the venue, the guests, the drinks, and your budget ;-) are a distant memory.
If you're getting married in the next couple of year, please get in touch. I'd love to be a part of documenting your story.
Let's CONNECT! ;-)
