Getting to know you
Finally a bit of fun to help get to know each other a little better. From my years of experience I know how to capture beautiful, fun and natural photos of you and your guests enjoying your wonderful day. These questions are designed to help us get to know each other a bit more and have fun on the day so I have given some of my answers too :)
Please don’t worry if you don’t want to answer them all or struggle to do so. It’s just a bit of fun!
Where did you meet-
What was the proposal like, Where was it-
If you had to choose one music track to listen to on repeat what would it be-
Mine would be - I found you - Axwell. It’s a bit cheesy but it was a song I danced to loads with my wife when we first met, it brings back so many amazing memories.
If you could go on holiday tomorrow where would it be?
I would go to a beautiful surf town in Mexico called Sayulita ( well worth a visit)
What’s your favourite thing to do on a Sunday-
I love spending lots of time outside, go for a bike ride, walk or to the beach with my family.
Do you have any special skills or hidden talents that would be fun to photograph -
I can do the break dancing move the worm, although it never really goes that well, especially
after few drinks on a night out.
Thank you so much for filling this out. You are going to have the most awesome day and I can’t wait to capture it all for you.
All the best,
