On 21 May 2010 Stephen rose to his feet in the dining room at Langtry Manor, Bournemouth. It was his wedding day and time for his speech. It went well. He said all his thank-you's and introduced his beautiful wife. I never imagined I would feature! But Stephen went on.. "Today is Tim’s first wedding. Let’s hope it won’t be his last!". Jokingly, this alluded to the potential risk they had taken hiring a new business (this wasn't lost on the guests, they all laughed). Well Stephen, thank you for the opportunity and here’s to another ten years!!

In truth I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I decided to become a wedding photographer. Yes, I had trained and prepared excessively to equip me for someone's special day. But the 10 - 12 hours I often spend at a wedding is only a fraction of what I do. As anybody who is self-employed will tell you plenty of time is spent on admin, accounts, software, training, developing a business model, developing a brand, advertising, websites… the list goes on. But I have loved it!

Without a doubt it has been a huge privilege to be part of so many lives. It is a great responsibility to capture a couples wedding day, and I am proud of what I have done (if not a little surprised how much I have been able to help people too!).

Every wedding is different. I've been to some amazing places and worked with some wonderful people. I don't know what the next ten years will bring, but I can promise the same level of commitment, quality and service that has come to define my business and reputation. Thank you to all the couples who have enjoyed my success, I am truly grateful for your support and the part you have played in my dream job.
