Every photographer is different. We all photograph and edit uniquely. My colours I edit, are “true colours”. I do not desaturated or tone images orange. My classic “real colours” will stand the test of time and will never date or go out of fashion. 
WEDDINGS: When choosing a second photographer, their aim is to photograph all your quests, whilst I focus on you and your family members. This makes for beautiful thank you gifts for your guests as well as a treasured keepsake for yourselves.
