There’s always a reason to hit the dance floor! Here are just a few:

• Stress Relief: Shake off the stress and feel the beat!
• Celebrate Love: Weddings, anniversaries, engagements – love deserves great music!
• Good Vibes Only: Music + Movement = Instant Happiness!
• Unite & Connect: Dancing brings people together – let’s make memories!
• Because… Why Not? Life’s too short to stay still!

They say a change is as good as a rest, and I couldn’t agree more! While I don’t often get weekends off, I’ve been fortunate enough to mix up my work these days, splitting my time between being a professional DJ and a professional photographer. Occasionally, clients ask if I can provide both services for their event, but I have to decline. Each role demands such a high level of dedication and focus that it's impossible to do both at the same time and still deliver my best work.
​
I feel incredibly fortunate to make a living from two of my greatest passions—music and photography. It's not something I take for granted. The variety keeps things fresh and exciting, and even though balancing both can be challenging at times, I wouldn't have it any other way.

I would like to say 'I'm not just a pretty face' but that's very subjective! So, I will just say 'I'm not just a DJ'

I tend to 'mix' my working life between photographer and DJ (excuse the 'mix' pun I couldn't resist)

These snapshots are from a recent wedding shoot I did and I had an absolute blast with this couple! It was my first dive into Chinese wedding customs, and let me tell you, I've developed a newfound appreciation for Chinese tea.
Wedding days can feel like a whirlwind, but taking a breather for some posed photos is key. Pro tip: Plan for about an hour or so for these shots. Make a list of must-have family members to ensure no one gets left out! Trust me, you won't regret it.

​I usually kick off with a big group shot post-ceremony and then narrow it down to just the lovebirds. From there, it's all about capturing those creative moments before you get back to enjoying your big day.

I’m currently inviting clients to check out my photography and take advantage of my special introduction price on weddings. I’m no stranger to weddings, for the last 10 years, I have worked as a professional wedding DJ and host. I’m often involved with weddings from the very start of the ceremony, the wedding breakfast and right through to the very end of the night. As a result, I know weddings inside out and I have fined tuned my services to be one of the best in the industry. However, there’s only one passion in my life that surpasses my love of being a wedding DJ/host and that is photography! Therefore, it's only natural that I should progress my career into doing what I love the most. (NOTE: I'm still taking bookings as a DJ)

I offer a professional friendly service and I’m always happy to go the extra mile and be very adaptive to suit all kinds of situations.

Another bow to my string!

As you can see from my website, I’m no stranger to weddings. For the last 10 years, I have worked as a professional wedding DJ. I’m often involved with weddings from the very start of the ceremony, the wedding breakfast and right through to the very end of the night. As a result, I know weddings inside out and I have fined tuned my services to be one of the best in the industry. However, there’s only one passion in my life that surpasses my love of music and being a wedding DJ and that is photography! Therefore, it's only natural that I should progress my career into doing what I love the most. (I'm still offering my DJ service, but at the same time adding another bow to my string).

I’m currently inviting clients to check out my photography and take advantage of my special introduction price on weddings. In return, clients will get my professional services and I will get to showcase some wedding pictures. 

Apart from visually liking a photographer’s work, one of the biggest questions and concerns many people have before hiring a photographer is what sort of photographer they are and how do they work? Some people will feel very conscious of being in front of a camera whilst others prefer to be directed. Perhaps weddings are the best example of how the two different styles of documentary and formal styles are most obvious and clear cut. However, I’m personally very flexible and sometimes a hybrid approach using both styles can often be the best of both worlds.

​A formal style will mean the photographer will direct and aim to get a set of shots that represent the day, for example, pre-wedding shots that include Wedding dress portrait, Boudoir photoshoot, zipping up/buttoning up wedding dress, Fun shots of bride and bridesmaids, etc, followed by ceremony shots, post ceremony and reception. All of which will have a large element of direction from the photographer and may at times feel slightly intrusive. Some couples may even feel slightly irritated by the formal approach at times as this style will take up valuable time that many clients would prefer to be spent being in the moment on their special day. Therefore, it’s not just about feeling conscious of being in front of a camera as to why some clients prefer the documentary style.

Capturing people who are unaware of their picture being taken often produces the most amazing and natural results so even with the formal approach, there will still be an element of both styles used. The documentary style takes away the pressure of being posed, directed, interrupted throughout the day, and the photographer will aim to melt into the background. Although this sounds ideal, there may be opportunities missed. For example, setting up for a shot where the father of the bride sees their daughter in her wedding dress for the first time. To guarantee capturing this moment will require some direction from your photographer.

Once you have established a loose idea of what style and approach you would like, the next step would be to have a conversation with your potential photographer to see how well you get on. Feeling comfortable and able to convey what you feel with your photographer is essential.

I always aim to have a consultation covering all aspects of the shoot before the day.

BOTH PACKAGES GIVE FULL COVERAGE OF YOUR DAY FROM PREP RIGHT THROUGH TO DANCING AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN-BETWEEN.​

Below is a checklist of shots I will aim to get for you, however, not all references will be applicable, details will be discussed at our consultation.

I rarely get chance to take pictures when I working as I'm very focused on doing my job. People often assume that being a DJ is a cushy job, and I suppose there is elements of that, as I get to play music for a living, meet lots of fantastic people, travel to some beautiful venues and attend amazing events.  However, there's a down side. For example, the heavy loading of equipment, late nights, dealing with abbreviated people over loud music, the stress of making sure everything runs to plan and unsociable hours. Perhaps the best part of this job is knowing I have contributed to help create some lifelong memories for my clients. Here's a few pictures of just some of those moments in time.
