It’s been a long old time since I added to the blog and I need to amend that because there have been so many changes to keep you updated on, the most important being that a large part of my work is now commercial photography.
First and foremost, I AM STILL A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER! After 15 years the love and passion I have for it is absolutely still there but the past few years have meant that I have had to shift the balance and start touting other income streams. I now shoot ten weddings or less a year and the rest of my time is taken up with commercial photography work. Shooting a reduced number of weddings is beneficial in many ways and the first being client relations. When I was shooting 40+ weddings a year, I had zero time to meet all those couples and felt like I was failing by not giving them the attention they deserved. This year though, I have had couples over for cuppas, games, and even dinner. I have had long and lazy conversations on the phone and was absolutely delighted when a meet up in London was possible ahead of one big day. These things are so important to me, and while I love the work, I love the relationships even more. I feel like good things have come from the position I found myself in and I am running with it. That said, I’m already half booked for next year so if you want me to photograph your wedding in 2025 you had better get in touch!
All my experience as a wedding photographer means I have the skills to photograph many other things and that is exactly what I have been doing to fill my time. Throughout 2024 I have had the pleasure of photographing so many local businesses, individuals, bands, events and even schools. The list is so much longer than I was expecting and it’s been a pleasure to make so many new contacts…and friends.
I could go on and on but I just wanted to give you a taste of what I have been up to alongside the weddings I still hold so close to my heart. I won’t ever leave completely! You can come at me for all of your photographic needs now via my new website… REES IMAGES. It’s not complete yet and I have so much to update but I would appreciate any visits or shares you are able to give. Thanks so much for your support so far x
