Fanfare, please! It is such a relief to finally be able to share these big news. When I found out over a month ago that I had been chosen to be featured as one of Rangefinder Magazine’s ’30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography’, I was pretty gobsmacked and so very honoured. Unfortunately I was under strict orders not to tell ANYONE (like really, no-one!), until the issue was published. That was the hardest thing ever!
So, it’s such a joy to be finally able to celebrate this achievement properly. This list has included some of the now biggest names in the industry in the past, and I’m certainly in very good company this year too. It’s also humbling to be the only UK photographer, on the list, I’m not sure if there ever has been one on there before (not to mention a Finn!).
A huge thank you to all the people I’ve worked with, you’re the ones who make it all possible. Bottoms up!
