Being a wedding photographer, I’m blessed to do a job that I absolutely love. At every wedding, I get to witness, document and share intimate moments in people’s lives.

As you can imagine, my photo library is filled with images that show how important the people we love are to us. At last count, I have more than 150,000 images in my photo library.

I often get to scroll through collections of images photos from wedding days past, instantly reminded of “that moment” at each wedding. That’s the good thing about photos, especially emotive candid ones, they transport you back in time and remind you how you and others felt.

So here goes, I hope you enjoy 30 favourite images.
