Interests
Wedding photography is a keen hobby of mine and I pride myself in delivering very high quality professional images. I like to push myself to always improve my techniques and abilities and have had to take a step back from weddings to progress in my IT career despite being very successful at it. I am also a very keen musician and have been playing various instruments for well over 10 years in bands that have won awards across the United Kingdom.
