Katy on Jim
Jim originally trained as a biochemist and spent 12 years as a research scientist. Ironically, his first publications in the top journals ‘Science’ and ‘Nature’ were of his photographic work rather than his research. His love of photography grew while he was training to become a mountain leader, spending many weekends up in the hills whatever the weather. Photography was his means to capture and share the breath-taking vistas he was experiencing. Jim’s the guy who will painstakingly research the off-the-beaten track spots for your secluded ceremony, and the perfect time and place to capture the most romantic sunset couple photos. Jim’s mountain leader experience also means that you can rely on him to ensure that you’re safe and well looked-after if you’re getting married in the mountains.
Jim on Katy
Katy’s interest in telling human stories is rooted in a decade of experience as an award-winning documentary filmmaker for the BBC. Her documentary filming has taken her all over the world from the frozen forests of Canada to the bustling streets of India, from glitzy gallery openings in New York to quaint cobbles streets of Southern France and Italy. She’s made films with everyone from authors: Margaret Atwood and Phillip Pullman, to actors Helena Bonham Carter and Armando Iannucci. Telling emotive stories through images is something that’s become second-nature to Katy. Her approach to capturing a wedding or elopement day is very cinematic: she knows when to go for the epic wide and when to move in for the intimate close-up. She’s also really great at putting nervous people at their ease, and helping them to feel relaxed and natural on camera.
