A brief history of my story so far…
Hi! I’m Callum, but please call me Cal. I’m 30 years of age and I’ve been practicing photography for 5 years and shooting weddings since 2021. Ive shot a wide range of weddings in my short experience, from small weddings in quaint local churches. Up to bigger weddings in great ceremonious cathedrals. I love shooting weddings and truthfully it to me is the best job in the world. Which makes me super excited to see what weddings and events the future has in store!
My journey with photography started like any lost young person who’s unable to decide on what to do with the rest of their lives. By running away from all responsibility, under the illusion of backpacking to Southeast Asia. After travelling around I’d started to see communities for travel photography on instagram, so with nothing else to do but drink beer and go to the beach I started to plan entering the photography world upon my return. Once home, it goes without saying I was totally brassic. But once working again, I bought a Nikon D7100 and a couple of photography books from Amazon. I then self-taught from these books when I wasn’t working at my job. I’ll skip past the long arduous stories of poor photos and failed experiments.
I found I really enjoyed it so decided to annoy my family by photographing everyone and everything at every opportunity. My cousin Holly who is a very talented make-up artist, saw some photos I once took of my Nan making some patchwork quilts and suggested attending some bridal make up sessions that some brides had booked with her. So, eager to find out what the craic was I went with her and enjoyed every moment.
Least to say I went once and have never looked back, that then led to weddings of friends and then those weddings led to my first clients and then that led to my first year in 2022 which was my first wedding season! And the rest as they say, is history. Honestly, to me it is the best job in the world not only because it’s photography but also because it’s so social and fun shooting people on the best day of their lives. Plus, I love being amongst a proper knee’s up! So, if you’re planning a wedding and thinking of booking with me. I can offer some funny stories, a proper laugh and a relaxed day shooting so what are you waiting for?! Hit that button below and let’s get it started!
Thanks for reading this, hopefully I will feel less of a stranger to you now. You can head back to the Weddings page via the menu or if you don’t want to take my word for it go look at some of my testimonials! Either way, hopefully I’ll be speaking to you soon!
