About me
Hey I’m Amy
And it’s Wass, rhymes with ‘moss’, by the way. Got that off my husband Jeff who I married 3 years ago, in a castle by a beautiful lake in Italy. We’ve been best friends since college. We live in Southampton with our two cats, Mog and Morbo.
Some other random stuff about me…
• I love music, mostly with guitars.
• I drive an old convertible Mazda. My hair is usually messy. On sunny days this, and the loud music, is the perfect tonic.
• I laugh at bad jokes. My current favourite: What cheese can you hide a horse in? … ..Mascarpone.
• My favourite food is curry
• I am addicted to Diet Coke.
• I like playing geeky board games.
• I go to the cinema a lot. My favourite films are Waynes World and Shaun of the Dead
• I have a twisted love for spreadsheets.
• This year I am learning screen printing.
I love photographing weddings, the best of them are emotional, colourful, romantic, fun, crazy whirlwinds, with interesting people, stunning detail and memorable moments. Photography has been a hobby and a passion of mine for years and I feel privileged to get paid to do this thing I love.
• I learnt photography on film, and love the chemically magic of printing in the darkroom.
• All my work is digital now. My main camera is a Canon 5d MkII. My favourite lens is the 35mm f1.4 L
• I do all my own post production and album design work.
• I favour vibrant colours and punchy black and whites, for a timeless, classic finish, but can add vintage toning or other effects if you like that look.
• I hate having my photo taken. I really do get it when you say that too. I hope I can change your mind.
