As one of the founders, I have played a role in every aspect of Bride & Groom. It's great working with such a dedicated team and knowing that our magazine is held in high regard. As a fashion photographer by profession, it is wonderful to still be kept so busy doing the kind of photography I have always felt passionate about.

I've enjoyed writing for Bride & Groom since 2004, and couldn't wait to step into the role as editor. Beautiful photos, amazing love stories... it certainly doesn't feel like a job! Now I need all the help I can get planning my own wedding – I'm in the right place!

I love talking to people, and can't believe my luck that I get paid to do it. 
I'm not engaged yet (hint hint!) but look forward to getting married and 
can't wait to use all the tips from the mag.
