“Your wedding day tells a big part of the story of your love, your passion. Choosing the person to capture those moments for you is incredibly important; finding someone who is as passionate about capturing the story of your day as you are about it makes sense. So, why me? What makes me so passionate about what I do? Here’s a little of my story that may help answer that question.

In 2007, while living in the UK, I experienced fatherhood for the first time. For a man it kind of creeps up on you. I mean, as a ‘bloke’ I never really fantasised about becoming a Dad, nor was I in a hurry to become one. But it did!

It might sound like a cliché, but boy does it change a guy! Suddenly I started to really care; care about others around me, care about my own health, care about the world I live in and most of all care about that little bundle of joy I helped create and bring into the world.

I had found emotion, and started looking at life from a completely different angle.

Over the next year I found myself attending 3 separate professional family photography sessions, each costing a small fortune! But I didn’t once question the importance of obtaining quality photos of the only thing that mattered to me – my family!

Fast Forward to 2009, we’re still living in the UK and now expecting baby #2. This is when I came up with a new plan; I decided to purchase a DSLR camera as opposed to spending another small fortune in London studios. I can do this and save us money! The order went in and the camera arrived although with all that was happening I didn’t do much more then charge it before the new arrival to the Townsend family soon joined us.

The arrival of #2 was a little unorthodox for this already father of one. Unorthodox in a way I would never have imagined, forget, or ever want to change! It seems #2 was a little anxious to join the family, so anxious we wouldn’t make it to the hospital on time! Therefore, yours truly soon stepped into a new role as sole midwife, and the tiny en-suite bathroom of our London flat became the delivery room! The paramedics arrived about 5 minutes after my beautiful daughter! And once my hands stopped shaking, I grabbed my freshly charged DSLR and took a shot of the event that had just unfolded before me.
