At the start of 2020, as I was looking at the year ahead and feeling super excited about all of the weddings to come and the wonderful couples I was getting to work with, little did I know that 2020 had other plans in store. What was supposed to be a busy time of year suddenly became unexpectedly quiet as plans were cancelled and weddings postponed. As lockdown came into force, it became increasingly clear that this was just the beginning of what was going to be a hugely challenging few months for everyone.
Inspired by other photographers who were in the same position, I started offering lockdown doorstep shoots in my local area and found that families in my community were keen to capture this unprecedented moment in time.
