Debra is an experienced, versitile photographer with exceptional people skills, with a friendly disposition. She is sure to capture your perfect day
Debra says ” Hello – my name is Debra Parry and I want to photograph your wedding day. Most people would agree that “the day whizzes past” and it is true – so a skilled photographer is a high priority to document the fun and emotion of it all.
Experience – I have photographed many weddings over the past 3 years, both here locally and around the country. My style is quite informal – documentary if you like, as I aim to relax you and your guests as much as possible to get those lovely natural shots that you will treasure forever. I will work hard to provide a high level of customer service to my clients and can cater to most requests. I pride myself that I am a people person and would like to think you will find your photographic experience with me a calm and pleasant one.
About your day – I will want to meet up with you to discuss your requirements at least twice before the event, this is for us to get to know each other a little and to discuss and finalise your photographic requirements. I will ensure that the Registrar / Church is contacted to ensure that I shoot respectfully and within all limits, and I know the Mud Club well, so shots in and around the venue would be no problem. I look forward to meeting you., Debra Parry
