David Millington
While my work is a lot of fun, I am very committed to perfectionism and professionalism and I’m a qualified and active member of the British Institute of Professional Photographers and the National Society of Photographers. I work alongside my wife, Sara, a professional layout artist, which means our final images and albums are always absolutely beautiful and ready in record time. I’m really into my technology and gadgets, especially anything with an Apple logo. This really helps me keep on top of my game as a photographer, as I’m always interested in how technology can help to further develop my photography. Aside from the latest technology trends, I take inspiration for my work from a variety of different places. I'm constantly looking at imagery on blogs and in photography magazines as it's important to understand what’s current in the industry. I try and keep my work fresh by seeking out new scenic and inventive backgrounds at wedding venues. No matter how many times I’ve worked at the venue, there’s always something new to discover.
