Funeral Photography
Sensitive funeral photography taken by experienced, discrete and caring funeral photographer.
Funerals celebrate and honour a life and deserve to be chronicled.
To a family, a funeral is a time for an extended family to gather together.
To friends, a funeral is a time to reminisce about a friend who enriched those he or she knew.
To colleagues, a funeral is a time to acknowledge the person who helped them in their career.
Funerals are too important not be photographed.
