ANDREW KAHUMBU - NORWICH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
I’m the youngest of 9 (yes nine!) siblings and I spent the first half of my life living in Kenya surrounded by my huge wonderful family. I grew up riding BMX bicycles, playing squash, bird watching and going on Safari in the bush. It was fantastic! My mum and dad made up photo albums for us all as we were growing up and I’d often go through the 9 albums reliving the childhood of my older brothers and sisters. They were much older than me, so it was also a bit of a history lesson. It was a fantastic way to document all our childhoods and made me realise the value of taking photographs and of making and keeping prints.
Fast forward 21 years and I moved to Norwich to study Environmental Science at the University of East Anglia, UEA. My high school girlfriend and soulmate joined UEA a year later and after we had both graduated and settled in to work life, we got married. 5 years ago we had our first son Kasper and we did a “switcheroo” and after my wife’s maternity leave I took over. It was one of the best decisions ever and I decided to turn my amateur photography hobby into a professional business. 2 years ago our second son, Noah, joined our little family. You might see us out and about with Teal, our incredible Duck Tolling Retriever.
