I’m here to capture the emotion of your special day and to tell your unique story in your way.
Imagine in 50 years’ time when you are showing the grandchildren your wedding photographs, you should feel those same emotions you felt on that day. I pride myself on being more than just a photographer you hire to take photos on your wedding day. When you hire me, I become your friend and your biggest fan. I’m all about love and all about hearing and capturing your love story, capturing moments you'll have and treasure forever.
The smiles, the laughter, the tears – I’m here to capture it all. I will smile, laugh and cry with you when you walk down the aisle or during your speeches. You have full access to my emergency kit of supplies for your wedding day and I will dance to all your wedding songs while snapping away. This is what I love to do and I will give you beautiful, emotive images that you will cherish forever, photographed in the most honest and authentic way.
My photography is described as warm and moody. I'm a fine art documentary style photographer which means I capture things as they happen and make them look beautiful through soulful unposed storytelling. I photograph all the main moments for you and also all the moments in between that you won't have even thought of, but will mean so much to you down the line; the little glances, hand touches, faces of your loved ones; all the things that make your story uniquely YOURS. I love working with natural light, however, I always keep my flash in my pocket for dance floor or night-time shots.
I love being outdoors and finding awesome places and beautiful venues to photograph loved up people and families. I'm also a Natural Trust member so I have access to some amazing places all over the UK! I use a few prompts to help you relax and find your best angles however, I just want you to have fun and be authentically you and leave me to capture your unique love story! I’ve learned to work in all kinds of weather conditions so whatever the weather – don’t worry – your photos will be beautiful.
MY PROMISE TO YOU
I promise to capture your day to reflect YOU; to photograph all the moments you'll love now as well as everything that will be important to you for all the years to come.
I promise you will enjoy your photographs; that you'll feel relaxed and treasure the moments of connection you share together on your special moments, and feel those emotions you felt that day through your photographs. I truly care about how excited you are to celebrate with all your loved ones and understand how important it is to be your eyes for the day and capture the emotion of your moments in each photograph, for you to relax and enjoy and soak up all the moments.
I promise that YOU'LL FEEL IN SAFE HANDS with me as your photographer!
