The Experience



It all starts with a warm hello.


I’ll break the ice, chat with your people, and once everyone’s relaxed, I’ll blend into the day like I’ve always been there—helping out, swapping stories, and keeping the energy light.


If there’s a moment that needs organising, a quick pep talk, or a button-hold that needs fixing, I’m there. But mostly, I’m all about giving you the space to be present with the people who matter most.


I know when to step back, when to blend in, and how to read the room. Watching for those fleeting moments—a knowing glance, a quiet tear, the peak of a laugh. Not just clicking away, but waiting for the perfect moment to unfold.


I’ll stay for the chaos—the drinks, the dancing on tables. We’ll sing to ABBA, strut to Rizzo, and maybe even attempt an MJ move. And when it comes my time to leave, I’ll give you both a hug, high-five the last ones standing, and quietly slip away.


Then, a few days later… ping goes your phone

Your Photographs


A few preview shots will land in your inbox, instantly pulling you back into the day. You’ll get a mix of the big, standout moments and the quieter ones—the ones that might feel small at first but, over time, become the memories that mean the most.


A tight hug, a crinkled nose laugh, the flicker of a tear, a fleeting glance, a hand held just a little longer. The perfectly imperfect moments that make a wedding day feel real. This is exactly why I do what I do.


I’ve spent over 8 years photographing weddings, learning when to step back, when to blend in, and how to read a room. I look for the beauty in the in-between—watching for that split-second glance, that swallowed emotion, that moment where laughter takes over.


It’s not about snapping constantly; it’s about waiting, watching, and capturing a moment at its absolute peak.

But none of that really matters.


What matters is those few minutes after your phone pings. How you feel the first time you see your photos—and how they make you feel every time after that.


If you connect with my work and can picture yourselves in the frame, that’s all that really counts.


Everything else is just background noise.

The Most Natural Portraits


I get it—posing for photos can feel daunting, but trust me, this won’t ever be arkward. When we step away for a few portraits, it’ll feel more like a stroll than a photoshoot.


We’ll pick the perfect time to sneak off—when it fits seamlessly into your day—so you’re never pulled away from the fun for long. No stiff poses, no awkward instructions—just the two of you, being yourselves, while I work quietly to create natural, honest images that feel like you.

When The Lights Go Low


The party is where the magic happens. It’s when the shoes come off, the ties loosen, and everyone lets go. This is the part of the day where I truly come alive as a photographer.


Unlike some photographers, I love staying late to capture the energy of the evening. The dance floor chaos, the laughter, The champagne & night time portraits, the wild moments you’ll want to relive forever—I’m there for all of it. If you’re throwing an epic party for your loved ones, you’ve found your photographer...
