A Natural, Contemporary Approach to Telling Your Wedding Story

This page is a walk-through of how I work on a wedding day — from the quiet moments in the morning through to the celebrations late into the evening. I’ve included some of my favourite images along the way, plus answers to a few popular questions couples ask.

My Approach in a Nutshell




Relaxed

I work in a calm, unintrusive way — no forced posing, no awkward interruptions. Just you, your people, and the day unfolding naturally.


Unscripted

The real magic comes from genuine moments. I’m always watching quietly for the honest, unsaid things that happen in between.


Refined

Composition, light, and timing matter. I’m drawn to natural light, strong framing, and the elegance of simplicity.


Present

I don't hide in the corner. I stay aware, connected and tuned in — so I can photograph things as they really feel, not just how they look.

What to Expect on the Day

Preparations


This is often one of the quietest parts of the day. I tend to keep things calm and observational — leaning into soft window light, deep shadows, and real emotion. Whether you're chatting with family, writing a speech, or getting into your outfit, I’ll document it naturally.

Ceremony


During the ceremony, I’m fully present but discreet. I don’t move around too much — I let the moments come to me. I’m looking for reactions, connections, and atmosphere. The way your parents hold hands. The nerves. The laughter. All of it.

Reception & Daytime Moments


After the ceremony, it’s about real connection. I’ll blend in among your guests and quietly photograph the interactions, details, and joy of everyone being together. When there’s time and space, we can also take a short walk for a few portraits.


This is often the time when we will photograph the requested family photos, too.

Evening & Dancing


This is where the energy shifts — and I shift with it. I embrace harder light, bold flash, and more contrast. It’s all about atmosphere: celebration, movement, joy.

A few things to note



// First and foremost, I always like to reassure you that this is my full time job, my profession, and although I do like to have a laugh and a joke with you and your guests, I take what I do very seriously. It’s a passion and I love it, but it’s also my business with my clients at the centre. On that, theres a massive amount of pride that goes into my work, as you can hopefully gather from looking through some photos.


// A note about backing up. Im always shooting to two cameras on a wedding day, and each of those cameras will have two memory cards. This is so that when I finish on the day, I can keep one set with me at all times until the photos are safely backed up.

In the past, I've had a memory card corrupt, just once, technology is never perfect, but everything was safe because of the system I have in place.


// When it comes to delivering the photographs to you, I don’t have an upper limit on what I give to you. If I like a photo, you will get it. I probably average about 500 to 600 photos, but for huge days with lots going on and a bouncing dance floor, you might be looking at 700 or 800 photos. Likewise, smaller or more intimate weddings might receive a few less.


// The photos are delivered in an online gallery which is secure. You can share this and use it to download the high resolution photos which you can print.


// Finally, a question I get asked a lot and with good reason, what happens if I can’t make it? First of all, I'd never cancel lightly. I’d never call you up and say "I’ve got a cold so I can’t make it". I’ll be doing everything I can to be there.


But if there was something catastrophic, I’ve got a really close circle of photographers and we call on each other when needed. We pass weddings around to each other when we’re already booked for dates, but more importantly, we cover each others backs. I’m fortunate enough that I’ve been able to help others in there more than I’ve needed it myself, but I sleep better knowing that they’re there.
