MY APPROACH
YOU KNOW YOU WANT
TIMELESS &
HEARTFELT
IMAGES...
...But what you may not realize is that you also need a wonderful experience with your photographer and that’s what I promise to give you. In order to get those natural, genuine portraits that truly capture who you are, you have to feel comfortable with the person taking them. It is so important to me that you feel completely comfortable and your true selves around me, as the way you feel while you are having your portraits taken heavily influences how you feel when you see yourself in the final images. I have worked with over 250 couples over the last 14 years and I can honestly say it is 100% possible to love how you look in your images if you feel
comfortable while having them taken! Creating comfortable, joyful and genuine client experiences is what I specialize in!
The Wedding
EXPERIENCE.
CHLOE & GRANT, UPWALTHAM BARNS
“Thank you so much for being so amazing on the day & for capturing our day exactly how you promised you would. The photos are more than we could have wanted & for someone like me who is really camera shy, I couldn't be happier with how they've turned out, Thank you so much!”
YOUR VISION
YOUR STORY
YOUR DAY
I enjoy and spend time getting to know you & your vision for your day. I am extremely focused on creating images for my couples that capture your day your way.
I love to be able to tell your story -
The light, the location, the people, the laughter, the tears and all the in between moments that are so special and unique to you
I love to immerse myself in your day and capture it all as it unfolds around you. I aim to provide you with a set of images filed with elegance and emotion that you can treasure for a lifetime.
I take time to get to know & listen to who you are & what approach you need me to bring to your wedding. If you are shy & a bit nervous then I can be more discreet & take a step back, if you need more direction & guidance I can make some suggestions on how to pose & where to stand so the light hits just right. If you’re more outgoing & need me to get involved with the guests on the dance floor I can do that too! Ultimately it’s so important to me to capture your day with a genuine reflection of who you are.
here to capture
WHO YOU ARE.
I understand that it can be uncomfortable and awkward being in front of a camera, knowing what to do and where to put your hands! I have learned over the years that not one couple is the same - everyone is beautifully unique.
My images are elegant, romantic and timeless but they also have a creative and editorial edge.
I am experienced, calm & relaxed & aim to simply blend in but behind the scenes I am extremely focused on creating images for my couples that capture your day your way. I don’t stop watching, observing, moving and documenting throughout the day. The light, the location, the people, the laughter, the tears and all the in between moments that are so special and unique to you. I love to capture all of these, I love to immerse myself in your day and capture it all as it unfolds around you.
I aim to provide you with a set of images filed with elegance and emotion that you can treasure for a lifetime.
