An experience designed to feel calm, intuitive and considered

// from the first conversation to the final gallery

Every wedding is different, but the approach is always the same: to be present without being intrusive, and intentional without ever feeling staged.

Having photographed hundreds of weddings, I’ve learned how to read a room, anticipate moments, and move seamlessly through the day. This means being proactive rather than reactive, quietly aware of what’s unfolding, and ready before the moment arrives.

On the day itself, the focus is on ease. I work calmly and efficiently, allowing the day to flow naturally, stepping in gently only when appropriate and beneficial. There’s no constant direction, no interruption of meaningful moments, just a steady, considered presence throughout, which truly matters on a day that's meant to be fully lived, not performed.

​

Described as a 'loose editorial' style, my work sits somewhere between documentary and artful direction. Real moments are always prioritised, but with an editorial eye for light, composition, and storytelling. The result is imagery that feels effortless, elevated, and emotionally true.

our day so perfectly

Just as important as the imagery is the experience of having me there. Couples often share that my presence feels relaxed, supportive, friendly and genuinely enjoyable, helping you feel comfortable with me and fully engaged with each other.

Your images are then carefully curated and thoughtfully delivered, forming a cohesive visual story of the day. The aim is always to create a gallery that feels timeless yet modern, something you’ll return to for years to come.
