EDITORIAL ELEGANCE, CAPTURED NATURALLY
As a fashion-focused, candid wedding photographer I specialise in capturing the essence of your celebration with timeless elegance and a quiet luxury. For me, it's less about rigid, staged poses; your day is about authentic smiles, meaningful glances, and spontaneous laughter. I seek out the moments that truly reflect who you are - capturing them from a distance so you can remain immersed in every detail.
Your portraits will feel timeless and effortlessly sophisticated.
Together, we'll tailor any essential shots, but I’ll keep most of the day natural and unobtrusive. Many couples tell me they forget I’m even there towards the end of the day, until they look back and see the nuanced, genuine beauty of each fleeting moment. The result? A wedding album that resonates with memories and reflects the understated elegance of your love.
You'll be able treasure the images for future generations and feel the joy of real moments.

What to expect
I photograph wedding days with a sense of calm and discretion, capturing you, your loved ones and the atmosphere of your celebration as it naturally unfolds - without interruption or cliché.
For many couples, being photographed all day is a very unfamiliar feeling. My approach is designed for couples who value editorial elegance and a sense of quiet luxury. My couples remain relaxed, present and unselfconscious throughout their day, prioritising experience over endless posing.
For portraits, I offer gentle, considered guidance to ensure flattering angles and natural movement.
I pay close attention to the details you’ve thoughtfully planned from what you wear to your table settings - and all the one-off moments; a steadying hand squeeze before the aisle, the proud look of a parent and the care-free shapes on the dancefloor.
You can expect a curated preview within 24 hours, with your full gallery delivered within four weeks.

"they are absolutely gorgeous"
"Thank you SO much. I can’t believe how quickly you have got them to us!
We have spent all morning crying at these in the airport, they are absolutely gorgeous. You completely captured the essence of the day.
Thank you so much for making two very camera awkward people feel so comfortable and for being so lovely - you were a big hit with my family too!

FAQS
1 / What about the obligatory formal group photos?
Group shots are an important part of the day - especially for parents. Within your pre-wedding questionnaire, I provide space for a list - but I recommend you keep to a maximum of eight-ten group shots to make sure they don't take up too much time! As a rough idea, allocate 3-4 minutes per photography for moving people in and out (plus there's always someone MIA!). Ad-hoc ones can always be added on the day.
2 / when will i get my photographs and how many will there be?
I'll send you a few sneak peeks within 24 hours and aim to have your full gallery with you in no later than 4 weeks (often much sooner out of peak season). The amount of photos really varies wedding to wedding, depending on the structure of your day and the amount of guests attending, but for a full day of photography, you'll can expect a minimum of 500 final edited images (again, often much more towards the 1000 mark).
3 / what's your style?
The most common feedback I get is my calm and sometimes 'almost invisible' approach to capturing your day, making couples feel at ease. There's no 90's cheese or Chandler smiles happening here. I focus on documenting the natural moments, aiming not to take the wedding party away for too long. Even the Bride and Groom can be 'un-posed', finding a nice spot to allow you to enjoy a much needed moment to yourselves. This style is often also called 'candid wedding photography' or 'relaxed wedding photography'. That's not to say we can't get a few Pinterest-worthy portraits for you too. I follow the couple's lead in terms of what they are comfortable with - if that's running barefoot through fields or climbing clifftops, then great, I'll be there with you! If that's not your thing - also totally fine, I remain flexible to your preferences. My natural editing style is slightly warm and soft. You'll get some B&W ones included in your gallery too. In terms of wedding styles, I have two split sides. At heart, I'm a bit of a adventure-loving, country bumpkin so I do love anything outdoors and adventurous (I climbed to the top of a rock formation in my 3rd trimester for an engagement shoot), but then I also love that chic vibe - but most importantly I love to see all your personal touches and the love shining through. I've definitely shed many a tear behind the camera during speeches!
