I create ethereal and romantic imagery in an editorial and photojournalistic style.

With a strong affinity to timeless black and white imagery, I am drawn to quiet moments with heartfelt connections, unguarded beauty, motion  low light.

My approach is warm and gentle, with 10 years of photography experience I know that beauty exists in honesty, intimate moments are their most genuine and beautiful when uninterrupted. While my work has an editorial edge, the majority of your wedding day is me photographing the day in a documentary way – as it naturally unfolds. During portraits, a glass of sparkling, a prop, or a few conversation starters can help encourage the beginning of an intimate moment. My galleries have loads of movement in them, so if my couples are feeling uncomfortable, we go for a walk – I find natural movement helps people feel at ease and to look/feel more like themselves.

My favourite moments to photograph during a wedding day are not always key moments. A less-obvious moment I adore is the 10 minutes that follow directly after speeches. Often, the couple will have walked over to the speakers to thank them. Everyone is relaxed, they’ve had a glass or two of sparkling and unfolding are these unguarded moments of genuine connection between the couple and some of their most treasured guests.

My couples are my greatest inspiration, I tell each of their stories honestly, artfully and stylishly so that each frame is oozing with their unique love and affection.
