MY approach as your

wedding photographer



so you can feel relaxed and present on your wedding day

I’ll be there with a calm, friendly presence on every wedding day I’m lucky to be part of.


From those quieter, anticipation-filled moments in the morning through to the tears, the inside jokes, energy and emotion across the day, being able to document your it all is what I love most. From the carefully chosen details, to the incredible food, the thoughtful gifts to the vibey dancefloor, I'm here for it all! Once you’re booked, I’m fully invested - not just in the photos, but in your experience as a whole.


I'll gently guide you when needed, often through simple movement, helping you relax and feel more like yourselves. That’s when the real laughter, emotion, and everything in between naturally happens.


Trust me to guide you when it’s needed, step back when it’s not, and capture it all as it truly felt - the big parts, the quiet ones, and everything in between.

FAQs

We're awkward 〜 how will you help us feel comfortable in front of the camera?

To be completely honest, most couples come to me saying this 〜 and I totally get it! My aim above all else is to create an environment where you feel comfortable, allowing you to be 100% yourselves. With my relaxed and friendly approach, I want you to feel naturally at ease and able to fully enjoy every moment together whilst allowing your personalities to shine through!

I’ll gently guide you when needed using natural prompts and direction, focusing more on genuine connection and interaction rather than awkward stiff posing. The result is a balance of candid moments and beautifully relaxed portraits that truly feel like you.

What's the difference between documentary and editorial wedding photography?

Candid and documentary wedding photography focuses on capturing real moments naturally as they happen, whilst editorial wedding photography tends to have a more refined, elegant and fashion-inspired feel.

My style is mainly candid and documentary capturing your day in a relaxed, honest way whilst gently guiding you for natural, elegant portraits that have a modern editorial feel but never feel posed or stiff.

How would you describe your editing style?

My editing style is true-to-life, timeless and naturally refined. Subtly enhancing your images whilst keeping the colours and tones authentic to how your day actually felt, creating beautiful, natural photographs you’ll love looking back on for years to come.

Have you photographed our venue before?

I may have however if I haven't, there's no need to worry at all. I'll research your venue ahead of time and always arrive early to explore the venue, scout the best locations, and get a feel for the light and surroundings before the day begins.


Every wedding is different 〜 even at the same venue, depending on the time of year, weather, and atmosphere on the day. Beautiful photographs are much more about atmosphere and genuine moments than familiarity with a venue.

What happens if it rains?

As much as we all hope for sunshine, we live in England and a little rain definitely doesn’t need to ruin your day! And honestly, it can make for some really romantic photographs too. I’ll always have backup plans and indoor options in mind, so there’s never any need to panic if the weather changes. (I also often keep some umbrellas in my boots 〜 just in case!)


My approach, as always, is calm and flexible, making the most of whatever the day brings while keeping things feeling relaxed and stress-free for you both.

How many hours of coverage do we need?

This really depends on the kind of day you’re planning, what moments are most important to you and your photography vision.

Most of my couples choose full-day coverage, which enables me to capture everything from morning preparations through to the dance floor, allowing me to tell the full story of the day.

I do also offer hourly and half day coverage so if you’re unsure, I’m always happy to chat through your plans and to help you discover what coverage would work best for your day.

How far will you travel for our wedding?

I love photographing weddings all across UK, and travel throughout England & Wales is included within my UK full-day wedding package.

For shorter coverage weddings, a small travel fee may apply depending on your date and location.

I also offer destination wedding photography packages for couples planning their wedding abroad which already includes any travel fees for Europe 〜 I'm always happy to travel for a beautiful love story or an epic celebration!

How long does it take to receive our photos?

I know how exciting it is to relive everything after your wedding day, so I’ll always send a selection of sneak peeks within 24-48 hours for you to enjoy and share with family and friends.


Your full gallery will then be carefully curated, edited and delivered within 6–10 weeks (depending on time of year) ready for you to excitedly relive all over again.

Are you insured?

Yes 〜 I’m fully insured with public liability, professional indemnity, and equipment insurance, giving you complete peace of mind on your wedding day.

What happens if you're ill on the day?

In the incredibly unlikely event that I’m too unwell to photograph your wedding day, I have a trusted network of talented photographers with a similar style who I can reach out to for cover. I would do my utmost to make sure your day is still stress-free and beautifully captured.
