Your Investment

My immense passion for portraiture, fashion and documentary photography has led me to the wonderful position of capturing people's wedding stories. The day where you betroth yourself to your soul mate and celebrate spending the rest of your lives together. Damn... it makes my heart sing... what a job!!!

Shhhhh... don't tell too many people but just so you know you're in very safe hands... I was shortlisted for the Taylor Wessing Portrait prize last year. Keep an eye out as I will get onto those walls in the National Portrait Gallery London at some point!! ;)

People will forget what you said,people will forget what you did,but people will never forgethow you made them feel.

MY STYLE + APPROACH

After 14 years in the industry my style and approach to each and every wedding varies as my clients are all such an eclectic mix. From personalities to venues my client's style envelops 5 star luxury to more paired back, modest affairs celebrated in the meadows of the Cotswolds. I love to get immersed in all kinds of celebrations... as long as there's loads of love, pretty things and a whole lot of good vibes the photographs will be elegant and timeless.

I use the same structure for nearly all my wedding clients as most weddings tend to follow a similar timeline - from getting ready to partying hard after the ceremony. I arrive two and a half hours before the ceremony to start setting the scene for your fairytale story. This allows plenty of time to document your chosen venue on approach as well as capturing the buzz of the morning preparations as everyone rallies around to keep you both calm and on time. ;-)

After the ceremony I delve straight into more creative direction as I steer your wedding guests into a large group shot of everyone followed by confetti pictures. Once these images are taken I whittle the group down so only those who are needed in the pictures (parents, siblings, grandparents and bridal party) need to stick around. Group photographs are roughly kept to 20 mins as I want everyone to be energetic and sparky; oozing with love, excitement and personality.

Next stop... you guys! We sneak off to create some magical imagery you'll want to show off to everyone for years to come. After soaking in your epic surroundings I select the best backdrops for your editorial styled shots that will look like they're straight out of a glossy magazine. These locations will be based on your personalities, styling choices and most importantly how the light falls. I want your photographs to reflect your love for each other as well as looking like a wedding feature in Vogue.

FAQs

Securing our wedding date

I receive hundreds of enquiries each year so I work on a first come first served basis. If you decide I'm the photographer for you I require a deposit of £200 to secure your date.

What happens at a pre wedding/engagement shoot

An engagement shoot gives us the opportunity to get to know each other and capture some amazing images to incorporate into your upcoming wedding. It offers you time to become more comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. You can choose a location which is special to you or I can recommend somewhere. We will spend approximately an hour capturing a number of natural portraits as well as some more styled shots you will love. You can expect to receive around 35 - 45 images from your shoot.

What if I don't like having my photo taken

Don't worry most people feel a bit awkward at first but I’ll put you at ease in no time! You can see from my organic style that couples are free to be themselves which is what creates beautiful, natural images.

Do you need to visit the venue

No. I shoot weddings all over the UK; it’s fairly common for me not to see the venue beforehand. I like to arrive early giving myself time to explore the grounds and interiors. I find this enables me to shoot with fresh eyes and produce my most creative work.

How long does it take to receive our wedding photos

I deliver a stunning preview of roughly 100 images within 7 days of your wedding. Your full wedding gallery will be delivered between 5-6 weeks after, depending on how busy my editing schedule is at that time.

How many photos do we receive

The amount of photos you receive is dependent on the number of hours of photography. My Micro collection (4 hrs) captures around 300 pictures while the full day option (8-10 hrs) receives approximately 650+ photographs.

Each image is edited to the highest possible standard. If I feel I can give more than the number listed I always do. Your investment factors in my time spent culling your images to ensure you are given the cream of the crop!

How do I book

I receive all my bookings online to ensure no vital details are missed. Click one of the 'ENQUIRE NOW' buttons and you'll be taken to a contact form where you can supply all your details. Once we've had a zoom call and you're still eager to book I'll send you all the info you need via my client booking system. This includes an easy to sign contract, your quote and a questionnaire all boxed up in a client portal for you so everything is together. Click here to book now

Do you sell wedding albums

I offer an exceptional album design service where I collaborate with Folio Albums. The collection of luxury wedding albums and professional photo books are designed with photographers in mind, offering unparalleled high quality that you will treasure. The range of premium albums are made in the UK, handcrafted in our Yorkshire workshop using archival inks, museum-grade papers and a range of beautifully curated covers to personalise. Not only is this an outstanding eco-supplier but they're UK based too so no unnecessary carbon footprints. As an Eco conscious supplier myself I pride my business on its sustainability and eco-friendly practices so partnering with likeminded companies is very important to me.

Do you have back up equipment

Yes, as a professional photographer I am equipped for any technical problem – should a camera, lens or SD card stop working I have additional equipment I can use. I bring a case with another camera, lenses, batteries, SD cards and flash lights.

What happens if you are taken ill

It would take a lot to stop me photographing a wedding. If the worse happened, and I couldn’t photograph your wedding, I have a network of fantastic photographers who would capture your day. The photographer's work would be of a similar style and quality to mine and I would edit, and deliver, the service after the wedding day.

Are you insured

Absolutely, I hold full public liability and indemnity insurance.
