A FEW OF MY FAVOURITES


As a documentary, storytelling photographer, I aim to capture your wedding as it happens. My focus is observing, anticipating and capturing moments spontaneously. Capturing genuine emotion of the day and adding my artistic approach to give it that seamless flow.

PORTRAITS


I love capturing some individual portraits & details of the wedding couple.

FORMALS


I shoot the usual group shots but I tend not to show lots of them as I like to focus on the unscripted moments of the day instead of standing around trying to organise formal family photos.

If you want a lot of formal family photos the I'm probably not the photographer for you. I usually recommend a maximum of 10. I am far more interested in showing you & your guests personalities!

DETAILS


One of my personal favourites! The amount of time & energy into your details of the wedding need to be celebrated, and that's exactly what I will do! These details are key for setting the scene for your big day.

COUPLES PHOTOS


The biggest worry for couples on their wedding day is usually the couples photos, and I get it. Many couples say they are "nervous", or "aren't great in front of the camera". But that's why you hire me! Its all about giving direction over poses, capturing the in-between moments & having a laugh (even if its aimed at me!).

I will give prompts but mostly I will let you both have some time together to naturally show your relationships personality & I will just document you!

But if you feel a little nervous, and I can sense it, then I will usually act like a crazy squirrel and give you something to laugh & react to.

THE PARTY


The drinks are flowing & it's time to dance! I think my biggest tip to keep your guests on the dance-floor, is to fill it with absolute BANGERS. No one wants a dead dance floor. So make sure your band or DJ give them a reason to stay and boogie, otherwise I will end up doing my awful dad-dancing to entice and trust me... it's awful!
