I love nothing more than capturing the special moments in your lives whether it's a wedding - I adore capturing the love, story, emotions and beautiful details of your day, a beautiful maternity session - capturing those precious moments, the changes of your body and to your life before your new addition arrives or once your baby is here, capturing the precious first moments in a newborn session either in studio of lifestyle in your home.
I'm very fortunate to live in the gorgeous countryside surrounded by the hills, fields and fresh air, plenty of walking for me and my slightly crazy dog who I adore!
My approach to photographing weddings is predominantly fine art and story telling, I love capturing those beautiful moments, stunning details and the story of your day as it unfolds. My style is light, dreamy, soft, airy and romantic.
I can’t describe how it feels to be a part of a couple's day, to be there capturing those precious moments of what is usually a couple’s most special day of their lives for them to look back on and treasure for many years means so much to me and I take great pride in my work for every couple. I can often be heard saying to my friends that I have the best job in the world because I really do, I love what I do very much. It makes me incredibly happy and proud to know that I’ve made people so happy as a result of my work and they have a lifetime of stunning memories to look back on. (If you'd like to see what some of my couples and clients have had to say about me, please click on the comments tab above and you can read some of the wonderful things which mean so much to me!)
I would love to discuss your plans and ideas with you - lets meet for a coffee, get to know each other and discuss your day.
I'm happy to travel anywhere within the UK (and love working at venues I've never captured a wedding at before) and if you're planning your wedding abroad then please let me know, I'd love to travel overseas too!
I also love to capture newborn babies right through until they're a year old (and older). I offer beautiful newborn photography sessions, 'watch me grow' sessions and cake smashes (smash the cake sessions) for children celebrating their first Birthday. I also love to capture families and couples too - I've been very fortunate to be invited back to some beautiful venues and locations to cpature couples who have grown their families over the years.
I love getting to know my couples so don't be shy on the details, it's lovely to hear how couples got engaged (there's always a good story) and I love to hear what plans you have for your day. If you think that I could be the right photographer for you, please do pop me a message (along with your date, venues, plans etc) and I promise to not leave you waiting long for a reply
I like to think that I'm an ambitious and driven person with lots of dreams and aspirations both inside work and out. I have made my own little wedding 'Bucket List' filled with some of the things that I would love to photograph (some of the below I have already ticked off my list but I loved capturing them so much that I'd love to photograph more of them!), I've shared a few below and hope that you enjoy reading through them:
