I combine documentary-style candid shooting with creative direction, focusing on authentic emotions and storytelling. My press background informs a natural, unobtrusive approach to capturing events.
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes, I photograph weddings across the UK and internationally. Travel costs are discussed during initial consultations, with flexibility for destination assignments.
How far in advance should we book?
Peak dates book 12-18 months ahead. Contact me early to secure availability, though I occasionally accommodate shorter-notice bookings depending on schedule.

Full-day shooting, two photographers for larger events, unlimited location changes, and 600+ edited images delivered digitally. Custom packages available for specific needs.
How do you handle bad weather?
Rain adds drama to photography! I adapt creatively, using umbrellas, indoor compositions, and alternative lighting to ensure compelling images regardless of conditions.
Can we request specific shots?
Absolutely. I welcome shot lists for formal portraits or family arrangements, while prioritising spontaneous moments that define your celebration's unique character.
