You want loads of natural, candid photographs — but also want to have fun.
I’ll capture the laughs, tears, hugs, chaos and little in-between moments, while being someone you can actually chat to, have a laugh with and feel comfortable around.

You want relaxed, natural portraits that actually feel like you.
I'll give you enough direction to get great photographs without making you feel awkward or overly posed. We can keep things natural, have a bit of fun and make the most of the two of you.

You're not always super confident in front of a camera.
Don't worry — most people aren't. I'll keep things easy-going and help you feel comfortable while still getting photographs you'll love.

You like warm, bright and natural photography.
With rich, crushed blacks and classic, high-contrast black and white when the moment calls for it.

You want your wedding photographed as a whole story.
From the big moments to the tiny things you didn't even notice happening — all the people, atmosphere and memories that make your day yours.

 

I am obsessively creative, thirsty for out of the ordinary adventures, a bit of a chatterbox, and someone who can usually find something to talk about with just about anyone.

I've spent over 13 years working in photography, but weddings are where I get to do my favourite thing: hang out with lovely people and make photographs that tell the story of a brilliant day.

I'm pretty relaxed and easy-going, and I want you to feel comfortable having me around. I'll know when to step back and let things happen, and when to get involved, have a laugh and help create a great photograph.

Outside of photography, I'm happiest outdoors, travelling, discovering good food, listening to live music, getting stuck into a graphic novel or planning my next adventure. I'm also obsessed with dachshunds — when I eventually get one, it'll be called Rolo.

Basically, I want your wedding photographs to feel like you — and I want having me there to feel like having another friendly face around, rather than someone constantly pointing a camera at you.

 
 
 

Places I really, really want to photograph:

The lost jungle city of Angkor, Cambodia

The most derelict portions of the Great Wall, China

The northern lights in, Iceland

The stunning mountains of the Dolomites, Italy

The bright lights, backstreets and ancient temples of Japan

The remote north-west of coastal Scotland

The lost city of Pripyat and Chernobyl, Ukraine

BY THE WAY…

I also do e-commerce and product photography for brands and what-not.

I know, I know. You’re looking for a wedding photographer, not a commercial photographer. Well, it turns out I am both of those things.
