One of my most memorable weddings was Nicola and Alan’s, who had been together for 33 years before finally tying the knot. Their story reminded me that love knows no age or timeline. It was incredibly beautiful and inspiring to witness their joy and commitment, proving that it’s never too late to celebrate love.

I’m most proud of taking the leap to start a business doing what I love, capturing love stories through photography. Turning my passion into a career and being able to preserve couples’ most meaningful moments is incredibly rewarding
My number one wedding planning tip is to focus on what truly matters to you as a couple. Don’t get caught up in trends or pleasing everyone else, plan a day that reflects your love and personalities, so it feels authentic and joyful.
My process with couples begins with making a genuine connection—usually through a face-to-face meeting or video call. We discuss your vision, style preferences, and ideas in detail to ensure I understand exactly what you want. Together, we create mood boards that capture the mood and aesthetic you’re aiming for. A few weeks before the wedding, I reconnect to go over final details, timelines, and any special moments you want me to focus on. This ongoing communication ensures your photography experience is seamless, personal, and perfectly tailored to your day
The number one photo every couple should have is a genuine, joyful moment, ideally a candid shot of you laughing together. Those unposed, natural expressions capture the true spirit of your day and the real connection between you
I always say, “A wet knot is harder to untie,” and that’s how I look at rainy wedding days, it’s a sign of lasting love! My biggest tip? Embrace the rain. It creates magical, moody photos and unforgettable memories. Plus, a few well-placed umbrellas and a cozy attitude can turn rain into pure romance.
I was always that friend who took the photos but was never in them myself. I loved capturing moments everywhere I went. After my own wedding, I realised I could combine my love for love and photography to tell beautiful stories. That’s when I knew this was my calling.
