"Everyone is an artist" said Joseph Beuys. Your wedding day is a chance to put that into practice and curate a day that is utterly unique to you. My favourite part of planning is seeing your references and working together on moodboards, to plan a wedding album that feels just like you. Then, I'll ask you what part of the day you're most excited for, what made you choose that song or perhaps even the most romantic painting you've ever seen. Those tiny details help me to train my eye to yours, and see the day as you do.
Whilst it helps to plan, and getting those family shots is important, no one wants to spend too much time away from the action. I keep posed portraits to a minimum and the real fun comes when you're not expecting it, when you and your guests are relaxed, laughing and feeling themselves.
I've been taking photos for as long as I can remember, which has given me a strong eye for lighting, detail and composition. I'm always looking for the best possible image, applying the principles of photography without even thinking about it. I think of my style as fun, fresh and free, without stiff posing or intense filters.

Fresh, modern, spontaneous, relaxed, personal.

Prepare a schedule with me in advance so you don't need to think about photography for most of the day

We'll have a video call to discuss your plans, then I'll go away and produce an offer and draft schedule. Then we'll edit the schedule together until all plans are confirmed. I also love to receive moodboards from couples so I can think creatively.

I have been taking photos, mostly portraits for 15 years. I have a BA in fine art photography from the Arts University Bournemouth.
