I've got too many memorable ones to name just one! Whether it was Gosfield Hall when my bride got her heels stuck in the outdoor chessboard, or the Tipi wedding I captured with the most beautiful sunset and golden hour shots, or the super intimate COVID wedding of 20 guests in a venue with capacity for 800+, they're all super special and I love capturing the memories my couples are creating on their wedding days.
Chilled, modern, superb, fun and special
I am most proud of the images I create each and every day, showing you the best parts of your amazing day in exacting detail and with a 'Wow' element
Don't wait to book! Your key suppliers including me will be booked up to 2 years in advance so don't hesitate to get your date secured! Also, eat on the morning of your wedding, I will absolutely take that picture of you passed out on the floor so if you want to avoid that - eat!
I receive your enquiry and we arrange a meeting in person or over Zoom whenever we're both available to discuss your big day in more detail. When you're happy I'm the right photographer for you and you've selected which collection you wish to book, you pay a 20% retainer and that's it! You've just commissioned me to capture your beautiful wedding - how simple is that?!
A first look is beautiful and a moment you can never re-create again - must have!
