Most couples discover me on Bridebook and then visit my website to explore my work and pricing. If you’re ready to book, fantastic! If you’d like to chat first, we can arrange a relaxed video call one evening to review questions. When you decide I’m the one to capture your day, securing your date is simple—just a quick booking form, a 25% deposit, and a contract to make it official. Then, you’ve got me as your wedding photographer, and we can start planning all the magic!

A little rain? No problem! Grab a gorgeous brolly, slip into some stylish wellies, and maybe drape a cosy shawl over your shoulders—because with the right touch of adventure (and the proper footwear), nothing can stop you from embracing every magical moment!
I've always had a camera in my hand. I started shooting on a 35mm film camera, capturing street photography with a candid, documentary vibe. That’s probably why I love weddings so much—telling stories through a lens feels natural. Oh, and whatever you do, don’t play Mr. Brightside too early… unless you want to see my dance moves way ahead of schedule. Seriously, don’t.
