All weddings are memorable. Honestly, they all have their moments. Howeever, one that sticks out was a bride called Sarah, and her boyfriend Adam.
Sarah reached out to me about photographing her wedding, which was only a month away. She had told me that her and Adam wernt even engaged yet - but her dad had fallen ill and she wanted her to walk her down the aisle.
The wedding was very intimate, but FULL of joy. We all sat down to have tea and cakes, and in a circle we listened to the speechs. Afterwards, other guests said lovelty words too, and they all played garden games.
It was lovely!
Light, relaxed, pretty, airy & romantic
Im proud of being asked to be the person to capture one of the most important days of couples lives.
It really does mean a lot to me, the trust they put into me.
I would say budget for the important things, and really take into consideration things that aren't AS important. For example, if a cake is really important to you but is more then you expected, I'd ditch things like favours to out more money towards the cake!
I always love persianlised things, such as veils with initials on. I just think its super lovely!
Once I get your enquiry, I'll reply to any questions you may have - as well as sending over some galleries & pricing (though its all on my website).
We can always arrange a call if you'd like to chat on the phone to go over your questions too.
If you're happy & want to go ahead - I'll send over the booking form and details to secure your date.
Dates are secured with a £300 booking fee, the remaining payment is due 1 month before the wedding.
It all depends on the couples ideal style to be honest! But id say to just make sure you factor in at least 10 mins to have together to get natural & candid photos.

To go with the flow and have fun. We can’t predict the weather but we can have fun with it! Rain or sun :)
I started taking photos as a hobby about 15 years ago, then someone asked me to photograph their sisters wedding!
It was literally the start of my wedding photography career, and I'm so glad i took that leap and did it!
Its been the best!
