CAMERA SHY?
FEAR NOT,
I'VE GOT YOU!

LET'S CAPTURE YOUR STORY!

I know being in front of a camera can feel a bit unnatural—it’s not every day you’re followed around by a photographer, right? But that’s where I come in. My approach is all about keeping things chilled, fun and pressure free, so you can just enjoy your day without worrying about awkward poses or forced smiles.​

If that sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d love to hear about your plans. Get in touch here, and let me know about your day and where you're getting married to check my availability!

CAPTURING YOUR DAY, AS IT HAPPENS.

The best wedding photos are the ones you don’t see coming. It’s about capturing those honest moments that happen when you’re simply being yourselves.

 

Whether your big day is right here in the East Midlands or somewhere completely different, no two weddings are ever the same and that’s what I love about this job. Some are loud and lively, others are calm and intimate. My job is to tune in, read the room, and capture the moments that truly matter to you.

 

From emotional vows to wild dance floors, I’m there to document it all without getting in the way. Your wedding day will have its own energy, and I’m there to tell that story as it unfolds.

Capturing The Good Stuff...

I honestly love what I do, every wedding’s got its own energy, characters, and chaos, and I get a proper buzz from being part of it all. These days, I’ve slowed things down a bit. I used to shoot 70-odd weddings a year, but now I take on fewer so I can give every couple my full attention and keep the creativeness flowing.

 

When I’m at a wedding, I’m not hiding in the corner with a long lens, I’m in the mix, chatting, laughing, and blending in so everyone feels comfortable. That’s how I get the good stuff! The real smiles, the daft moments, the hugs, and the chaos that makes your day yours.

I’ve been lucky to get loads of lovely reviews from couples who say I felt more like a mate than a photographer, and that’s exactly how I want it to feel. No awkward posing or forced smiles, just genuine moments, captured as they happen.

Honestly, it never feels like work. Every day’s a Saturday when you do something you love, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
