With 16 Years Experience

After photographing weddings for over 16 years, I've learnt that the best moments usually happen when nobody is thinking about the camera.

The nervous laughs, the dodgy dance moves, the unexpected moments and the people who make your day what it is. That's the stuff I love capturing.

I'm there to document your wedding, help things run smoothly when needed and make sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Whether you book photography, videography or both, I want you to enjoy your day rather than spend it worrying about how everything looks.

A bit about how I work…

I'm not really into turning weddings into photoshoots. I'd much rather capture the day as it happens, with all the laughs, the chaos, the happy tears and the moments you probably didn't even notice.

I'm relaxed, chatty and there when you need me, but I'm not going to spend the day dragging you away from your mates or telling you how to stand. If you want a few group photos or some help getting comfortable in front of the camera, that's absolutely fine too.

At the end of the day, it's your wedding. I want you to enjoy it, have a laugh and come away with photographs and films that actually feel like you.
