It’s Me, Hi, I’m Your Photographer

You’re not planning a performance. You’re planning a wedding that actually feels like you.

You want relaxed, natural photos that capture real emotion, the laughter, the tears, the tequila toasts and you want someone calm, kind and quietly all-in to document it all and that’s exactly where I come in.

It’s me, hi. I’m the photographer, it’s me.
(Swifties, you’re very welcome.)

Based in the UK, I photograph weddings with emotional depth, candid honesty, and a whole lot of heart.

I’m here for the criers, the laughers, and the “we’re a bit awkward but very in love” couples who just want to feel seen. The ones who are skipping traditions, choosing meaning over perfection, and planning their day their way.

With me, you’ll get calm guidance, gentle presence, and a friend behind the lens who’s cheering you on from day one.

Obsessed with Ice Cream, Country Music and People In Love.

What You Can Expect When We Work Together

A relaxed, emotion-led experience

A values-led approach (vegan, inclusive, eco-conscious)

Candid, storytelling-style photography (no stiff poses here)

Sneak peeks within 24–48 hours, because waiting is the worst

A down-to-earth vibe that keeps you calm, present, and laughing

FUN FACTS, BECAUSE WHY NOT:

🐕 I’ll 100% ask to pet your dog
✈️ I once worked on a feature film with Tom Hardy
🌍 I’ve visited 6 continents and 36 countries (and counting)
💎 I love crystals, yoga, and mindfulness
💛 I’m a proud Hufflepuff
🎶 Taylor Swift lyrics may be hidden across this website, easter egg vibes only (iykyk)

So, Who Am I When I’m Not Holding
a Camera?

I live in South Wales with my partner/best friend, Matt, and two rescued hamsters, Oatcake and Mocha (he won’t let me get a dog… yet).

Originally from North Staffordshire, I’m a true countryside soul with a soft spot for Highland cows, country music, and ice cream. I became vegan in 2020, believe in treading gently on the planet, and will absolutely approve if your dog is at your wedding.

Before photography, I worked in wedding venue marketing, then flew around the world as international cabin crew, 36 countries and counting (Japan has my heart).

I still love solo adventures, Taylor Swift lyrics, and creating space for people to be fully themselves.

Enough About Me, Let's talk about you

You’re here because you want photos that feel like your favourite Sunday morning.

You want to feel comfortable, seen, and completely yourself.

You want a photographer who’ll laugh with your guests, cry at your speeches, and capture your day honestly, not like it’s a styled shoot.

That’s exactly what I’m here for.
