I’ve been fascinated by photography for as long as I can remember. As a child, I would trail behind my great-grandad, a man I rarely saw without a camera in his hand. He was born in the 1920s, and I had the absolute privilege of seeing photographs from his childhood and beyond… a whole lifetime captured. There was something magical about how eager he was to freeze time, to preserve every moment for future generations.
Watching him, I fell in love with the idea that a camera isn’t just a device, it’s a storyteller, a memory-keeper, a little time machine. So I picked one up too. At every family occasion, every birthday, every simple gathering, I became the one making sure those authentic moments were never forgotten. Looking back, that was where my passion for storytelling truly began.
How I Fell in Love With Weddings
My journey into wedding photography started unexpectedly. I was studying photography at college when our next-door neighbour, someone we love so much we think of them as an aunt or uncle, mentioned that a close friend of theirs was getting married. It was a lesbian wedding, and heartbreakingly, they had been let down multiple times by photographers who cancelled on them.
I was eighteen, but I felt this huge pull in my chest. Their love deserved to be documented. Their wedding deserved to be celebrated just as joyfully as anyone else’s. I’ve always believed wholeheartedly that love is love, in every beautiful form it comes in.
So I said yes. And oh my goodness… it was the best day ever.
The laughter. The tears. The way they looked at each other, all-consuming, completely lost in one another. I was hooked instantly. When I looked through the images afterward and realised I had preserved moments they would cherish forever, something clicked.
This was special.
This was what I wanted to do.
From that day on, I was obsessed, in the most wonderful way.
Why I Love Every Part of a Wedding Day
The truth is, I love photographing every part of a wedding day, because each part carries its own energy, emotion, and story.
The morning: the buzzing excitement, the nerves, the laughter… that beautiful mix of chaos and anticipation.
The ceremony: that breath-holding moment when two people promise forever.
The portraits: the very first quiet moment where the couple can finally look at each other and say, “Hello… we’re married.”
The drinks reception: relaxed, informal, full of hugs and joy and genuine interactions.
The candid moments: the bits no one sees coming, the tear wiped away, the belly laugh, the quick squeeze of a hand.
The speeches: I’ll admit it… you’ll often find me laughing and crying right along with everyone else.
I feel completely encapsulated by the love and energy surrounding a wedding. It’s impossible not to be swept up in it.
The People and Their Stories
One of my favourite parts of being a wedding photographer is getting to know my couples. On our very first Zoom call, I want to hear everything, how you met, how the proposal happened, the tiny details that make your story yours.
These things matter. They help me tailor the experience, understand your dynamic, and anticipate the moments that will mean the most to you.
Your story shapes how I photograph your day. And it’s an honour every single time.
The Artistry, Storytelling in Real Time
I’m a fully documentary photographer with a hint of editorial and timeless style. My philosophy is simple:
I capture the day exactly as it unfolds.
You’ve spent years dreaming, designing, and building this celebration, I’m not here to disrupt that. I’m here to preserve it.
I want you to look through your images and feel instantly transported back. I want you to say:
“I didn’t even know that was happening!”
“I can’t believe she captured that!”
Those real moments, the ones that show true emotion, those are my favourites.
The Impact, Why This Will Always Mean the World to Me
Every time a couple chooses me to photograph their wedding, I feel genuinely honoured. These images aren’t just for today, they’re for your future children, your grandchildren, your great-grandchildren.
When I hold the photographs my great-grandad left behind, I think about the photographer who captured them. Their work became part of my family’s history. Their legacy lives on through those images.
And that’s what I hope for my work too, that one day, someone will hold your wedding photographs in their hands and feel the beginning of your journey together. How lucky is that?
