On your wedding day

I want you to be able to look back at your photos and enjoy remembering the moments as they took place. To achieve this I am intentionally discreet and unobtrusive.

For the majority of the day, I will be amongst the fun, laughs, and hugs- capturing the emotions and moments. Most couples choose to add in some family/friend ‘line-up’ photos which I am more than happy to arrange.

I always like to have a bit of time with the bride & groom to capture some creative, but natural photos away from everyone. At this point I will be directive in order to place you in the best light (and help you to know what to do with your hands if you're looking a little unsure).


Editing & Delivery

You will receive your edited photos via an online gallery for you to download in full resolution. My style of editing keeps the colours and tones true to provide you with timeless images that can be shared with friends and family. Printing your photos is definitely recommended! You can expect your photos within 3 week of your wedding day.


Booking

I’d love to chat through your wedding plans so far and your vision for the photos. A call enables you to hear a bit more about how I work, an gives you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

To enquire about your date and to discuss your plans, please contact me via my contact page.

To secure your date, I ask for a £500 deposit and my contract to be signed.
