My approach
It’s your day, not mine. Aside from a few quick group shots of your family, friends and a short portrait session with just the two of you, nothing will be posed or staged. You’ll forget I’m even there, allowing you and your guests to just concentrate on having the best day possible.
My goal is to capture real and unfiltered moments. The two things I love to capture are heartfelt emotions and beautiful portraits. Your wedding photos won’t just showcase how the day looked, they’ll take you back to how it felt.
The short portrait session is our opportunity to capture some beautiful, natural photos of you both. It’s also a moment where I can get creative and craft images you'll truly love. Plus, it gives you both a chance to enjoy a few quiet minutes together, away from the excitement of your family and friends.
Many of my couples feel a bit nervous about being in front of the camera – and that’s completely normal. But once you realise there’s nothing to worry about, you can actually start to enjoy the experience and that really shines through in the photos. Often, couples are genuinely surprised by how much they love their portraits, and for me, there’s no better feeling.
