Capturing the Real Moments of Your Wedding Day

In my view, the best moments of a wedding aren’t staged; they’re lived. Think of that electric energy when confetti fills the air—everyone’s laughing, celebrating together, and in that moment, the joy is palpable. Or the way each couple looks at each other as they come together, sharing a look filled with excitement, love, and anticipation. These are the moments that matter, the ones I live to capture.

I believe the most powerful images are those that let you feel your wedding day all over again. My aim is to photograph the genuine, unexpected moments of real emotion so that every time you look back, you’re transported right back to that feeling.

As a photojournalist, I’ve travelled the world working with organisations like UNICEF and Comic Relief, photographing everyone from global celebrities to remote communities. This experience has taught me how to tell the true story of a moment, while adapting quickly and professionally under any circumstance. You’ll have someone at your side who can handle any situation, while capturing the real essence of your day.

Building a relationship with my couples is so important to me. When we take the time to connect before the big day—whether it’s in person or over Zoom—it means you’ll feel at ease, able to be yourselves. And that comfort shines through in the photos. Trust me, just knowing each other a little makes a huge difference.

For any family members who want reassurance, yes, I have photographed several Royal events at the Palace! Beyond a bit of a humble brag, it’s my way of saying you’ll have a professional in your corner who’s prepared for anything, with a history of handling events of all kinds with calm and grace.

While I focus on capturing authentic moments, I know that a few timeless, beautifully composed portraits are also important. With a bit of planning, we’ll make sure these “official” photos are taken smoothly and naturally, so you’re free to spend more time with your guests.

One of my own most treasured memories is from my own wedding: sitting down to eat, looking around, and seeing a sea of friends and family. One of my favourite photos is a simple print of my partner and I laughing together during the speeches. It’s framed in our home, and every time I see it, it lifts my spirits.

My hope is to create that same gift for you—an image that captures a true moment and brings you joy every time you see it.

Wedding Photography Packages Start at £1500

My approach to wedding photography combines thoughtful planning with candid, professional storytelling, ensuring your day is captured in a way that feels genuine and effortless. Here’s what’s included in each package:

Pre-Wedding Consultation & Portrait Shoot

We’ll meet at your venue for a relaxed portrait session, helping us get to know each other so you feel completely comfortable on your wedding day.

Up to 8 Hours of Wedding Photography

From the quiet anticipation of getting ready to the joy of the main celebrations, I’ll be there to capture it all. If your celebration continues longer, additional hours are available.

500 Retouched Photos

You’ll receive a beautiful collection of professionally edited photos, capturing the moments you’ll want to revisit time and time again.

Online Gallery + Print Release

Your photos will be available in a secure online gallery, making it easy to view, share, and print your favorite images with loved ones.

10 Social Media Highlights

Within days of your wedding, I’ll send over 10 highlight images, ready to share with friends and family on social media.

Additional Extras and Add-Ons Available

Influencer Add-On

A popular option for couples wanting to share the joy in real-time! During the reception (typically while you’re dining), I can prepare a selection of photos and short video clips, perfect for reels, so you can start posting high-quality images and videos on the day itself.

Custom Albums

I’m a bit old school—I love the experience of picking up a beautifully crafted album, flipping through the pages, and reliving each moment. Albums start at £350 for a 60-page custom design, with options to add additional pages and upgrade the cover. It’s the perfect way to preserve your day and share it with family for years to come.

Second Shooter

While I typically work solo, there are times when having a second photographer makes all the difference, especially for capturing every angle and special moment. We can discuss whether this option would be a good fit during our initial discovery call.
