About

Based in picturesque Plymouth, Devon, I am a documentary photographer dedicated to preserving the authenticity of your special day. From joyous laughter to heartfelt tears and those first looks that speak volumes, I am committed to capturing the unique essence of your wedding day.

Embracing the beauty of Devon & Cornwall, I travel to encapsulate stunning days in diverse forms. Your wedding is as unique as you are, and I thrive on immortalisng it in your own special way. Beyond the Southwest, I’m ready to journey across the UK to be part of your celebration too.

Whether you’re envisioning a full-day extravaganza or a micro wedding with a shorter timeframe, I offer flexible coverage to suit all budgets. My most sought-after package encompasses the entire journey, from the preparation moments to the dance floor magic. Your memories are not just photos; they’re stories frozen in time. You’ll receive an online gallery to share, a USB packed with cherished moments, and a beautifully crafted wedding album.

But I’m not just a photographer—I’m a friendly face in the crowd, lending a helping hand with pocket squares and buttonholes.

Beyond the gorgeous world of weddings, I invite you into my dedicated studio nestled in Plymouth. Here, the art of storytelling extends beyond vows and rings. Embracing the essence of family, I specialise in capturing the warmth and joy of those precious moments.From adorable newborns to little sitters exploring the world, and the delightful chaos of cake smash & splash sessions celebrating that magical first year, I offer a range of family-focused services. Your family's journey is a tale worth telling, and my lens is poised to freeze those fleeting moments in time.

So, whether you're stepping into the magic of matrimony or cherishing the early chapters of family life, let's create a visual narrative that lasts a lifetime. Your story, beautifully captured, awaits within the walls of my Plymouth studio.
