Award-winning Kent Wedding Photographer

authentic, unscripted moments

Your wedding photography is more than just an expense—it’s an investment in preserving the most important moments of your life. Long after the flowers have wilted and the dress has been packed away, your photographs will remain as a timeless reminder of your love story.

I take on only 25-30 weddings per year to ensure every couple receives my full attention, creativity, and care. From the initial consultation to the final delivery, I invest time and effort into crafting images that truly capture the essence of your story.

Let's get to know one another

Its your Story

Its not a shoot

I love to travel! People have asked me before how far is too far? Can we take you with us? Well you can! Whether you’re celebrating with family at a destination wedding or slipping away for an intimate elopement, I can help capture moments you’ll never forget.

Destination & Elopements

No need to wait for weeks or rely on a blurry phone snap from a relative! Within 48 hours of your wedding, I’ll send you a selection of my favourite moments from your day. That way, you can soak up the highlights, share the love with family and friends, and post your first glimpses of the big day.

Questions? I got you!

Got questions? I’ve put together a helpful FAQ section to cover common topics about my approach, booking process, and what to expect. If you don’t see your question there, feel free to reach out!

I’ve photographed weddings across the UK and abroad. Whether it’s an intimate elopement or a grand celebration, I’m ready to go wherever your love story takes you. For destination weddings, reach out to discuss tailored travel packages.

Answer

Yes! I take multiple backups of your wedding photos. My cameras record to dual memory cards, and I create additional backups immediately after the event. By the end of the night, there are at least four secure copies of your images.

Answer

Rain or shine, your wedding story will be captured beautifully. I’ve photographed in all kinds of weather and know how to adapt creatively—whether embracing the elements for dramatic portraits or finding indoor locations for stunning shots.

Answer

You’re not alone! Most couples feel a bit awkward. My approach is natural and relaxed, focusing on real interactions. A pre-wedding or engagement shoot helps build confidence and lets you get comfortable in front of the camera before your big day.

Answer

Yes, as a team - we are fully insured, and happy to provide certificates upon request. While it would take heaven & earth for me to miss your wedding, I’m fortunate to have a network of highly skilled photographers who would step in seamlessly, ensuring your day is captured beautifully, no matter what.

Answer

Amazing! Contact me via the contact form. After we confirm the details, I’ll send over an online booking form and booking fee details. Once completed, your date is secured, and the final payment is due 4-5 weeks after your wedding, when your fully edited gallery is ready.


Answer

I focus on capturing genuine emotions, joyful interactions, and beautiful unscripted moments. My style blends natural, documentary photography with creative touches, using light and composition to enhance every shot. While we'll take essential family portraits, the real magic lies in the candid moments—the laughter, glances, and celebration that tell your love story authentically.

How would you describe your style?

I’ve photographed weddings across the UK and abroad. Whether it’s an intimate elopement or a grand celebration, I’m ready to go wherever your love story takes you. For destination weddings, reach out to discuss tailored travel packages.

Do you travel?

Yes! I offer high-quality, handmade albums designed to last. Each album is customisable, and I’ll guide you through the design process to create something personal. Get in touch to explore options or see samples.

Do you offer wedding albums?

I typically work solo for about 80% of weddings, capturing every moment. However, for larger weddings or multiple locations, I can bring in a trusted second photographer. Let’s chat to determine what works best for your day.

Do we need a second photographer?

Yes! I take multiple backups of your wedding photos. My cameras record to dual memory cards, and I create additional backups immediately after the event. By the end of the night, there are at least four secure copies of your images.

Do you back up your images?

Rain or shine, your wedding story will be captured beautifully. I’ve photographed in all kinds of weather and know how to adapt creatively—whether embracing the elements for dramatic portraits or finding indoor locations for stunning shots.

What happens if the weather isn’t great?

You’re not alone! Most couples feel a bit awkward. My approach is natural and relaxed, focusing on real interactions. A pre-wedding or engagement shoot helps build confidence and lets you get comfortable in front of the camera before your big day.

We’re not confident in front of the camera—can you help?

Amazing! Get in touch using the contact form above. Then after we confirm the details, I’ll send over an online booking form and booking fee details. Once completed, your date is secured, and the final payment is due 4-5 weeks after your wedding, when your fully edited gallery is ready.

We’re ready to book! What’s next?

Yes, we are fully insured, and happy to provide certificates upon request. While it would take heaven & earth for me to miss your wedding, I’m fortunate to have a network of highly skilled photographers who would step in seamlessly, ensuring your day is captured beautifully, no matter what.

Are you insured? What happens if you can't make it?

Absolutely, I welcome people coming to meet here in Kent, but I know video meetings can be a bit easier over distances. We’ll also have check-ins, calls and texts as we prepare in the build up to the wedding. I don’t want to be a stranger on the day but a trusted friend with a camera. 

Can we meet before the day?
