Storytelling through authentic moments… Hello!

I'm a West Cumbria based photographer specialising in weddings, family portraits, and pet photography. With over 10 years of experience and a portfolio boasting over 300 weddings, I've had the privilege of capturing countless unique stories and precious moments. My passion for photography stems from a deep appreciation for the power of a single image to evoke emotion and transport us back to a spe

cific time and place. I believe that photographs are more than just pictures; they are tangible memories, heirlooms that connect us to our past and future. Whether it's the joy of a newlywed couple, the playful energy of a family, or the unconditional love in a pet's eyes, I strive to capture the genuine essence of each subject. I'm dedicated to creating images that are not only beautiful but also authentic and meaningful. I love getting to know my clients and understanding their vision, ensuring that every photograph reflects their unique personality and story. Based in the beautiful surroundings of West Cumbria, I'm fortunate to be surrounded by stunning landscapes that provide the perfect backdrop for my work. I'm always excited to meet new people and help them preserve their most cherished memories. If you're looking for a photographer who is passionate about capturing those special moments that will last a lifetime, I'd love to hear from you!

A special graduation shoot for Cameron and his father, captured at Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa, English Lake District 🎓✨

After graduating from university in Canada, Cameron returned home to Cumbria and wanted to recreate the beautiful setting of his university for his graduation photos.

We headed to Armathwaite at dusk to capture these special moments and the soft evening light made it even more special 🤍

Graduations, christenings, proms or any special occasion, we’d love to help you capture memories that last a lifetime.

If you have a special event coming up that you’d like photographed, get in touch! 📸

Wedding nerves? Totally normal!✨

Everyone gets them & they’re often a sign of just how much the day means to you as a couple!💒

A calming drink, a few deep breaths, a chat with our team & a moment to take it all in before the magic begins, we’re here to help every step of the way…

From those first nervous moments to “I do”, we’ve got you!🤍
