My first wedding of the year, and what a beautiful one to begin with!

After the ceremony, we took a little time to wander through the streets around St Nick’s Market in Bristol for portraits. With the lushest soft sunshine and glow appearing just when we needed it, it felt pretty perfect.

These two were such joy to photograph! Relaxed, fun, and completely wrapped up in their own little moments.

One of the messages I woke up to this morning said,
“Thank you, you made it so chill.”

And honestly, that means the most to me! … because creating that kind of experience is important. Beautiful photographs matter, of course, but so does how it all feels while they are being taken! 🤍

Newborn sessions 🤍

I’ve had quite a few enquiries lately - thank you!
My newborn sessions are relaxed, natural and baby-led, with plenty of time to work around feeding, cuddles and whatever your little one needs on the day.

My advice is always to book in around your due date, and then we can adjust things nearer the time.

If you have any questions at all about newborn sessions, just send me a message. I’m always happy to chat.

I’m so excited to announce, I’ll be joined by one of my lovely Real Brides, Bethan, this Sunday at Matara 🤍

Bethan will be there with me to chat to you about her wedding day and share her experience of being photographed, giving you a real insight into what it’s like to work together and how I photograph my couples throughout their day.

It’s a wonderful chance to ask questions and hear honest feedback from someone who’s been there herself.

Really pleased to have her by my side and we can’t wait to meet you all

Some beautiful moments captured at Matara Centre - such an incredibly beautiful setting, full of character and wonderful light.

I always love photographing weddings here; the spaces feel calm and considered, and the gardens create the most natural backdrop for relaxed, light-filled portraits.

I’ll be at Matara this weekend for their wedding showcase event and would love to meet any couples who are currently planning their day there - do come and say hello!

I’m currently booking a limited number of weddings for this year and beyond 🤍

Most of the couples I work with tell me they’re not used to being in front of the camera & that’s absolutely fine. I mean who really is?

My role as your photographer on your wedding day is to guide you gently when needed, step back when it matters, and make sure the photography never feels intrusive or rushed!

I’m currently booking a limited number of weddings for next year, with complimentary studio consultations available for couples who’d like to talk things through with me in person & enjoy a good chat in a chilled space with great coffee.

One of the things my couples often tell me after their wedding day is how relaxed the photography felt for them - which is exactly how it should be!

My approach is very calm and natural, with only gentle guidance where needed, so couples can enjoy their day (rather than feel constantly photographed or under pressure!)

I’m now booking a limited number of weddings for next year and offer complimentary studio consultations for couples who’d like to meet in person
