My approach is to always document your day in a very relaxed, natural & candid way to make sure I get the best images of people being people

Natural, Documentary Wedding Photography (No Forced Posing)

My approach is documentary-led wedding photography:

Real moments as they happen
Minimal interruption to your day
Relaxed portraits that feel natural, not staged
A storytelling style that reflects how your wedding actually felt

This style is ideal for couples who want authentic wedding photography rather than overly posed or scripted images.

I want to see you having an AMAZING time, the time of your life. I want to see hugging,laughing,crying, smiling and chatting.

I want to see your guests drinking too much AND not caring about their dance moves !!. The joy, natural flow and genuine connections between people are what weddings days are all about for me.

THE EXPERIENCE

Stunning Portraits Made Easy

I absolutely love taking some time out on your day to create some special, creative portraits for you to cherish. My approach here as with everything else is to keep is simple, easy going and stress free for you. It won't to us long to create some fun, natural images. It's all about documenting that connection between you both WITHOUT the awkward posing.

Many couples choose me because they want a photographer who blends in, keeps things calm, and captures the full story of the day naturally and I’m trusted by couples who value authentic storytelling and a calm, professional presence on their wedding day.
