About Me

I believe the most beautiful wedding photographs come from genuine moments – the spontaneous laugh between newlyweds, proud tears from parents, or friends embracing on the dance floor. As your photographer, I'm committed to capturing these fleeting instances while ensuring you feel completely at ease throughout your celebration.

My journey into wedding photography began from a love of documenting real human connections. What started as capturing candid moments at friends' weddings evolved into a passion for preserving authentic celebrations for couples across the UK. Today, I bring that same genuine enthusiasm to every wedding, along with years of professional expertise.

Couples often tell me they appreciate my calm, unobtrusive presence on their wedding day. I understand that many people feel nervous about being photographed, which is why I take a relaxed, natural approach. You won't find me directing awkward poses or interrupting precious moments. Instead, I work quietly in the background, ensuring you can fully immerse yourself in your celebration while I create a beautiful visual narrative of your day.

Whether you're planning an elegant country house wedding or an intimate garden ceremony, my documentary style adapts to your unique celebration. I pride myself on being organised and professional while maintaining a warm, friendly demeanour that puts couples and their guests at ease.

When I'm not photographing weddings, you'll find me experimenting with photography in Manchester's streets. I'm based in Manchester but happily travel throughout the UK to document celebrations of all kinds.

I'd love to learn about your wedding plans over a coffee or virtual chat. Together, we can discuss how to create a natural, authentic record of your special day.
