No

Definitely! I love variety and am always very happy to explore new venues in the UK or beyond. Travel within London and the Southeast of the UK is included in my packages.

My style of photography is natural, warm, honest and creative. It's all about telling the story of your wedding day, including all the big and little moments, plus the beautiful details you have chosen so carefully. I take a documentary approach for much of the day, observing and capturing all that’s going on to create a unique visual story that reflects the mood and ambience of your day. Most of my clients also want a few family photos, and I’ll make sure we get these done efficiently. We'll definitely want to allow a bit of time to take those gorgeous couple photos of the two of you. I will have scouted out the best spots for these already, so we can just go for a walk and enjoy creating some beautiful art. During this time I’ll give you a little direction, but it’s all very relaxed and usually fun.

I use professional and Sony equipment and have 3 camera bodies and wide selection of lenses to cover many different focal length and angles. They also act as a backup in case anything goes wrong on the day. I also carry portable lighting equipment.

I love nature, quirky locations, and interesting light, and let myself be inspired by my surroundings to compose and light photos creatively. I'm always keen to head off the beaten track and find backdrops for your photos that are a bit different from everyone else's. Location is really important to me, and I spend a considerable time before each wedding visiting locations and planning your photo shoot.

Yes, all my packages include an online gallery which stays life for 12 months after your wedding - great for sharing photos with friends and family.

You'll receive a sneak peek of up to 15 photos within 48 hours of your wedding. The rest of your photos will be delivered within 6 weeks of your wedding date.

I don't limit the number of photos you get, and you will receive the majority of photos taken on the day. I remove obviously "bad" photos, for example where people have their eyes closed or photos that are blatantly unflattering. This will ensure you have a beautiful gallery of photographs.

I work on my own, unless you book a package with a second photographer.

I am part of a big network of wedding photographers, and if the worst should happen, should be able to find a replacement. It would be highly unlikely that you would be left without a photographer on the day. I fully appreciate how important your wedding day is and I would only ever pull out of a wedding if it was a real emergency.

My contract includes a clause that I am able to use some of your photos in my own advertising and portfolio. However, this is negotiable if you would prefer your photos not to be shared.

Sure, we can discuss this.

I'm a full time wedding photographer and will have lots of time for you. You are always welcome to get in touch with any wedding questions, photography related or not. For me preparation is everything, and I prepare meticulously for every wedding I shoot. I visit your venue and locations beforehand and work with your wedding coordinator on the day to make sure I know exactly what’s happening when. I’ll have made plans for where we’ll take your bridal photos and have a plan B (and C!) up my sleeve if it rains or something else unexpected happens. Crucially, it's your day, and I want to know what's most important to you, so I can capture it in a way that's personal and meaningful to you. I really want you to enjoy your wedding day, including having your photos taken, and communication is hugely important to me. We’ll go through all the details before your wedding day, make sure all the timings work, and that you are happy with everything we are doing.
