I'm an editorial wedding and newborn photographer within the UK & Northeast area, passionate about telling stories through honest, timeless imagery. My approach to photography is relaxed and natural, with just enough guidance to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera while allowing your day to unfold exactly as it should.
The best photographs come from real moments - not forced poses and I will forever stand my ground on that. I give my couples the freedom to enjoy their wedding day their way, following their lead with little timeline guidance and no regimented routine.
You will usually find me bleeding into the day with a coffee (or a full-fat Coke) in hand, chatting with guests and creating a calm atmosphere. It can feel extremely daunting to be photographed, even more reason for me to try and make the experience feel easy, fun and comfortable.
My love for photography grew stronger when I became a parent. It allows me to preserve those memories that pass by so quickly and turn them into treasure.
Building connections with my clients means everything to me; many start as couples and families in front of my camera and leave as friends. The trust people give me to capture such meaningful life memories is something I will be forever grateful for.
My story - I live in a little town in the Northeast with my Husband, two girls, Felicity & Harriet and our beautiful cockapoo Rosie. We are all great lovers of country music; it holds so many memories for us. We all love to be by the sea or chasing a sunset. Our family is what inspired me to do what I love, and they will always be my biggest supporters.
