Looking for a wedding or engagement photographer who captures genuine, relaxed moments? You might’ve just found the right person.
I specialise in photographing your big day in the most natural, laid-back way possible. No awkward posing, no endless photo sessions pulling you away from your guests—just real moments, real laughter, and memories you’ll treasure forever.
This day is about you, your partner, and the people you love. The last thing you need is a pushy photographer running the show. I focus on those candid, in-between moments that truly tell the story of your celebration—while still making sure we get all the must-have family shots (yes, we’ll keep the grandparents happy!).
If you're looking for a wedding photographer who:
✔ Has a relaxed, friendly approach
✔ Makes you feel comfortable and at ease
✔ Blends candid, un-posed moments with the key posed shots
✔ Feels more like a friend than a vendor
Then let’s chat!
Get in touch today and let’s start planning how to capture your day, your way.

Relaxed | Natural | Emotive
I totally get it—not everyone loves being in front of the camera. Honestly, I’d much rather be behind it myself! That’s exactly why my top priority on your wedding day is making sure you feel completely relaxed and at ease. One of the best compliments I often hear is that couples hardly noticed I was there—which is exactly how I like it.
I’ll gently guide you with natural, easygoing prompts, always making the most of beautiful, soft light to give your photos that warm, timeless glow. Throughout the day, we’ll keep things calm and unforced—whether we're sneaking away for a few quiet portraits or capturing candid moments as they happen.
You don’t need to “perform” for the camera. Just be yourselves. Laugh, cry, hug your people—and I’ll be there to document it all, in the most natural and unobtrusive way possible. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy every moment of your wedding day, while I capture the magic of it all. And trust me—you’re going to love the results.
