about me
My
Story
I started my photography journey in Melbourne, Australia, in 2018, inspired by the city's stunning skyline - one of my favourite places in the world. When I moved back to the UK and settled in the North East, my focus naturally shifted to landscape and adventure photography. The mountains became my escape from everyday life, and it’s there that I discovered my passion for telling stories through my camera.
What started as a hobby soon turned into wedding and couples photography - completely by accident! Friends asked me to capture their special moments, and I haven’t looked back since.
Outside of photography, I’m a proud dog dad to Lola, a lively cocker spaniel (who has more Instagram followers than I do!). I love travelling - but not the typical beach resort kind. Give me a backpack, a few clothes, and days filled with hiking and road-tripping through deserts or mountains, and I'm in my element. I’m also getting married in June 2025, so I know exactly what you’re going through - the excitement, the planning stress, and everything in between!
Choosing your photographer
How to know if you've found the one...
Picking the right wedding photographer feels like a big decision, and I get it. You might be wondering:
-
Will our photos truly capture the essence of our day?
-
Will we look good in them?
-
Will the photographer make us and our guests feel comfortable?
-
Will the photos bring back how we felt on the day?
It all comes down to one thing: Can I trust this person?
Beyond technical skill, a photographer should understand you - your personalities, your style, and what’s important to you. You want someone who blends into the day seamlessly, putting you at ease while capturing the big, emotional moments and the quiet, in-between ones too.
That’s why choosing the right person is about more than just liking their photos. It’s about trust. You should feel confident that your photographer understands your vision and will capture it in a way that feels natural and meaningful.

My Style, Your Vision
My Style
I’m a storyteller at heart. My approach is all about capturing real, candid moments as they happen naturally. I create a relaxed atmosphere, blending into the background so you can enjoy your day without feeling like you’re constantly posing.
Of course, some moments call for a little direction, and when they do, I make it easy, fun, and never awkward. Whether it’s guiding you into a flattering pose or catching spontaneous moments of joy, my goal is to make sure you feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera.
Your vision, YOUR DAY!
Your wedding day is all about you, and I’ll adapt to your needs to capture the photos you want. I work closely with couples beforehand to understand what matters most, so you can enjoy your day without worrying about the details.
Great wedding photography should feel effortless. My aim is to document your day authentically, with as little intrusion as possible - so you can focus on making memories, not posing for them.
All I ask in return (besides payment!) is as much detail as possible beforehand so I can plan for everything and make sure the day runs smoothly.
