xoxo,
I am a lover of light and beauty. Inspired by the natural world and happiest at the heart of a great party. I am drawn to people, to emotions and relationships.
I began my career at the BBC working for 12 years in the Natural History Unit producing wildlife documentaries - this time taught me all about light, composition, storytelling and style. But when it came to embarking on my own path I found the stories I was most drawn to were other people's yet I still yearned for the beauty and style of film making. It was a natural transition to weddings, a combination of both storytelling and getting to the heart of people, combined with the opportunity to capture beauty and art in my own style.

"I spent 12 years producing some of the most watched wildlife documentaries of all time"
For the last few years I have been lucky enough to document some of the most important moments in my clients lives. I grew up in the middle of the countryside, in a house full of people and parties, I spent my days riding horses and collecting apples from the orchard and immersed in books where I let my imagination run wild. All of these things have helped shaped who I am today, a lover of nature, of people and gatherings, of love and laughter.
WHO AM I
I'm a Champagne sipping, candles flickering, dash to the dance floor, house full of people person.
loves to last
A LIFETIME
02. I HIT THE GROUND RUNNING
Literally. When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me up in the saddle, pounding the pavements or on the tennis court.
03. I SWAPPED WILDLIFE FOR WEDDINGS
It's true. Today, I pour my heart and soul into creating beautiful wedding photography for couples like you. But I've learnt all about creating beautiful imagery working for the BBC as a wildlife producer for 12 years.
04. FOOD IS MY LOVE LANGUAGE
Cooking for family and friends is one of my hands-down favourite things to do (they're pretty keen on it too!).
01. I'VE NEVER MET A DOG I DON'T LIKE
My own Labrador is my constant companion so I know how important the relationship between dog and owner is, plus they always result in some of the best photos.
05. NOTHING SMELLS BETTER THAN JO MALONE
Fig and Lotus Flower, if we're getting specific. It had me at one sniff and makes a gorgeous fragrance for your wedding, too.
