Experience
My years of experience means you can focus on having the time of your life, knowing that you have hired an awesome photographer, who can expertly adapt to any eventuality.
I’ll capture the raw emotion, humour and unexpected moments, just like magic!
Creative
I’ll always go that extra mile to get that epic shot. I love being creative – it gets me into all sorts of ‘sticky’ situations – like that time I balanced on a rock, in the middle of a river, in an epic Game of Thrones location. Bang, got the shot and then fell over.
Camera and shot saved…my clothes were not so lucky!
Timeless
Your photos will be natural, bright and processed in a consistent manner. They will be timeless in both style and colour. You will look back on them, and love how they tell the story of the day.
Modern photography, for modern couples, who want photos to stand the test of time (even if the clothes don’t)
Relaxed
This isn’t about my Instagram feed, I won’t be coordinating your day in military style. I will be letting it unfold naturally, grabbing the real moments, connections, the love and happiness shared.
Your portraits will be a dander with an old friend, Prosecco in your hand, camera in mine.

01.
Before the Wedding
lets get to know each other
When you know…you know!
From that 1st call, chatting over coffee, hearing all about your plans. These are the building blocks for your wedding photography.
My booking in process is electronic, just as easy as amazon. You are firmly in my diary on completion of the booking process.
Closer to the day, we meet again. I LOVE to be organised, so I get all the juicy details of what you’ve got planned – even the secrets you keep from the guests – you want me to capture the moment when the secret is outed – right?
This planning – or pre-meet as I like to call it, ensures that I know everything about your day. I don’t want to miss a thing. I want you to relax on your day and know that I’ve it all in hand.
02.
The Wedding Day
Getting ready
The house will be buzzing with all sorts of people. Florists, make up, hair, and me!
Keeping it real – by this I mean, snacks on the table, cups of tea or Prosecco glasses visible in photos. If theres something you want me to avoid, just let me know.
Prosecco shots with bridesmaids, photos into your dress, your dads first look, all captured naturally, telling the story just as it happens.
I may turn the lights off, open the curtains and suggest a better placement for the make-up artist, but this is to ensure that the best available light is being used, which will make your photos awesome.
I’ll also carefully plan and take detail shots of your dress shoes and all your bits and prices. Got a nice tree – I’ll happily hang your dress on it for a beautiful shot.
03.
Your Wedding Ceremony
lets do this
I like to get there about 45 minutes before it all kicks off. This allows me to chat to the celebrant, capture your guests arriving and grab some detail shots. I’ll also locate your other half and get pictures of them.
This section of the day is full of emotion. Happy tears flow freely amongst the guests. Celebrants who are up for the craic also make for fantastic moments – top tip – watch out for family priests, they can deliver killer punchlines that raise the church roof.
Unplugged ceremonies also work well – the last thing you want is 100 mobile phones in the aisle, when its your moment of glory! You want me to capture you, not 100 mobile phones.
Confetti shots often happen when you come out of the church, they often happen naturally, but sometimes I give some direction. Its all about what way the wind is blowing (I’ve a whole post on how to get the best wedding photos – including tips on capturing the ultimate confetti shot)
04.
The Venue
let the party commence
Its time to let your hair down and I’ll be there to capture all the shenanigans.
Relax for a while, soak up the atmosphere, chat to your guests. This is your time to shine, talk about your dress, show off the new wedding bands.
I’ll mingle, take lots of candids. Its a great time for capturing funny moments, reactions and deep hugs. I’ll be in stealth mode, grabbing those moments that people don’t even realise are happening.
If you’ve garden games, this is a fab time to get some classic shots of kids and adults having the craic.
05.
Portraits
Relaxing time out
Sometimes couples have the portrait session on the way to the venue, stopping off at the beach or at a place that has meaning for you. These don’t take that long. However if you have a venue with incredible grounds, then I recommend to stay on site.
I promise that you will relax and even say you enjoyed them. I get that most people declare a dislike of all cameras, but I’ll show you a few on the back of my camera and you will quickly see how incredible you look. Before you know it, you will be rocking that inner supermodel
This is also a time where you get to be alone – just the two of you. (ok and me with my camera). Its usually the only time of the day where you don’t have all your guests with you. I love it, as those intimate moments occur naturally, and I get to capture it perfectly.
06.
Family Photos
the ones everyone dread
Most people have a love hate relationship with family photos – hate the time it takes, but love and want the photos!
I get it. You are having the time of your life, and suddenly theres a photographer suggesting that you stop the party for some photos.
I call them dreaded – most people do not look forward to this stage of the day. They can seem to go on for hours, but they are totally controllable.
This is the one set of photos I always plan out – indeed, I have the list ready, checked and triple checked in advance of your day. We agree who is in them, where we will take them, and the time to take them at. Then its boom, boom, boom, done – and you can all head back to the party.
07.
Large Group Shot
AKA hearding cats
Lots of people love a large group shot – one photo with all your guests. I personally really love them.
Some venues have the perfect location for them, with me taking the shot from a balcony or upstairs window.
As a heads up, they can take time – especially when key people are at the bar, checking in, or in the loo! But they can also take less than 10 minutes if we are super organised – and some venues have this down to a fine art.
If you want one, I’m happy to take it!
08.
Wedding speeches
open mic
I adore wedding speeches. They are fun filled, emotionally fuelled, stories of love and laughter.
Wedding speech photos really bring the craic of the wedding day back. When I’m editing a wedding, I often find myself laughing out loud at a facial expression that tells a story in the best way.
Do the speeches your way, there is no rule book to this. Mixing it up a bit makes for fab photo opportunities, which I will be all over. The best part about photographing the speeches is that people are so busy relaxing and enjoying themselves, they don’t see me with my camera!
Real raw emotion!
09.
Wedding Meal
Downtime
Theres not too many people who want their photo taken, whilst eating.
I take this opportunity to refuel too. Many couples offer me a meal and a place at the table, which I am really grateful for – but I much prefer eating it in the lobby alone. This allows me time to recharge batteries, back up files and prepare myself for the evening ahead.
10.
Evening Portraits
where the magic happens
I love taking 10 minutes for photos when the sun has set and the stars are in the sky.
You have fully chilled, are soaking up the fun of your wedding day and have embraced your position of being the most important couple in the room.
Just before the dancing starts, we can take some time outside, just us, no onlookers.
It’s at times like these where magic happens.
11.
Dancing Photos
Air guitars at the ready
Want photos of all the movers and shakers? You got it!
I love a dance floor. Dancing queens, Travolta, and a bit of rock the boat (well maybe less of that).
I join in the party, get stuck in the middle of the floor, moving my hips like theres no tomorrow. You and your guests are so busy on the air guitar, you don’t see me shimming up close and bang, craziness captured.
12.
Your Wedding Photos
one heck of a story
Within 48 hours of your wedding, a sneak peek will magically appear. A handful of photos to gush over until the full set arrives.
Your full gallery will arrive with a fanfare of trumpets, around 6 weeks after your big day. Gather round, pour a glass of vino, and view them together. Theres nothing beats looking over photos of THE BEST PARTY EVER!
We then work together on your wedding album, showcasing your day from beginning to end, highlighting all the juicy bits. A book all about you – whats not to LOVE.
