It’s becoming increasingly more popular for brid It’s becoming increasingly more popular for brides to have a second look and I’m so happy about it!

I’ll often see the Hair & Makeup artist back again in the evening, when they come to refresh makeup and change up the hair 

This was Kitty’s second look during the shoot

@rebecca.brownmakeup styled her hair into a sleek low bun and gave her more of a smokey eye 🤍💋

“I’d love a beautiful self portrait, but I als “I’d love a beautiful self portrait, but I also want the natural moments captured”

With me, you never have to choose. Couples usually want certain pictures - magazine-worthy styled portraits of themselves. A beautiful shot of you with your nana. A portrait that finally captures Groom and Best Man together, looking dapper...

We will end up with these Vogue-level styled portraits, and we can work together to style these, or you can be led my me.

We will never miss those. Exquisite, styled portraits help you to feel like your most beautiful self on your day; it’s your moment to shine. 

These images are so important in the name of future-proofing your memories. But my photography offers so much more on top.

Documentary is a big part of my photography. I love genuine and authentic storytelling; working hard to capture those singular moments which will transport you back immediately to your wedding day. 

These images can be just as beautiful as styled portraits, but they are fleeting - it’s my skill to capture that quick shared glance, that giggle as he whispers a joke in your ear...

Together, let’s capture your story.

Traditional formal wedding posing can be so restri Traditional formal wedding posing can be so restrictive. The artifice of hundreds of photos of the married couple looking uncomfortable and stilted, out of their comfort zone, doesn’t appeal. 

I direct my subjects gently, putting them at ease - it’s about doing less, not over-posing.

Warmth travels down the lens. An uncomfortable bride at odds with her photographer is obvious a mile off.

Some couples revel in the limelight though, whilst some take a moment to come into their own. 

Paul and Amy were the latter; most natural when I made myself invisible, shooting them in their own beautiful, informal moments of intimacy.

The light wasn’t right after the ceremony, so we pushed their photos back, instead heading out after dinner. 

To get to the best location, Amy hitched up her dress and Paul & Harvey from @meros_films lifted her over the gate. 

The shots of the journey are just as beautiful as the shots we captured at our endpoint.

Swipe through to see the of lengths we went to, to get the shots 🤍💋

My clients love detail as much as I do. When I hel My clients love detail as much as I do. When I help a bride with styling, I focus in on those little intricacies some might miss.

Wedding photography should be an outward physicalisation of how you feel. 

My couples know that I will capture them in their most flattering light, delivering images that remind them of exactly how they experienced their day...how they felt.

Every couple should feel like their images could grace the cover of Vogue.

Sunita and Raj were so great to shoot at their @coolingcastlebarn wedding. I love it when a bride doesn’t mind taking her exquisite dress outside into the elements to get the best shots. 

We might ramble into a corn field at golden hour. We might step outside to capture a kiss in the rain.

Because although the dress might need a dry-clean, you will have the most exquisite photography of your wedding day; images which will last forever. Images which are a true celebration of who you are as a couple, unfettered 🤍💋
