the friendly Wedding Photographer

So a LittLe More about me...

I’m from the small town of Alton in Hampshire, l loved growing up there and still visit regularly so see my parents and many school friends that are a huge part of my life. I studied at Leeds University where I had the time of my life and met amazing friends with whom I created memories I’ll treasure forever. My degree was in Graphic Arts but I was always drawn to photography and this is where I focused my work. When I started learning photography it was all about my beloved medium format camera. I spent hours in the dark room with all the chemicals, creating an amazing image from film. There is something very magical about this process and I’m glad I had the opportunity to develop my photography skills this way. 

I moved to London in my mid twenties, met my lovely husband and together we enjoyed all that the wonderful city has to offer. In 2016 we made the big move and bought our first house in a village in Surrey called Merstham near Redhill and Reigate. The next year our lives changed forever when our little superstar Jack came along and we entered the amazing, wonderful, exhausting world of parenthood. Then a couple years later our gorgeous baby Thomas joined the gang and our family was complete.

Thankfully this magnificent job of being a wedding photographer enables me to spend lots of time with my boys and for that I feel incredibly lucky. 

I love the countryside, the calm of nature, and I absolutely love the sea. I'm a water baby and never happier than when submerged in water. In general I like being active, I swim, run, play netball & cricket, and I would do more if I had the time! Life is for living, that's my motto, I'll always say yes to an opportunity. 

Over the years I have done a variety of work but my underlying passion has always been photographing people. Capturing a single moment of time that tells a whole story is truly captivating and something that will never fail to amaze me. For me weddings are the perfect environment; the amazing couples, the stories, the love, the happiness, it really is an honour to be part of each and every one.

Having been a bride myself in the summer of 2014 I know the experience from both sides of the camera and what the means to everyone involved. You spend months planning your perfect day and the whole thing is a whirlwind that you want to relive over and over again. To have amazing photos that you love and can look back on for years to come is priceless. Weddings are expensive and it’s hard to see the true value of quality photography until after the day has passed but it’s important to remember that those photos are what you have to remember your day by.
