Most couples tell me the same thing—they want beautiful photos, but they don’t want to spend the whole day posing or feeling awkward in front of a camera.
That’s exactly why I work the way I do.
I focus on capturing real moments as they happen—so you can relax, be present, and enjoy every second with your favourite people.
Natural, unobtrusive, and completely about you
No stiff posing or forced smiles
Gentle guidance when you need it
A calm, friendly presence throughout the day
Real moments over staged ones
The result? Photos that actually feel like your wedding—not a photoshoot.
The photographer behind the lens
I haven’t always lived in Bristol — I’m originally from Edinburgh, Scotland, and moved to the South West in 2015 with my now husband. We’ve loved calling it home ever since.
With 50+ weddings photographed and 5+ years of experience, I know how important it is to help couples feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera.
My approach is natural, unobtrusive, and all about capturing the real moments — so you can enjoy your day without feeling like you’re in a photoshoot.
I’m based in Bristol and happily travel across the South West, Wales, and beyond.
I take on a limited number of weddings each year to give every couple a personal, relaxed experience from start to finish.
If you’d like to find out more or check my availability for your date, I’d love to hear from you.
