Tell us about your business!
I am an analogue and digital photographer based in the UK. I specialise in capturing timeless, authentic, and emotive images. My work spans wedding photography, events, and lifestyle photography, where I strive to tell stories through natural light and genuine moments. I focus on creating a comfortable environment that brings out the best in my clients, resulting in beautiful photographs they’ll cherish forever. My passion lies in delivering images that are not just pictures, but memories crafted with artistry and care.
What would you like couples to know about you?
As a wedding photographer, I want couples to know that I’m here to capture the authentic, beautiful moments of your day in a way that feels natural and timeless. My approach is to blend into your celebration, allowing genuine emotions, laughter, and love to shine through. I strive to make you feel comfortable and at ease, so you can focus on enjoying every moment while I document memories you’ll cherish forever. Your story is unique, and I’m honoured to be a part of preserving it through my lens.
Where are you based?
I’m based in Staffordshire, UK, but I’m rarely working close to home. Most of the time, you’ll find me in and around London or traveling across Europe.
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes, for the past four years, I’ve been traveling extensively between the UK, Italy, Spain, France, Greece, USA exploring all countries in depth. This experience allows me to provide valuable insights, recommendations, and guidance to my clients, whether it’s about local vendors, services, or hidden gems. I offer an all-inclusive pricing model for Europe, so you can book me for any country across the continent.
How would you describe your style?
My photography style can be described as a blend of authentic, romantic, and timeless. I strive to capture genuine moments and emotions, infuse a sense of romance and elegance into my compositions, and create images that will stand the test of time. Through my unique perspective and attention to detail, I aim to create photographs that not only capture the moment but also evoke emotions and nostalgia for years to come.
I use both film and digital photography to craft exquisite images that you’ll cherish, and take time getting to know you as a couple so that your personalities radiate through each shot.
What is your most memorable career moment?
It's hard to pinpoint just one defining moment, but I think the first time I booked a wedding in Europe stands out. It was such a joyful and validating experience—it confirmed that my business model was on the right track.
What inspires you?
Every moment tells a story. I am endlessly inspired by the beauty of human connection and the emotions that fill the air on a couple’s most cherished day. It’s not just about capturing images; it’s about preserving memories that will last a lifetime—moments that whisper love, joy, and the promises of forever.
I am inspired creatively by various things such as nature, people, music, art, different cultures, personal experiences, and emotions. I like to draw inspiration from my surroundings and inner thoughts, channeling them into my work to create something unique and meaningful. The world is full of inspiration waiting to be discovered, and I strive to bring that into my work.
How would you describe your working style?
I’m very well organised and good at communication. I focus on capturing genuine moments as they naturally unfold, ensuring I tell the unique story of your wedding day. I strive to be discreet, allowing you and your guests to fully enjoy the celebration while I document candid emotions, interactions, and details.
At the same time, I bring a creative eye for portraits and composition, gently guiding when needed for stunning, timeless images. My goal is to balance a relaxed and natural approach with an attention to detail, delivering photos that reflect the authentic energy, beauty, and emotion of your day.
Do you shoot digitally, on film or both?
I shoot analogue film and digital. I typically capture about one-third of your wedding day on film, with the remainder on digital. I’m always exploring new approaches, gauging client preferences, and adapting to what’s in demand.
Do you have custom packages according to individual needs?
All weddings are bespoke and quoted for individually, but I have a base pricing as a starting point.
What is a favourite product or service that you offer and why?
Film photography, which I truly adore.
Where would you love to travel to for work?
I would love to capture weddings in Mexico, Bali, USA. Years ago I left a piece of my heart in Italy, I have always felt a strong connection with this country.
Who is your dream client?
I adore working with couples from diverse cultural backgrounds who are easygoing, love food and music, enjoy exploring new places, and have a strong passion for photography, art and fashion.
What is your advice to couples getting married?
As a wedding photographer, my advice to couples getting married is to focus on being present and enjoying every moment of your day. The day goes by quickly, and the most genuine, beautiful photos happen when you’re fully immersed in the experience, surrounded by love and laughter. Trust your photographer to capture those meaningful moments, both big and small, and don’t stress about posing perfectly — candid shots often hold the most magic.
Also, consider the timeline carefully, allowing time for portraits, family photos, and quiet moments for just the two of you. Finally, remember that this day is about celebrating your love, so relax, have fun, and cherish it — your joy will shine through in every photograph.
