Late summer golden light, a local village church, and a quintessential English country garden filled with love, blooms and memories ✨

Imogen & Tom’s day was the perfect blend of tradition and heart — from the local church ceremony in Imogen’s family village, to golden-hour portraits in the garden where she once played as a child.

A day steeped in love, laughter, and the kind of English countryside magic that only early September days can bring 🌞

Brought together by an incredible team of suppliers:

If I were to build a house
I’d have your arms as the walls
Your eyes as the windows
Your smile as the front door
Your heart as the fireplace
And your soul as my light
And in this house
I’d place my faith
Knowing I’d finally
Found a home

What an incredible day for these two 🤍 The most relaxed and fun vibe all day at this London wedding. The flowers by @peshflowers were so beautiful and smelled divine. This hidden gem of a garden venue in the centre of London is so tranquil against the incredible surrounding architecture.

Robyn & Adam at the gorgeous @villiersbarnvenue

What an incredible day with these two 🤍 I loved the music theme throughout the day that was subtle and classy with the addition of disco balls which I loved! Adam is a DJ so naturally this was perfect for them.

Villiers Barn is such a gorgeous venue in rural Essex, the owners and staff are second to none and went above and beyond all day to make Robyn and Adam’s day just perfect and yet personal to them.

Why go timeless and nostalgic when it comes to your wedding photography?

Hear me out…

- it transcends trends and fads that will date fast, meaning it will have the ability to resonate with people across different generations. They will be enjoyed and appreciated not only by yourselves now, but by your children and grandchildren and future generations.

- it captures the essence and emotion of a particular moment in time, bringing back the excitement, joy and love you felt at that time.

- it holds an artistic value that is more than documentation. It captures the beauty and significance of connection and people and personalities.

Photography that stands the test of time 🤍

Elopement photography is so special. The combination of adventure, intimacy and beauty just can't be beaten. Pure magic

Elopement photography is so special. The combination of adventure, intimacy and beauty just can't be beaten. Pure magic

Tips for feeling comfortable in front of the camera:

1. Book a pre-wedding session so that we can get to know each other and you can become accustomed to being in front of the camera before the big day.

2. Movement is magic. Don't feel the need to be stiff in front of the camera, movement works really well and I encourage it!

3. Focus on being present in the moment and enjoying the day. Embrace the love and joy surrounding you, and let your genuine emotions shine through in the photos.

4. Be Yourself: Remember that the best photos capture your authentic personality and emotions. Be yourself, laugh, smile, and enjoy the moment.

Hey hey! It’s me, it’s been too long since I posted my smile here so thought I’d say hello and introduce myself to all the lovely new followers.

I’m Danielle, photographer, animal lover, weightlifter, cake muncher, gin taster and holiday and adventure addict.

My favourite things to capture at weddings are authentic love, heartfelt moments, tender connections and beautiful details.

My approach is to document your love story in a way that feels natural and beautiful ❤️

If this sounds like your style, I’d love to be friends. My inbox is always open, drop me a message if you’d like to chat.

Big thanks to @sarahanderson.photography for capturing this lovely portrait of me 🤍

A moment for the groom. I usually try to capture a few casual portraits of the groom and his groomsmen before the ceremony on the wedding day. It’s nice to try and capture a bit of the both of you during the preparations. However, to guarantee this and make sure you have enough time to capture this without being rushed for time, I would always recommend having a second photographer. Having a second will allow so much more time to capture all those little extra moments.

Bridal prep is one of my favourite times of the day. The calm before the storm ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some tips to help keep bridal prep stress free:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ aim to be ready earlier than necessary. Things always run over!
✨ ask your bridal party to keep the room as today as possible for clutter free photos
✨ have all of your little details in one place ready for me to photograph when I arrive
✨ relax and enjoy your big day 🥂 don’t sweat the small stuff on the day and just enjoy it for what it is 🤍
