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

Summer wedding decor vibes right here ☝🏻

This concept was brought to life by the amazing @m_weddingandevents and @emozioniflorealidaflora at a stunning venue in Puglia @masseriafontanadivite

The pops of colour, stone details and use of fresh produce gives it a very authentic Puglian feel. I’m in love 😍

Ran & Luka celebrating their love at @innertemplegarden

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.

Was so lovely to meet and work with @timeandoath too

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.
