MY STYLE
RELAXED AND EASY
Wedding Photography
Whether you’re planning a big celebration with all your loved ones or an cosy micro-wedding or elopement, wedding photography is about so much more than just the big day itself! Every photographer has their own style, and finding the right one for you is key. Finger’s crossed – we might just be the perfect match!
I only take on a handful of weddings each year so I can spend time really getting to know you, help with pre-wedding planning, and be there to capture every little moment of your day with a calm, stress-free, and relaxed approach. I also want to get your photos back to you as quickly as possible, so let’s chat early and lock in your date before someone else snatches it!
Before booking
If you’ve seen something on my website that you like and want to learn more about me or my approach to weddings, I’d love to chat! Whether it’s a phone or video call, I’m here to answer any questions. Just fill out my enquiry form with as much detail as you can, and I’ll get back to you to set up a relaxed, no-pressure conversation. There’s no such thing as a silly question!
I know for some of you, this might be the first time booking a professional photographer, so I’m happy to guide you through the process and make sure you have all the important info you need!
The booking process
To secure your date, I just need a signed contract and a 20% deposit. Don’t worry if you haven’t decided on your final package yet—we can always tweak things as your plans evolve!
The remaining balance is due one month before your wedding day. We can set up a payment plan to get things out the way earlier if you want to. Easy peasy!
After booking
Once you’ve booked with me, I’m here for as much help and communication as you need leading up to your big day. I’ll send over my wedding planning guide, which is packed with tips and advice on planning with photography in mind—everything from creating the perfect timeline to recommendations for other awesome wedding suppliers I love to work with.
If you’d like, we can also schedule a pre-wedding engagement shoot (you can add this to your package). It’s a great way for us to get to know each other better and for you to feel more comfortable in front of the camera before the big day!
On the day
My wedding photography is all about keeping things relaxed and natural. I’ll just hang back and document your day as it happens, catching those wonderful, unscripted moments that make your day unique. No interuptions or staging or posing—just a beautiful, real story of your wedding from start to finish. I’ll blend in with you and your guests, like a little shadow, capturing all those personal moments without interrupting the fun. You just keep enjoying the day, and I’ll make sure to capture the magic as it unfolds!
Of course, I also love stealing you both away for a few quiet minutes when the light is perfect. We’ll get some beautiful shots of the two of you together, but don’t worry— no awkward posing, I promise—it will be you two just being your beautiful selves. Think of it as your moment to shine without feeling like you’re auditioning for a magazine cover! And don’t worry, we won’t be gone long enough for you to miss the party!
If you want to see a full collection of images from a real wedding, head over to my blog! It’ll give you a feel for the whole story of a day.
After your wedding
Afterwards, I’m a busy bee working to deliver you images that let you relive those special moments over and over again. Every image is hand-edited with warm, timeless tones so when you look back, you’ll feel all the love, joy, and magic of your day—again and again! You’ll receive a lovely bunch of highlights from your day within a week of your wedding (I know, I’m excited to share them too!). Your full gallery will be ready within 6-8 weeks.
While you can choose just digital images, I’m a huge fan of printing photos so they don’t just sit forgotten on a phone or computer. From your private online gallery, you and your guests can easily order prints, frames, and other beautiful wall art that will bring your memories to life at home.
I also offer a gorgeous wedding album design. I work with top-notch UK album printers to create custom, beautiful wedding albums that tell your story in the most stunning way. For more info on albums, check out the link below!
