About Me!
I first fell in love with weddings when I took my camera along to a friend’s wedding as practice. I gave the bride a little photo album of images – moments that I spotted throughout the day – and she cried. That reaction was enough for me to quit my job and start creating those meaningful images for other people. Fifteen years later I’m still obsessed with it all.
How it started…
My dad had an incredible brain. He was brilliant at quizzes, remembered the most wonderfully obscure facts and could tell a story that kept everyone listening.
My mum was endlessly creative. She was always cooking something unusual, making something by hand or redesigning the house. Her memory, though, was never quite as reliable and later, she lived with dementia.
Somewhere between the two of them, I exist.
A storyteller. A memory keeper. A cheerleader for the people in front of my camera.
Thankfully, I inherited more of my dad’s memory than my mum’s. But watching her memories gradually disappear shaped me in ways I only really understand now. It taught me that memories are fragile, that the ordinary moments we take for granted are often the ones that become priceless.
It’s probably why I’m so drawn to stories. Whether it’s the songs of The Decemberists, Tori Amos or David Bowie, I’m fascinated by artists who weave emotion, atmosphere and narrative into everything they create.
That’s what I hope to do with my photography.
I want to create photographs that feel like scenes from a film, full of light, feeling and story. Images that don’t just show what happened but remind you how it felt. Beautiful, cinematic photographs that become part of your family’s history for years to come.
But I wasn’t always a wedding photographer.
Before this, I spent years as a journalist at the BBC, working on programmes including Question Time and Newsround. Storytelling was always at the heart of what I did, but I gradually realised the stories I wanted to tell weren’t made with words, they were made with light, people and moments.
So I retrained in photojournalism, learning to anticipate the fleeting glance, the quiet gesture and the split second that says more than a hundred posed photographs ever could.
Then a friend asked me to photograph their wedding.
Everything clicked.
It brought together everything I loved: storytelling, human connection, beautiful light and the privilege of witnessing real moments as they unfolded. It felt less like finding a new career and more like discovering the place I’d been heading all along.
My Why?
A bride wiping away a tear full of nerves. The father of the bride handing over his baby girl to her new love. That first kiss as a married couple. When your mum hugs you just a bit too tight because she just gets it.
These are the moments that you will cherish. Those little moments and those feelings are everything. These are YOUR moments. I want to wrap them up for you so you can hold onto them forever. That’s what I want to give to you. That’s My Why!
