about me
WELCOME TO MY WORLD
Welcome to my world. It’s one filled with beautiful urban landscapes and mid-century architecture. I’m a London wedding photographer who takes her creative lead from the muted colours and sweeping cinematic grandeur of the city. I love the juxtaposition between the freshly married couple in front of me and a gorgeously gritty backdrop. I love to use the scenery to create cool, unusual imagery. Something just a little bit different, y‘know?
I am not exclusive though and, beside cool warehouse and studio venues in London, you will find me photographing weddings in stately homes, barns and outdoor locations.
Although I’m not big on labels, my approach to photographing weddings could definitely be described as “modern documentary“. You might even call it “alternative”. I shoot in a discreet, unobtrusive way that’s a little bit different to your average. I tend to shy away ever so slightly from stiff, traditional wedding photography. I do, however, pour lots of energy and creative gusto into your wedding portraits.

I'LL SHOOT ANYONE
When I’m shooting a wedding, I like to focus on the connection between you and your partner as well as the party going on around you. How you respond to one another, how you laugh, how you joke with one another, I think it’s the beating heart of any partnership. On a day that’s specifically about you two and your friends and family, it’s important that your photographer “gets” you and what you’re about. It’s the best party you’ll probably ever go to, with more joy, emotion and elation than you’ll ever experience in one day again during your lifetime. For me, it’s important that you’re able to experience every moment of it without worrying about the photography. You can leave that to me.
Goes without saying that I’ll shoot any kind of wedding you can think of: anything from big family gatherings to intimate elopements, it’s all good. I’ve worked with couples from every corner of the world, and support every kind of orientation, gender, identification preference or belief system you can dream of.
Whether you’re conducting a multi-faith transgender ceremony in an old music hall, or marrying the boy or girl next door in the church where your mum and dad got married, I want to be involved.
