“We didn’t want pictures that were so ‘edgy and arty’ that they belonged in a gallery rather than on a mantelpiece! But Sarah balanced what we wanted perfectly and our album is beautifully varied.”
- I’ll bring an open mind (and a camera or two) to document every dimension of your day just as it's revealed to me.
- There’ll be no gratuitous, contrived creativity all over your photos – like a designer label that shouts so loud you can’t see the person behind it.
- Instead, my creative calling card is quiet. Whatever your wedding looks like, your photos will be true, timeless, tasteful, and totally you.
- This is a place where your wedding will shine – in all its beautiful unboxed glory.
So here’s my pledge:
…Because a wedding has more nuance than an ever-changing sunset.
There’s calm and chaos, elegance and eccentricity, love and laughter, silliness and solemnity, tradition and trends… It’s a magical melting pot of everything that makes you, well, you.
Then there are moments that happen in bright light and others that unfold in darker settings. Not to mention Mother Nature’s endless combination of ideas.
So to pick one 'look' feels limiting. The mood, moments, feelings, backgrounds, and light of a wedding day continually change. And it’s all precious enough to preserve just as it is.
- Wine. Because, despite being terrible, it disappears faster than a magician’s rabbit!
- Iced doughnuts. Because who wants to lick icing from a lid?!

“We wanted everything possible and were not disappointed at all.”
It’s OK to want to have your ten-tier wedding cake and eat it…
Because wedding photography isn’t about highlights. It’s about the complete story of your day, captured to a consistent quality. A handful of showstoppers won’t cut it. You need an album-full!
And that requires a natural narrative of the day to capture the moments, feelings, and atmosphere. A few beautifully authentic pics of you two here. A handful of classic family group photos there. Thoughtful decor and details everywhere. Slip in some stunning scenic shots. And, ahh – that hits the spot!
Hmm. If only you could find one photographer who does all those things, to an equally high standard, without detracting from your day.
*sticks hand in the air* Hi, hey, hello! I’ve spent two decades honing my soul-whispering, time-bending, cat-herding, and cake-eating skills - so you don’t have to sacrifice quality portraits or details for your dream of relaxed pictures.

Want to see how this looks IRL?
- Bigger screen equals bigger feelings. It’s science (probably). So use the largest screen you can find. Hint: If it fits in one hand, it's too small.
- These albums are a fraction of the full set (‘cos sharing full weddings here would break the internet for a week). A complete collection has more of everything - especially guests, flowers, and dogs.
Pssst!
