Outdoor ceremonies just hit differently...

The wind, the laughter, the confetti flying absolutely everywhere, the reactions nobody could plan for. These are the moments that make a wedding feel like your wedding.

And they're exactly the moments I love to photograph.

For now, it's just the three of them...

Woodland walks. Shoulder rides. Sticky fingers. Endless questions. Tiny hands reaching for mum and dad. The kind of ordinary days that don't feel extraordinary until they're gone. These are the moments they want to remember, the laughter, the chaos, the closeness of life as it is right now.

And soon, they'll be four.

There was no standing still for this session. No asking anyone to smile at the camera. No perfectly posed moments.Just freedom to explore. To run through the woods, collect treasures, climb over logs, cuddle close and get wonderfully distracted by absolutely everything.

The best family photographs rarely come from asking children to perform. They come from giving them space to be exactly who they are. This chapter is full of anticipation. A little family on the edge of something new. Soaking up these last adventures as three before welcoming another tiny pair of feet into the story.

And years from now, when life feels bigger, louder and a little more chaotic, these photographs will take them back to this season. The woodland walks. The shoulder rides. The tiny hand reaching for mum and dad.

The last little while before they became four. 🤍

Pausing for a moment and taking in the view...

Capturing their childhood is one of the greatest honours of being both their mum and their photographer. Sometimes the most beautiful moments happen when you simply let children be children, free to run, explore, laugh, and be together.

The sand, the sea, the seagulls, and three little girls making memories on a beach they know so well. I had planned to incorporate my youngest daughter's first birthday cake smash into our session, but it quickly became a family affair. Her sisters wanted a taste, and before long the seagulls decided they should join in too.

Family photos don't have to be elaborate or taken somewhere extraordinary. This is our local beach, on a quiet Sunday before the summer crowds arrive in Cornwall. It's a place filled with memories already, countless walks, sandy toes, and endless adventures. For this shoot, I simply ordered a few beautiful dresses and brought my camera. The magic wasn't in the location or the outfits, it was in them.

What a privilege it is to fill our home with these moments. The everyday memories that, one day, will tell the story of their childhood ✨️🐚🌞

A year ago, our world looked very different.

Just over a week after Rosie was born, she underwent emergency bowel surgery and was incredibly poorly. Those days are something I’ll never forget, trying to be there for my tiny, fragile newborn, while also caring for a one year old and my eldest. It was survival mode in every sense.

Over the past year, I’ve taken a huge step back from my photography. I only honoured the weddings I already had booked, because my family needed me fully. Rosie needed me. And if I’m honest, so did I. Somewhere along the way, I neglected my business and myself, like so many mums do when life asks everything of them.

There were moments I felt like I’d failed, like I’d lost momentum… but the truth is, I was exactly where I needed to be. Today marks one year since Rosie’s surgery. And what a difference a year makes.
We’re in a completely different place now, stronger, calmer, and so incredibly grateful.

Rosie is thriving, and so are we. I finally feel like I can breathe again… and more than that, I feel excited. Excited to create, to connect, and to step back into photography with a full heart.
Behind the scenes, I’ve been slowly finding my way back, capturing beautiful maternity sessions and family moments, rediscovering what I love, and rebuilding in a way that reflects our new life here in Cornwall.

This past year was one I never would have chosen, but it gave me something I didn’t realise I needed: perspective, strength, and a deeper appreciation for both my family and my work.

And now… I’m ready. 🤍

There’s something really special about slowing things down…

Lately I’ve been shooting on a disposable camera, leaning into that raw, imperfect, 90s nostalgia feel. As someone who grew up in the 90s, this style just hits differently… it’s warm, honest, and full of soul.

Some of these photos were even taken by my 2-year-old 🥹 which makes them even more meaningful. Seeing little moments through their eyes? You can’t recreate that.

They’re not perfectly composed. A little blurry, a little unpredictable… but that’s the beauty of it. Real memories, captured as they are, no filters, no constant phone in hand. Just being present.This little camera now comes everywhere with me.

Soon, I’ll be adding this as an option to my photography packages, the perfect nostalgic add-on for family shoots, weddings, and more.

More details coming soon on how to include this in your booking ✨

For the women they will be one day... my dream, my inspiration, my girls ✨️

Documentary photography is so much more than . . . .

“capturing the day as it unfolds”, that’s literally just the surface. What I’m really doing is wrapping up the history of your relationship, your families, and all those years of dreaming and planning into a few hundred photos (…or thousands, let’s be honest).

Even if you planned your wedding in six months, you know you’ve been chatting about it for years. I definitely have with my partner, and no, before you ask, I’m still not engaged. It’s getting embarrassing now.

What I love most is finding you in your day. The personalities, the chaos, the personal touches that mean far more than “just details.” During my venue recce, I spotted this beautifully simple white cake sitting on a wooden stand, and right at the bottom was a little figurine of their dog, Teddy, caught mid–cake theft. Absolute icon behaviour. And such a perfect nod to the fact he’s a huge part of their family.

Your wedding day should feel like your life, your humour, your quirks, your people. And it’s so important your photographer actually sees all of that. Even the photos that seem “pointless” now? They’re the ones that end up becoming part of your story. The details aren’t just pretty things… they’re tiny reflections of who you are together.

I’ve had some pretty wild highlights in my career . . . .

shooting in venues I once obsessively Googled, travelling across the UK like a wedding-mad courier driver, and collecting enough behind-the-scenes stories to fuel Don’t Tell The Bride for another ten seasons.

But honestly? Nothing tops photographing the people I actually love.

Some photographers avoid shooting their mates’ weddings because they say it’s too much pressure. And look, fair enough. But me? I thrive in that chaos. I don’t see pressure, I see pure honour. Also, full honesty: I wouldn’t trust anyone else to photograph them anyway. Control issues? Oh, absolutely. But at least I’m upfront about it.

My friends, just like my couples, get the real me. The version who will happily lie flat on the floor to fix your train, adjust your veil, and straighten every single button like I’m being graded on it. And yes, I will tell you if you’ve got something in your teeth. I care too much about how you’ll feel when you look at your photos.

No one wants to be saying “I do” with a bit of rogue croissant lodged between their front teeth. Not on my watch.

This is just who I am at every wedding, your photographer, hype woman, emotional support human, and unofficial bridesmaid all rolled into one. If something goes wrong, if someone goes missing, if a family member is two seconds away from photobombing the first kiss… don’t worry. I’m already dealing with it like some sort of wedding-day ninja.

Photographing my best friend’s wedding felt like a full-circle moment. Equal parts emotional, hilarious, chaotic, and ridiculously special. And now I get to share some of those images… which is lovely for me and mildly stressful for her, because she will analyse her own face in every one.

But honestly? It was magic.

G R O U P P I C T U R E E N E R G Y . . .

When I asked for a quick group photo, I certainly wasn’t expecting a full-blown champagne explosion.. but that’s exactly what made this moment unforgettable. Instead of perfect poses and practiced smiles, we got something far better: real laughter, pure energy, and a snapshot of what the day actually felt like.

As a photographer, these are the moments I live for. The ones that can’t be staged or scripted, where joy takes over and everyone forgets there’s a camera in front of them. It’s in these bursts of chaos that the most genuine, lasting memories are made.

Because at the end of the day, the best group shots aren’t about symmetry or stillness. They’re about storytelling, emotion, and a celebration of everything that makes a day like this so completely, wonderfully human.

Capturing more than moments...

Being a wedding photographer isn’t just about documenting the people. It's about telling the full story of the day. Every detail, every bloom, and every carefully placed table setting is a piece of the couple’s vision brought to life by an incredible team of suppliers.

When I photograph the venue setup, the florals, the stationery, or the cake. I’m capturing the artistry and dedication of so many talented people who make the day possible. It’s all part of the story, not just of the couple’s love but of the collaboration and creativity that brings their dream to life.

Every detail matters. Every creator’s work is valid. Together, we make the magic. 💫
