Elegant Wedding Photography, Made Effortless
A relaxed, guided process from first hello to final gallery
Your Wedding Photography Journey
You’ve found the calm in the wedding planning chaos
You’ve fallen in love with the style, the feeling, and the vision. Now what? This page is here to walk you through how we’ll work together — from first enquiry to receiving your photographs — with clarity, ease, and no guesswork.
Relax—this part of wedding planning is simpler than you think.
Booking your wedding photographer doesn’t have to be hard.
Out of all the big decisions you’ll make while planning your wedding, this might be one of the easiest. No endless back-and-forths, no overwhelming options—just a simple, personal experience from the start.
I’m here to guide you through it all with clarity and calm, keeping things relaxed, honest and human. Whether you’ve got a clear vision or feel completely lost in a sea of Pinterest boards.
For couples who want real moments, with just the right amount of guidance
Because feeling relaxed and looking your best can absolutely go hand in hand
My wedding photography isn’t about just letting you figure it all out for yourself.
Most couples want their wedding to feel relaxed and natural—not like a day-long photoshoot. I completely agree. My approach is all about letting moments unfold, while offering just enough direction to help you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands—I’ll gently guide you when needed, and step back when the moment speaks for itself.
Space to just be—no pressure, no forced moments
A calm, friendly presence behind the camera
Subtle prompts to help you feel relaxed and connected
Not overly posed. Not overly documentary. Just perfectly you.
The most natural photos often come from a little help at the right moment—just enough to help you feel relaxed and connected, without ever feeling staged.
No two couples are the same—and your photos shouldn’t be either. That’s why I approach each wedding with fresh eyes and an open mind. I’ll take time to get to know what matters most to you, so that every photo feels personal, not posed, and every moment feels like it truly belongs to your story.
Throughout the day, I’m there for the real, unfiltered bits—the spontaneous laughter, the quiet in-betweens, the way you light up when you look at each other. And when the time is right, I’ll gently guide you into a little pocket of calm—just the two of you, away from the noise—for some beautifully natural portraits. It’s never about stiff posing; it’s about creating space for connection and slowing down together.
I’ll read the room, offer soft direction when it’s helpful, and let things breathe when they need to. So your photos won’t just show what your day looked like—they’ll reflect how it felt, in a way that’s completely and unmistakably you.
Here’s what happens next, and how the whole process works—step by step.
simple steps to make the process smooth
your complete booking experience
01.
get in touch & say hello
It all starts with a relaxed conversation
Whether you’ve got a date locked in or you’re still figuring things out, the first step is simple—just reach out. Send over a few details about your day, and I’ll get back to you with everything you need to know. No pressure, no pushy sales talk—just a relaxed chat to see if we’re the right fit.
You don’t need to have all the answers yet—this is just the start, and I’m here to help guide you through it.
Typically, I normally respond with-in a couple of hours, however during busy wedding season, this may be up to 24hrs, but rest assured, I’ll be in touch as soon as I can.
02.
Your day, safely in the diary
Lock in your date and relax
Once you’ve had a chance to look through everything and it feels right, we’ll get your date secured with a simple online booking form and a deposit. No mountains of paperwork—just a straightforward process that takes care of the formal bits so you can get back to the fun stuff.
From here, I’m all yours—and I’ll be just a message away for anything you need.
03.
Quietly in the background (until it’s time to zoom in)
Behind the scenes, but just a message away
Once you’re all booked in, things will go a little quiet on my end—but I’m still here whenever you need me. I won’t be filling your inbox during the planning process, but if you ever have a question (even if it’s not photo-related), I’m only a message away.
Need advice on timelines, content creators, or how long to allow for confetti photos? I’ve got you. I work closely with some brilliant videographers and trusted suppliers, and I’m always happy to point you in the right direction if you’re feeling a bit stuck.
About four weeks before your wedding, I’ll send over a short questionnaire to gather the important details—like group shots, key timings, and anything personal you want me to be aware of. Then, a couple of weeks before the big day, we’ll jump on a Zoom call to chat it all through—from the logistics to the fun stuff.
It’s relaxed, personal, and designed to help you feel totally at ease heading into the day.
04.
Shaping the flow of your day
From timings to tiny details—we’ll cover it all
As your wedding gets closer, we’ll jump on a Zoom call to walk through the finer details of your day. This is our chance to talk through timings, lighting, locations—and to make sure we’re on the same page with all the moments that matter most to you.
We’ll chat about everything from confetti plans to your formal group photos, and any sensitive or important things you’d like me to be aware of. This helps me move quietly and respectfully through the day, so you can stay fully present without worrying about a thing.
When it comes to group photos, I’ll always work around your priorities. I usually suggest keeping these to around 10 combinations, just to make sure you’ve still got time for those slower, more relaxed moments together before dinner is served. Each group shot takes about 3–5 minutes to gather and photograph, and that time can add up quickly—but if you’d like more, that’s absolutely fine too. It’s your day, and I’m here to support whatever feels right for you.
I’ll also ask if there’s someone in your wedding party who can help round people up for the group shots—it’s a small thing that makes a big difference to how smoothly everything runs.
This call is one of my favourite parts—it’s where your day starts to really take shape, and where I can make sure the space is there for the photographs that feel most like you.
05.
The story unfolds—and I’ll be right there with you
A celebration that feels like you—real, joyful, and full of heart.
The day is finally here—and it’s going to fly by in the most wonderful blur of hugs, laughter, and happy chaos. I’ll be right there in the mix, quietly capturing it all as it unfolds.
I usually suggest two or three short couple shoots, each just 15–20 minutes long, gently slotted into quiet moments that won’t take you away from the heart of the celebration.
From the excitement of morning preparation, to the crazy drink induced evening dancing & everything in-between, we’ll create moments that’ll keep you looking time and time again!
If you’re up for something a bit more creative later on, I can also offer a few flash-lit shots to bring a bit of evening drama into the mix. These are always optional, and always relaxed—it’s your time, your energy, and your call.
