Romantic photograph of couple during confetti at South Wales Wedding

My approach, and why it might be a good match for you

Striving to be as unobtrusive as possible I aim to disappear into the background, observing the day as it naturally unfolds rather than directing or posing. Focusing on the people and details that matter the most to you, I capture the quiet moments and the chaotic ones, the tears and the laughter, wild bouquets and wilder confetti throws, your grandmothers pearl necklace you borrowed and your dads ‘father of the bride’ socks! 

These moments account for around 95% on a typical wedding day. The remaining 5% is a mix of more formal family photographs (8 combos is a sweet spot), and photos of just the two of you.

For couple portraits there’s never any awkward posing, I’ll steal you away for around 15 minutes in the afternoon and again in the evening as the sun is going down. We’ll go for a walk, and chat about anything and everything. I’ll stealthily snap you laughing, chatting, smooching…whatever feels right for you. 9/10 couples usually tell me afterwards how nice it was to take some time away from it all, just the two of them! Don’t worry if your a little nervous, everyone is!

After your wedding day…

You’ll be itching to see your photos, so I always send you a preview a few days after your day. I personally review and professionally edit around 400 of the best photographs from your day and deliver a mix of colour and black and white photographs in my signature rich, clean style in a personal gallery within 5-6 weeks.

Your gallery lets you download your photos in high resolution print-ready format, order prints or share with family and friends. Printing photos brings them to life so I also offer beautiful velvet albums.

The FAQs

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

Can we meet for a chat?

Absolutely! I actively encourage meeting via video call before booking to ensure we’re a good match ad answer any question you might have! My over-enthusiastic dogs will likely pop by to say ‘Hi’.

Do you offer engagement shoots?

Of course! I offer couple & engagement shoots both as part of wedding bookings or on their own if you just fancy some really nice, professional couple photos! They are a great way for us to get to know each other and for you to get a little more comfortable in front of a camera without the time constraints of your wedding day.

Help! We feel awkward about photos!

I hear this SO often! For couple portraits there’s no awkward posing, we’ll just take 15 or so minutes and go for a walk, and I’ll stealthily snap you laughing, chatting, kissing…whatever feels right for you.

How do we receive our photos?

Your gallery will be delivered digitally via an online gallery. You’ll be able to download high-resolution print-ready files, & share the gallery with friends & family who will have the option to order prints. While I recommend using a professional lab to ensure the best quality of printing, you receive the full personal print rights from me.

Do you offer albums?

I offer velvet luxury albums which start from £450. Albums can be added at the time of booking, but I like to wait until after your wedding to talk about them. It’s one less thing to stress about now, and sometimes budget doesn’t allow for extra items immediately.

How do we book?

First things first, let’s chat. I’d love to hear about your wedding plans, and a little about you yourselves! If we feel like a good match, I’ll require a £500 fee to save your date!
