My approach



My approach is to capture those real moments of you as a couple with your closest family and friends, telling your wedding story in the most authentic way that I can.

I love documenting intimate weddings that are all about the two of you with your closest people.


Moments are happening all the time and I look for them whether its kids playing on the lawn, bridesmaids fixing their hair, the guys having a cheers, the sacred vows, the exchange of rings, the parents, the friend from school, the grandparents congratulating you and those quiet moments or looks you give each other- all the moments that make up your story and it would be an honour to capture yours.


I have been shooting weddings for more than 12 years and absolutely love what I do.
