My Style? Timeless, Honest, and a Little Bit artsy

My couples and clients say I make them feel relaxed, comfortable, and confident – and that’s exactly what I aim for.

I don’t follow trends, I follow people. My style is natural, effortless, and a little artistic, capturing real moments as they unfold. I’m easy to be around and my couples often say they feel like they have a friend behind the camera rather than a photographer barking orders. My approach? Relaxed, chatty, and fun. I blend natural storytelling with just enough direction to make sure you feel comfortable, never awkward. No stiff poses. No fake smiles. Just you, as you are.

When you book me, you’re not just getting someone with a camera – you’re getting a personal assistant, dress-fluffer, calm-in-the-chaos presence, and occasional therapist (no extra charge). I’ve been known to fix veils, soothe nerves, and even help coordinate timelines – whatever it takes to make sure your day runs smoothly and you feel magical. 

If you book my second photo and video package, you’ll also meet Mike – my husband, second shooter, and videographer. We’ve been working together for nearly 20 years; he’s the calm, laid-back yin to my energetic yang, and together we capture weddings in both photo and video, telling your story in the most beautiful way.

I’m a Sussex-based wedding and branding photographer, capturing love stories and creative souls with a mix of energy, romance, and a touch of editorial magic.

My journey with photography began in the ’90s at school and A-Level, but life took me in a different direction—I became a teacher. Still, photography never left me. When my mum passed away abroad, the only thing we took from her home in that moment were our family photos. Everything else could wait, but those images? They mattered. They told our story. And honestly, we don’t have enough of them—you never can.

That’s why I do what I do. Because photos aren’t just pictures; they’re memories you can return to, time and time again.

When I’m not holding a camera…

I’m either chasing after my two boys, lifting weights to keep strong for my camera gear, or shooting personal work on film—because film has my heart, and I’ll always come back to it.

I can’t wait to hear about you – your story, your plans, and what will make your day yours.

Photography isn’t just about the images, it’s about capturing the way you feel – the little moments, the big emotions, the things you don’t even realise were happening until you see them frozen in time. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, let’s chat.
