AWARD WINNING WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
MY STYLE
My style is mainly documentary but with a twist. I specialise in capturing the natural joyful moments of your wedding without interfering, and shooting the stunning details you’ve spent months curating. However, I’m not averse to grinning at your guests to capture bigger smiles and I’ll certainly grab some traditional family photos for your parents’ mantelpiece!
Couple photos won’t be a tortuous hour-long session of micro-posing. I’ll mostly just encourage you to be cute together in picturesque places and beautiful light but will happily give extra posing advice if it helps you feel comfortable. I’m great at blitzing my way through a group photo list so you get the key photos you want without fainting with hunger! I’ll have you back to your guests (and canapés!) in no time, feeling slightly surprised at the fun we’ve had!
I’ve shot over 400 weddings and still absolutely adore them. I’ve won a couple of national ‘Best Wedding Photographer’ awards and am a recommended wedding photographer at a dozen wedding venues in and around Surrey…but most importantly people seem to like having me around on their wedding day! Take a look at the kind words people have said about me on my home page.
FAQs
The Process
We’ve got some questions – can we chat?
Absolutely! We can chat on the phone/Whatsapp/Zoom or you’re welcome to come to my home in Englefield Green (Surrey) if you’d like. My weekends are taken up with weddings and occasionally seeing my poor husband/children, so I do client meetings during the week – evenings are absolutely fine as I realise pesky work often gets in the way of weekday wedding planning!
We love your work – how do we book?
What happens after booking?
How long does it take for us to see our photos? Can we print from the USB stick?
The Nitty Gritty
Do you do engagement/pre-wedding shoots?
My fiancée hates having his/her photo taken! And we don’t want lots of posed shots. Is that a problem?!
I know your style is quite natural, but will you take formal/group photos?
Do you work alone?
Do you need to do a site visit before photographing our wedding?
I don’t usually do site visits because so much of the what really affects the photographs changes day to day. The light is the key part, so where I recommend doing couple photographs is different depending on whether it’s sunny and the time of day or year. Other variables are things like what’s in bloom in a garden or whether a catering van will be in the background! I’ve photographed so many weddings that I’m used to assessing venues/light etc on the fly and working quickly and flexibly. Of course if you think a site visit is essential at your venue let me know and I’m always happy to discuss!
Do we need to feed you on the wedding day? Do you have any dietary reqs?
What happens if your camera breaks?
Do you have insurance? And are you VAT registered?
What happens if you’re ill on our wedding day?
Firstly, I’ve photographed over 400 weddings and have never come close to missing a day. I’m pretty robust – in 8 years at an office job I only took one day off sick (and even then, don’t tell my boss, but I could have staggered in if it were important!), and I don’t ride horses or other risky pursuits! But I’m a member of several networks of photographers who cover each other in case of emergency so I’m confident someone would be able to cover.
