My quest is to capture your unique love story in bold, personality-packed imagery, while making sure you feel safe, seen, and very much you. Every couple gets a bespoke experience, from our first chat to the grand reveal of your gallery.

Whether you’re camera-shy, proudly Neuro-Spicy, or just want wedding photos that feel as epic as your love story, I’ll wield my camera with purpose (and a fair bit of joy). So let’s trade tales, have a laugh, and create something legendary. Ready to ride? 🗡️✨

About

I’m a self-confessed horror, fantasy, and video-game nut — a creature of the night with a love for all things macabre. Give me a cosy night in with my husband, a ghostly game, and a moody film soundtrack, and I’m happy as a hobbit with second breakfast. Lord of the Rings has my whole heart, and if it’s dead, strange, or washed up on a coastal wander with the dogs, I’m probably obsessed.

My FOUR fluffy puppers are my pride and joy: Luna the wild spirit, Penny the dreadful charmer, Bo the cheeky bozo and our new addition Minnie Mildred — a little medieval fable of their own. After 12 years behind the lens and 7 running my own show, I’ve got the best job going: making people laugh, feel seen, and capturing the magic in who they truly are.

FAQs

  • I’m based in Greater Manchester, but I travel all over the UK to capture love stories in all their wild, wonderful, and personality-packed glory. I’ve even had the pleasure of photographing the occasional overseas wedding—because let’s be honest, love (and a good adventure) knows no borders!

  • Wedding package prices vary for each service, coverage, and year.

    They typically start from £1400, but no package is set in stone and prices can change due to extras added.

    You can find my latest package brochures on my website.

  • I have very flexible wedding packages. For a shorter, more focused session, my half day provides up to 4 hours of coverage—perfect if there’s a particular part of your day you want captured. ie: Preparation to Ceremony, Ceremony to Speeches.

    If you’re after the full story, my full day package spans around 10 hours, covering everything from the intimate preparations to the magic of your first dance and right through to the lively party time where every laugh and cheer is immortalised.

  • Once your wedding day’s wrapped up, I dive into a proper editing marathon – usually around 6 to 12 weeks – to craft your full image collection. Each shot is given a bespoke treatment, ensuring the colours, style, and quality are spot on, like a finely woven piece of your very own tapestry. I’m not one for generic presets – where’s the charm in that? I want every image to tell your unique story, with every wedding gallery receiving its own personal edit. Think of it as creating your very own legend, as distinctive as a cherished tale from days of yore.

  • Item descriptionDon’t worry if your venue is a bit small or plain – we can always take a little jaunt to a nearby park or a scenic country road. I’ll hop in my trusty Bat Mobile (The Cupra) and we’ll pop out for a quiet minute of magic. And if your ceremony is in a different spot to your reception venue, no stress – we can make a charming little stop-off along the way to capture those extra special moments.

    If popping out isn’t for you, trust me, I can make the most of any environment to create you some epic photos.
