About me…

It sounds a bit cheesy, but I really love what I do. I feel utterly privileged to play such an important role in capturing your special moments.

My style is very natural and relaxed. I love to capture events as they unfold. My favorite weddings are the ones where a truly loved up couple surrounds themselves with people they love and they just have a great time celebrating their relationship. Thats what it’s all about.

Where it all began…

I have been in love with photography since I can remember. As a young child I used to beg for disposable cameras which I would use to document my life and everyone in it.

When I left school I studied fine art and photography. Back then we used film and dark rooms (I realise this makes me sound ridiculously old), and In more recent years I went back into education and completed a degree in digital photography.

Bit Personal…

I have a lovely hilarious son, and more recently we got a beautiful miniature dachshund called Frank, he could melt any heart with a single glance.

I work three days a week in the fostering service, it can be an emotional, but equally it’s so rewarding and I absolutely love it. I take a maximum of 12 weddings per year. This ensures that I give each couple my all, and I am not burnt out or overworked. It also helps me to maintain the joy of weddings.

Photographing wedding and families is a dream job. I know how cheesy that sounds, but it’s utterly true. I am a natural people watcher, I could sit and watch people all day long and never get bored. I invest so much into your day, I will laugh with you, I will cry with you, and it’s not unheard of for me to be there hoisting you into your spanks or dancing with you on the disco floor.

I generally try to blend into your day, capturing people in their natural moments, and documenting the day honestly, as it happens, because a wedding day is real, and anything goes at weddings (believe me).

Random Facts…

Well done if you got this far and didn’t fall asleep.

I am a true northerner, so obviously I love Gravy and Yorkshire puddings. I hate cheese (yes I know that’s so odd, and yes I do hate all cheeses not just the stinky ones).

I love a wide verity of music from Indie to cheesy pop and all things in-between.

I love travel and walking in the countryside, luckily for me I live a stones throw away from the Peak District, which also makes a beautiful backdrop for photoshoots.

I love a good old pie, and a nice shandy in a pub garden.

I can’t function without coffee.

I like random documentaries and true crime dramas.

I have a totally random sense of humour and I laugh a lot - at not a lot.

I have a lip stick addiction.

My favourite biscuit is a chocolate hobnob (excellent dunkers).

I love meeting new people and trying new things, and I believe you should never stop pushing yourself to learn and be a better person.

So, if you think we might be a good match, please get in touch, I would love to hear all about your plans.
