What a day 🤍 Imogen & Shanice understood the assignment: get married, throw confetti (twice!), and party hard!

A first look that had everyone emotional, a ceremony at Chelsea Old Town Hall, and then the streets of Chelsea (and Albert Bridge) as their playground.

By the time we hit The Cooper’s Arms, Shania Twain was blasting, the dancefloor was packed, and the only rule was: have the best time ever.

Spring sunshine, black tie looks, and so much love - the dream.

My love for these two is absolutely real and I couldn't be happier for them! 😍

A little rain couldn’t stop the magic ✨
Becca & Torin’s day at Southdowns Manor was filled with cosy spring vibes, family moments that melted my heart (looking at you, Nan’s cake + the cowboy hat dance!), and memories that will last a lifetime.
The sweetest day! 🌸🌿

Katherine & Ben's wedding at Upwaltham Barns was packed with surprises, stories, and so much soul!💛

From the Royal Marines Band Corps of Drums bringing the wow-factor to a wild ceilidh that had everyone on their feet - the day was full of joy from start to finish. Katherine's mum made the awesome cakes and lots of handmade touches. Ben’s parents even brought honey they made themselves 🐝 and gifted the couple a handmade beehive (with their names on it, of course 🥹).

One of my favourite moments? Recreating Ben's parents' wedding photo, complete with the exact Austin car they were married in 35 years ago! A beautiful nod to family, heritage and history.

A spring wedding with a natural, military twist - and a whole lot of heart.

Sophie & Luke wanted a wedding that felt relaxed, full of love, and an all-out party...and that’s exactly what they got at Wotton House! From the emotional speeches that had everyone welling up to a conga-off showdown 🕺💃 and the absolute chaos of a photo dash to Jump in the Line 🎶, the day was packed with fun, laughter, and all their favourite people.

These two aren’t ones for the spotlight, but the way they’re just so into each other was impossible to miss. And when it was time to party? They went for it! 🍾💃

Big love to this incredible team who helped make it happen:

It's been a little while! I took a little hiatus,

It's been a little while! I took a little hiatus, a little breathing time to do life, to enjoy my family more before going into weddings full pelt. Something that's a bit of a rarity tbh.

I've also had to heal a little from losing a family member who meant and will continue to be the absolute world to me... grief is a funny one to navigate, isn't it? It's a very different pace that won't be rushed nor should it be. I'm OK though and will continue to be because I have so many awesome people in my world.

Not long now until my first weddings of the year and I'm looking forward to jumping in feet first to all that lovely love...I've been capturing weddings for a long time now and it still gives me the feels. I made a deal with myself, that when those feels stop, I'll bow out gracefully. That's not now...so suck it up, you're stuck with me for the foreseeable!

Genuinely...that connection to you, to your closest people, to your love and to your quirky loveliness is what I love the most and keeps my work full of natural personality, and joy. Keep it coming! 💕

If you're in the planning stages of your wedding and it all feels a bit daunting - welcome to the bonkers! BREATHE...it's completely normal! If photography is next on your long tick list of things to do, have a peek at how I do things and if you 'feel' like my couples do, then get in touch!

It might be beautifully frosty out there but I cannot wait for all the gorgeous light in the warmer months. It's pure magic when everything aligns and it makes every photographer just a bit giddy!
