I’m SO happy to finally be sharing this beauty of a wedding!  On a chilly Autumnal day, it’s bringing back a welcome flashback to summer days with Ana & David’s amazing day at The Clock Barn in Hampshire. When I met David & Ana to chat about the plans for their day, I just knew it was going to be pretty special!  They both have such a good eye and had chosen a beautiful venue,  The Clock Barn which is a stunning country venue located in rural Hampshire, with really pretty grounds.  The location is wonderfully idyllic and with a perfect backdrop at every turn, it really is a Photograph ..read more

I met Zoe a few months ago at a ‘Building your Personal Brand’ workshop.  I’d gone with the intention of just picking up a bit of information about how people would go about building their own ‘brand’ and potentially how photography would fit in with this, but, proof that networking really does work when you are in the right circles, I got chatting to Zoe!  We started talking about each of our businesses and she mentioned that she was currently having a new logo designed and could really do with some updated photos for her website and social media.  I think the Universe was on our side that d ..read more

Toby contacted me last year to arrange their Engagement shoot, and explained that Kristie was living in the States but he was still living in the UK and they were due to get married this year in America.  Kristie was visiting the UK in November and as part of her trip they would be staying down in Dorset at one of their favourite spots near Durdle Door, which was one of the first places Toby ever took Kristie.  This area of the Dorset coastline is so beautiful, it was really cold and very windy day, but stunning!  I loved it there so much, I went back the following weekend with my family!

I love hearing how couple’s first met and their proposal stories, so I’ll start with this…. Caroline & Mike’s story began when Caroline’s friend Emma (one of the Bridesmaids) , who was already friends with Mike, introduced them.  (I guess we now have Emma to thank for the next bit… ). Mike proposed when they were staying at an old converted lighthouse B & B in Wales. ‘He had timed it very romantically up on the roof next to a hot tub with Prosecco and the sunset, but was a complete shock to me and I nearly fainted!  Good job he’s ambulance crew!’ Caroline & Mike’s Wedding was one o ..read more

I’m so excited to share this shoot with you, the second in my Personal Brand Photography Portfolio building Sessions. Can you remember the day you first met your good friends?  I always can!  I first met Nikita at Baby Ballet, when both of our little girls were in the same class, and we bonded over coffee and our mutual love for homes & interiors!  I remember she was pregnant with her little boy Dexter at the time (who actually features in a couple of photos in the shoot, he’s super cute and cheeky!) and over the past few years I’ve really loved getting to know Nikita, a kindred spirit! S ..read more

Hey everyone!  Thanks so much for checking out this blog post.  It’s been a little while since I’ve updated you with what I’ve been up to, I promise I’ll get better at the blogging side of things!  As you all know, I am a Lifestyle Photographer, specialising in Weddings & families, but I had a recent epiphany… I gave it a lot of thought and got very excited about it when I thought about all the awesome people in business I know (and haven’t met yet!) that I could potentially help. I love shooting Lifestyle Photography.  For me, it’s the reason I take photos, I want to capture life as it h ..read more
