What makes your wedding photography different?

My work is about real emotion, movement and colour — nothing staged or awkward. I photograph weddings the way they feel: honest, cinematic and full of energy. No endless posing, just the good stuff — laughter, chaos, and everything in between.


Do you photograph weddings across Sussex, Kent and London?

Yes. Most of my weddings are across the South East — from Brighton and Rye to Kent barns and London rooftops. I love mixing rural, coastal and city weddings — every location brings its own rhythm and light.

How would you describe your photography style?

Documentary meets editorial. It’s candid storytelling with an artistic edge — the kind of images that feel alive, not curated. You’ll get a mix of moments, portraits and atmosphere that tell your story with colour and depth.

Can you photograph smaller weddings or elopements?

Absolutely. Some of my favourite weddings have been just a handful of people. Whether it’s a London registry office, a coastal elopement or a back-garden party, I approach every celebration with the same care and attention to detail.

Do you travel for weddings outside the South East?

Yes. I regularly shoot across the UK and for destination weddings abroad. Travel and accommodation are straightforward to arrange, and I’ll make sure it all feels effortless from start to finish.

What’s the booking process like?

It’s simple — fill in the contact form, we’ll chat about your plans, and once the deposit’s paid your date’s locked in. You’ll get a pre-wedding call, timeline help and tips for keeping things relaxed and unposed on the day.

How far in advance should we book you?

Most couples book 12–18 months ahead, but some dates go earlier. If you love my work, it’s worth reaching out soon — I limit the number of weddings each year to keep every one personal.

Do you offer engagement or couple shoots?

Yes. Couple sessions are a brilliant way to get comfortable in front of the camera — especially if you’re visiting from overseas or planning a destination wedding. Rye, Brighton seafront and the Sussex Downs are some of my favourite backdrops.
