From a young age I have forever been capturing my own families special moments. It means so much to also share similar special life moments with my clients and documenting them in my own signature style, really is something I feel very lucky to be able to do for a living.

I see myself more as a documentary photographer taking photos in a natural, relaxed and informal style, I aim blend in like a part of the family, while I work. I think it’s worth making this distinction because I don’t have any preconceived ideas about what your shoot should look like ahead of time. Everyone is different because every person is different and your photos should reflect you. All I do is frame that with my signature style. I aim to document occasions and portraits with beautiful spontaneous images in both black and white, colour and a contemporary mix of both. I aim to capture each event in as true form as possible. I therefore use natural light creating images with character and a soft candid twist. I’m always looking for the smaller moments that go un-noticed because they always seem to encapsulate something so much bigger. As well as weddings I capture many maternity bumps, newborn babies, little posers, family portraits, celebrations and all kinds of studio or location shoots that involved peoples special occasions and milestones. I also work with a number of commercial clients; restaurants, fashion, artists, sculptors, engineers and designers, whom commission me to shoot and retouch their work on a regular basis.
