My life experience has shaped the way I show up to document for others with a reverence for what’s real and what could become a treasured photograph in your future. I feel the pace of the day and lean into it. I’ve been the bride, the excited bridesmaid, the life long friend and now my daughters are older, I relate to my couples parents too. Don’t be surprised to see me wipe away a quiet tear – I feel it.

My eyes and ears will be open all day, seeking that magic. I’ll gravitate to the noisy table, the one with your raucous friends. I’ll hang out by the bar to catch your guests doing shots and you bet I’ll be watching the kids at your wedding stealing sweets, pulling faces and being the first on the dance floor.

Whether you’re planning a huge celebration at Blake Hall, a romantic vineyard wedding at Tuffon Hall, a relaxed farm shindig at The Barns at Lodge Farm or a church and back garden wedding, every wedding has its own unique atmosphere. You might even be dreaming up a bespoke marquee or tipi celebration in your back garden, surrounded by family and friends. Over the years I’ve photographed all kinds of weddings across Essex, and the thing they all share is that they feel completely authentic to the couple at the centre of it all.
