Fourteen years. Seven hundred weddings. And the thing that still gets me out of bed is a message from a couple saying the photos made them fall in love all over again.

Not a trophy. Not a feature. A text from someone saying they can't stop looking at their gallery.

That's the job. That's always been the job.

I got into this completely self-taught, no formal training, no degree, just an obsession with getting it right and the stubbornness to keep going until I did. Fourteen years later I'm capping at 25 weddings a year by choice, because that's the number where I can actually care about every single one.

Not process them.
Care about them.

The way I shoot is 80% invisible and 20% something else entirely. Most of the day I'm just in it with you, with your bridesmaids, your dad, whoever's doing something brilliant in the corner that nobody else has noticed. The real stuff happens when nobody's performing, so my job is to be the last person anyone's thinking about.

Then there's the other 20%. One or two frames per wedding that couldn't have existed without me specifically being there, seeing what I saw, and deciding to make something out of it. Not posed. Built.

Everything is true-to-colour. No trends, no filters, nothing that'll look dated in five years. Photos that look like your wedding actually looked just on its absolute best day.

But honestly? The technical stuff is secondary. What I'm really trying to do is give you something you can feel. Not just nice photos. Photos that take you straight back to the room, the moment, the person standing next to you. Photos that make you relive it.
If that's what you're looking for, we'll probably get on just fine.
