WHEN SHOULD YOU BEGIN?
One or two years before your big day is perfect, but if you plan on doing things a little spontaneous then that’s epic.
So, you’ve found me. If you’ve heard from a friend or relative, or maybe even scouted online for a wedding photographer and fell in love with what I create. It’s time to secure your wedding date. We have limited availability, so we strongly recommend getting booked in as soon as you’re ready to rock! Once you’re in, you can relax and know that you will be looked after from here.
I’ve 3 uniquely crafted wedding collections to choose from which are fully customizable to suit your wants & needs. You can upgrade your collection three months before your wedding.

YOUR PRE-WEDDING PHOTOSHOOT
If it’s about creating some beautiful moments before the big day, you can opt-in for a pre-wedding photoshoot. This is highly popular & my couples dig the much-needed alone time in stunning nature to have photographs of their unique love and laughter. It’s also great practice and if you’re camera-shy, this is perfect for you!
P.S – We’ll get to know each other better, so when it comes to your big day we will be the best of friends. You get used to being in front of the camera and we’ll capture some beautiful images so you can share, put onto your wedding website or decorate your home with your romantic moments it’s all a win-win.
Do you have a location that hits home to you both? Let’s go and create something epic!
If you are feeling shy and hate getting your picture taken, I’ve a fun warm-up to get you out of your comfort zone. I promise when you look back on your photos you will forget you were even camera shy in the first place…

When will my photos be ready?
I like to give my heart & soul to every wedding I photograph and edit. After your wedding day, I’ll send a random selection of images, edited for you to view and share.
Expect around 4-6 weeks for your gallery to be complete and sent.
Do you think I need a wedding album?
You don’t have to, and it mostly boils down to personal preference. I’m passionate about holding a hardcover book in my hands, the new smell is contagious, and the fine page spread of which the images are masonry designed for the best effect.
A wedding album isn’t only about a memoir to us, it’s the magical storybook that will be passed down to your kids and grandkids for generations.
