Who you’ll be spending your wedding day with…
When couples choose a wedding photographer, they’re usually focused on the photos - the style, the editing, and, of course, the moments captured.
But there’s something just as important (and often overlooked):
You’ll spend more time with your photographer on your wedding day than almost anyone else.
From the quiet moments while you’re getting ready, to nerves before the ceremony, to sneaking off for portraits, your photographer is right there through it all. Which means who they are matters just as much as how they shoot. If you don’t get good vibes… cut that OFF.
More than just someone with a camera
On your wedding day, I’m not just turning up to take photos and disappear.
I’m:
Calming nerves when things feel overwhelming
Gently guiding you when you’re not sure what to do with your hands, or what to do during couple portraits
Reading the room during emotional moments
Stepping in when needed…and disappearing when not
If you want to work with a documentary-style photographer, this becomes even more important. The best moments happen when you feel relaxed enough to be yourselves. Which is why, even during cocktail hour, I love to go around and chat to all your guests. Really getting to know them, and strategically getting them used to me being around!
Why personality matters on a wedding day
You can get so many different types of photographer; ones who shy away behind bushes, some that totally dominate the day & force moments that don’t feel… right. I like to think that i’m somewhere in between.
I am someone who:
Feels comfortable to be around
Knows when to give direction and when to step back
Can blend in with your guests without being intrusive
Keeps things moving without adding stress
Most couples tell me after their wedding that one of the biggest surprises was how reassuring it felt to have someone calm, organised, and familiar by their side. Which honestly is all I could want. I mean.. I don’t want to feel awkward on your day either!
A little about me
I am currently based within South Wales, In the UK, but actually moving across to Australia in September this year (2026). I’m drawn to real moments, genuine emotion, and the in-between parts of the day that often end up meaning the most. BUT, I also love a stunning editorial style portrait.. and if you’re wanting. a gorgeous photo with your best friends, you best believe, i’m going to pose you SO GOOD.
I’ll guide you when it helps - especially during couple portraits - but for the rest of the day I really do focus on letting things unfold naturally. No forced smiles. No awkward posing. Just you, as you are.
By the time your wedding day arrives, my goal is for you to feel like you already know me. So when I turn up with a camera, it doesn’t feel like a stranger walking into one of the most important days of your life. One of the many reasons I love to have engagement sessions with my couples, ahead of the big day!
Choosing a photographer you trust
If you’re currently looking for a wedding photographer, my advice is simple:
Look at the photos - but also ask yourself how the photographer feels. Have a chat with them, in person, or over the phone.
Can you imagine spending your morning (and whole day) with them?
Are they going to be bringing the vibes you want on your wedding day?
Would you feel comfortable around them when emotions are high?
Do they sound like someone you’d actually want there?
These things show up in your photos more than you might expect.
