This is me
About Me
I was born in the 8O's in South Wales then moved to the Midlands. I went to Drama School in London and lived there for many years as an actor. I had a successful career spanning over a decade in shows all over the UK and abroad.
In between theatre work, I found a new passion for photography and started shooting actors headshots. It was great training and taught me that the camera never lies. If you are uncomfortable, the camera will see it, so it became important to put my clients at ease quickly.
Fast forward a few years and I'm now based in the picturesque market town of Wantage in Oxfordshire. I have moved from headshots to weddings and my partner and I now have a gorgeous daughter Edie, who is teaching me Judo.
I love being outside and there is nothing better than the 3 of us getting in our campervan and going away for a long weekend to a campsite with a playpark and a bar.
But my favourite thing to do is play with my daughter Edie. She has the most incredible imagination and sense of humour. She comes up with games and you have absolutely no choice but to go along with her.

MY
Approach
Keep it simple
Nobody wants to be stressed on anybodies wedding day let alone their own, so I want to make it as easy as possible. From our first emails to our consultation and then on to the big day, I will be there to help and guide you.
I recognise, it's your day and you don't want to spend all of it with me posing you in weird positions, waiting for the perfect light. You want to be with your guests, having fun.
MY AIM
Capturing your love story
Each wedding is unique in the who and the when and the how. But every wedding is filled with stories and emotions and best of all happiness and love.
I have seen reunions between friends that haven't seen each other for 60 years. I have seen best man speeches that have divided the room and a vicar do an impromptu ukulele performance.
I want to capture all of it and knit them together to make a bigger picture. A picture with love at its heart, interwoven with those intimate moments that you will cherish forever.
Camera equipment
Over the years I have collected loads of gear. It's a bit of an addiction now to be honest. I have collected over 4O cameras but there's only 3 that I use at weddings.
Cameras -
Nikon Z6 II
Nikon D75O
Polaroid 645CL
With regards to lenses I have tonnes. From brand new primes, to vintage and even a few really obscure 196O's Russian lenses that do weird things.
The main ones though are -
Lenses -
Nikon 24-7Omm
Sigma 35mm
Nikon 7O-3OOmm
Nikon 85mm
Tokina 1O5mm
