Alternative wedding photographer for couples who break the rules

Arriving in a sidecar. Ending the night on a bouncy castle with an inflatable dinosaur. If your wedding’s a bit different, you’re in the right place.

Your wedding should look like you, not a magazine

I started out photographing music gigs and burlesque shows, and my first wedding came from that world: a couple whose photographer cancelled three weeks before the big day. Fourteen years later, I still love the weddings that throw out the rule book.

My one piece of advice? If something doesn’t make you happy, Marie Kondo it. Don’t keep it because a relative thinks you should or because the wedding industry told you to. Want to ride a rodeo bull? Go barefoot in the grass? Do it. I’ll be there with my camera.

The weddings I love most

I ✦

Festival weddings.

Tipis, food trucks, hay bales and a horse-trailer bar. I’ll be in the middle of it all, probably with a vegan iced coffee.

II ✦

Woodland and outdoor weddings.

Dappled light, celebrant ceremonies under the trees, fairy lights in jars.

Real example: Tess & Tommy at Evenley Wood Garden →

III ✦

Gothic and dark romantic weddings.

Velvet, candles, black florals. My gothic shoot at the National Justice Museum in Nottingham was picked up by Hello magazine.

IV ✦

DIY and handmade weddings.

Grandma’s flowers, homemade bunting, a surfboard guestbook. The personal stuff is what I love photographing most.

V ✦

Rock and roll weddings.

Classic rock on the playlist and I might just join you on the dancefloor.

“You have made me, a quite reserved, self-conscious person who lacks hugely in confidence with their appearance feel good about themselves. I have hand on heart NEVER felt that way before. The thought of a camera being on me all day terrified me. But I know now I was in safe hands.”
