Specialist Lifestyle Photography & Videography, capturing treasures for you and your loved ones :)
(24)
I had such a fun afternoon with Marie and Lisa at Forrest Optical Styling Studio in Ledbury a couple of months ago, whilst shooting their new branding video! There were laughs aplenty amongst the GORGEOUS eyewear in the studio. It's definitely worth a pop in if you're in the area and need some new glasses to suit your own personal style...
I can’t believe it was 10 years ago that I had been in Crete, photographing Carrie & Karl’s stunning wedding by the beach… where does time go??!
Here they are now, not looking any different from then, with their gorgeous kiddies ☺️ It’s always so lovely seeing you guys, and capturing more moments for you to treasure!
We had such a lovely day photographing the wonderful Emmy & Henry on Saturday ♥️ I was obsessed with Emmy’s dress (almost as much as the horse was with her bouquet 😂)! Thank you for having us capture your day guys, it’s going to be a very lovely edit! ###
Hatty and I had a wonderful time shooting the new Mr & Mrs Howells in Worcestershire on Saturday! So much joy, laughter and love surrounds this couple ♥️ Huge congratulations you two!!
⭐️ I’m super excited to make a little announcement ⭐️
After shooting 200 weddings largely solo, I’ve decided to enlist this lovely lady, my very talented friend Hatty, to work alongside me at future UK weddings starting from now! This means that when you book me, you’ll now be getting TWO photographers at your wedding… why? Because…
• it’s extra security - if one of us becomes really poorly, or held up in a traffic jam etc, there is another photographer already booked for your day and ready to go 💪🏻
• you get more footage during the morning preps - one photographer each 🤩
• more crowd control during groups and an extra set of eyes to check all is well 👌🏻
• two different scenes or groups of people can be photographed at the same time 😁
• you’ll get more footage, more moments captured, and often from two different view points 🙌🏻
I will still be doing all the admin and editing as usual, but I’m so excited to have a buddy with me during wedding days to be my extra pair of eyes and ears ♥️
Hatty and I have worked together for years now, so I know I can fully trust her - she’s talented, friendly and can be super cheeky 😆 I just adore her, and think you will too!
If you have any questions or are interested to have us come and shoot your special day, please get in touch at [email protected], or pop me a message on here!
We’re shooting a wedding together this weekend, and can’t wait!
Last night I was asked to photograph the incredible Jay from Breathe. Balance. Be who is partnering with YOFI Paddlesports at Ye Old Ferrie Inn to offer SUP Yoga classes! Jay is my yoga instructor (on sturdy ground 😅), so I can already rave about her, but to see her teach on the water was a whole new level of ‘wow’! If you’re local to, or holidaying near Symonds Yat, check them out for more info coming soon 🤩
On Saturday, I had the honour of being the photographer for this wonderful couple, who were married near Ludlow in Shropshire 🥰
Huge congratulations once again Mr & Mrs Davies!!
I just had some wonderful photos sent to me 🤩 10 years ago I was in Florence, shooting my very first international wedding… this week, the couple went back and took their little boy to celebrate! They swanned around the city all dressed up, including THE dress, trying to find the spots we went to for their photos to recreate them! Here are my photos alongside their retakes - I just love this so much 😍🙌🏻 A massive happy anniversary guys 🥹 I will ALWAYS remember your awesome day!!
…I’m still shooting international weddings by the way… 😉✈️
I love shooting close up in nature, but my gosh these ants just. don’t. stop. working!! Trying to get this guy in focus with such a shallow depth of field almost got me sweaty (in this balmy 12°C June we’re having… 👀😂). I was very pleased with an ant silhouette in the end 😅
I was asked to photograph the new photos for Whitecross Hereford High School’s website and marketing a few months ago, and am so excited to see it all in action after the website was made live today 😁 I’d never done a job like it, walking all over the school, interrupting lessons, interacting with staff and pupils to get the shots needed. It was so much fun, so diverse and a total joy to see so many young people thriving at this school 💪🏻 to see more, head to: https://www.whitecross.hereford.sch.uk

The curvey walls and the ‘wiggly paths that go everywhere’ (as my daughter called them!) behind the Lyme Regis Museum is one of my favourite spots in the town. I popped the drone up to see how the naughty seagulls might see it all on a very harshly lit sunny day…

How sweet is little Emmi?! I had the absolute pleasure of photographing her on Saturday ♥️ I’ve seen this family grow since their eldest was a newborn, and now they’re a lovely family of 5! It’s been so so special, roll on capturing many more memories for you all 🥰
I loved meeting Mel and Sam today in Shropshire, to have a look around where they will be getting married soon 🥰 it’s going to be so lovely! Roll on many more photos…!
It was such a pleasure to photograph these friends on Saturday - they’ve known each other for 44 years, and have been enjoying a lovely break here in the Monmouthshire/Herefordshire countryside, catching up and (from what I could tell on Saturday…) laughing, a LOT! Thank you for having me over to capture some of those laughs. I hope you’re having a fantastic time 🥂☺️

I’ve always admired the attention to detail in the interior of The Priory Salon in Malvern, and these little labels I spotted during my most recent shoot there were the cherry on top 😂
Ladies at the salon… you may want to check your inbox later today 😉 xx
I love spending time with these lovely ladies at The Priory Salon in Malvern when updating their branding photos - it’s always such a giggle 😂 Thanks for having me back ☺️
The video will be ready shortly…
Some sneaky peeks from the very lovely Helena & Brandon’s intimate wedding at Shire Hall Monmouth on Saturday, followed by photos in Skenfrith and food at The Bell at Skenfrith Hotel ♥️ Huge congratulations once again, it was such an honour to capture these (and many more…!) for you guys xx
All of my galleries from The Real Flower Petal Confetti Co shoots are complete and sent off to everyone 💐☺️ After my last shoot there last week, I had arranged to meet up with my lovely friend by Emma Jane to have a catch up - we walked around and actually had some time to study the beautiful flowers that create the backdrop to your photos. Isn’t nature amazing?!
Loved being back in the The Real Flower Petal Confetti Company's Flower Field yesterday morning, catching up with these lovely faces 🥰 Considering the weather which was either torrential rain or high levels of humidity and heat, I think you all absolutely smashed it, especially the little ones - total superstars 🤩 Your galleries will be ready very soon! ###
I adore seeing this wonderful family grow! It was such an honour to be with them again, capturing the adorable, big blue-eyed Thea for her Christening ♥️
After all the rain and storms of last week, the sun absolutely SHONE for these two ☀️🤩 it was such a pleasure, and a huuuge laugh to shoot. Ending with the most impressive firework display I’ve witnessed at a wedding - just WOW! Laura and Joe, you were incredible from start to finish. I hope you’re enjoying some well deserved time to relax now ♥️ massive congratulations once again ###
I had a beautiful evening at Bennetts Willow Barn in Worcester last month, capturing some memories for Kim and James who were married earlier in the month ♥️ They asked me to capture their relaxed evening party once back home from their honeymoon. There were games, a hog roast, and entertainment from the mind baffling Patrick Aitchison Magician (🤯) and music by one of my fave musicians who I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside many times, Dan Greenaway 🎶 Congratulations again Kim and James!
Tori & Al ♥️
The first wedding I’ve photographed this year, and what a welcome it was! They were married in an outdoor ceremony in the beautiful grounds of The Fonthill Estate near Salisbury, and moved over to another barn on the estate to party away into the night 💃🏻 🪩🕺🏼It was all so beautiful, especially when the rain blew away, the sun literally exploded out from behind the clouds creating a huge cheer from everyone at the wedding… 🤩👌🏻
Good morning Monmouth, happy Good Friday ☺️ (For any sale enquiries, just pop me a message)
I've had a bit of a break from my business social media accounts just recently, but have still been working lots behind the scenes 😉 I'm coming back with some sneak peeks from an engagement shoot I had the total pleasure of doing at the weekend - meet Krystal & Bobby ♥️ I'm shooting their wedding in April and believe me, your eyeballs are in for a TREAT...!!
Yesterday was spent paddling in a river, exploring a castle, and playing on the beach with this gorgeous family for their photo session 🥰
I also had my youngest ever assistant to date…my little boy! The mummy of this family is actually his teaching assistant in school, who he loves to bits ♥️ turns out he and her little girl now love each other too… 😂 too cute!
On a scorchio day back in the summer, I had the honour of meeting this beautiful Welsh Cob, Woody (a multi-award winning one at that 🤩🥇) and his very lovely owner in the Monmouthshire countryside. Woody’s best buddy was a little confused, and definitely didn’t like me and my camera, but I couldn’t leave without grabbing a sneaky snap of him too 🐑♥️😆

Oh these guys!! Seriously, how cute is this family?! ♥️
I had a great time capturing this video (and lots of photos!) for Bike Friendly Monmouth & Honeysuckle Wood Bicycles & Retro Homeware's vintage bikeride today. It was a fantastic event that was sponsored by ACE Monmouth, promoting the joy of pedal power and "encouraging Monmouth to become a healthier and greener town by embracing every opportunity for cycling", whether on pedal bikes, e-bikes or kick bikes! I hope you enjoy this taster of the day... 🚲🌱💪
(🔈Play with the sound on!) I've LOVED creating this branding video for Bee at Subversive Threads to go along with the photos I took for her. I just adore her creative space - I literally can't go in there without buying something 🤩 If any other businesses out there fancy an affordable and fun little video to help promote your work, please get in touch. I'd love to help you!!
