"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers the little things, long after you have forgotten everything."
- Aaron Siskind
I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list!
I'll try to make this quick! I met Anthony just over 7 years ago on a dating website - plenty of fish, can you believe it - and he finally proposed last December (the cutest proposal story, I'll tell you sometime!) We recently moved in to our beautiful home in Darwen with our two dogs, Arnold and Mavis, who are absolute nutters but the good kind.
Before becoming a photographer, I spent 6 years studying Fashion Design and a further 3 years working in the Industry. Being a photographer wasn't ever in my future plans, I kind of just 'fell in to it' - a few short months later I photographed my very first wedding! Now I have been photographing fabulous weddings across the UK, Spain, Italy and Greece for the past 5 years.
I will be forever grateful for the opportunities that photography has brought in to my life. Being able to travel for my job and experience new parts of the world is just a gift I will never be able to repay. I have been so fortunate with my business so far and a huge part of that is down to the incredible people I get work with.
I have been photographing fabulous weddings now across the UK, Italy and Greece for the past 5 years. Being a wedding photographer wasn’t ever in my future plans, I kind of just ‘fell in to it.’ That was when my life changed, absolutely for the better, and I have never looked back.
Every wedding I am a part of I always get guests saying to me ‘well this is a good job isn’t it?’ which is a complete understatement. Being a wedding photographer means I get to spend my weekends having an absolute blast with awesome couples on one of their happiest days of their lives. It means I get to meet people I otherwise might never have met, from all kinds of religions and backgrounds. It means I get to travel to all kinds of beautiful places within the UK and Europe. It means I get to see parts of the world I wouldn’t of otherwise seen. I absolutely love being a wedding photographer, it fulfils me in ways I never thought any ‘job’ would.
My photography style is anything but traditional. I capture weddings in a very natural, unobtrusive, heartfelt way. There are two things I seek out the most on a wedding day; emotions and beauty. These are the two things that make my heart sing.
The type of couples I seek out are full of life, untraditional, spontaneous and absolutely adore each other. They want their wedding day to be totally unique; they don't follow the crowd, they definitely don't want a venue package with all the trimmings.
If this sounds anything like the day you are planning, come and say hey!

FAVOURITE THINGS
My vision is to create an authentic story of your wedding day, capturing moments as they happen, nothing staged.
It is so important to me that I collaborate with couples who trust me, as I am able to work so much more creatively on your wedding day. It's an incredible honour and responsibility photographing weddings, so I want to make sure I stay true to my style and vision.
I feel that I bring my background in fashion through in to my photography. For that reason I will give you gentle direction during your portraits to ensure I provide you with the most beautiful photographs. I have a particular eye for the finer details and symmetry is my best friend!
I love to travel with my work, so whether you're having a tipi wedding in a field 5 miles from my house, or an elopement on the calderra in Santorini, I would love to come along to document your day.
