Wedding photography for couples who just want to be themselves

Just delivered this gorgeous gallery, and I’m defi Just delivered this gorgeous gallery, and I’m definitely having a moment with black and white photos right now - timeless, classic vibes 🫶🏻
Your wedding outfit isn’t just about how it looks. Your wedding outfit isn’t just about how it looks. It’s about how it feels to wear it, and how that feeling shows up in your photos. This also incudes the type of outfit choice... wear the suit, don’t wear the suit, wear the dress... or a jumpsuit... or a sequin kaftan... or whatever the hell you want . The more you, the more extra the better if thats YOUR vibe. When you feel like yourself, relaxed and confident, it comes through without you trying. You move more naturally, you have that extra sassy strut in your step... you stop overthinking, and you’re actually present in what’s happening around you. No worrying if you look “right”. That’s when photos start to feel real and full of life. Not polished for the sake of it, but joyful, very YOU! Feeling good in what you’re wearing isn’t a nice extra. It’s the thing that makes everything else fall into place.
If you’re worried something will go wrong… in all If you’re worried something will go wrong… in all honesty it probably will… however your friends, family and suppliers will figure it out! A button might pop. Someone will forget something minor. The timeline will drift (it always does and that’s something I’ll work with!). A speech will go off-script. And, do you know what usually happens? You laugh. Everyone laughs. It becomes a story you’ll tell for years. The weddings people talk about forever are the ones that felt alive, where joyful, silly memories are created.
❌ POLITE CONFETTI THROWS ARE BANNED ❌ 🍟 We are no ❌ POLITE CONFETTI THROWS ARE BANNED ❌ 🍟 We are not seasoning chips. 🎉 We are creating chaotic, colourful joy. 🙌🏻 Big handfuls. 🙌🏻 BOTH hands… FULL (pop the phone away, I’ve got this) 🙌🏻 Thrown high. 📣 At full joyful, celebratory volume. Your guests should be launching handfuls of this celebratory joy at you like they’re defending the vows and welcoming you as newlyweds into your next chapter. Walk slow. Laugh like idiots. Let your friends absolutely pelt you. That’s the moment, embrace the madness - even if you and up with some in your mouth 🤣. And yes, good confetti makes a difference. My personal fave is @flutterdarlings - big, beautiful paper circles and hearts in every possible colour, they float, flutter, fly and hold in the air just long enough for THAT photo 📸 P.S. MORE is MORE here 😉
You don’t need to plan your wedding like it’s a co You don’t need to plan your wedding like it’s a corporate project with endless spreadsheets and a countdown timer hanging over you - unless you’re a spreadsheet person that’s OK we can still be friends 🤣 Some people genuinely love that level of detail, and if that’s you, amazing. But if it already feels overwhelming, it’s usually because everything’s been made to feel urgent and essential, when actually, it isn’t. The calmest wedding days I see are built around a few clear priorities and a lot of trust. Trust in each other, trust in the decisions you’ve made, and trust in the people you’ve chosen to be part of the day. When that’s in place, everything else feels lighter. That ease doesn’t just happen. It comes from experience quietly keeping things on track so you don’t have to.
Hire suppliers who hype you up but also know when Hire suppliers who hype you up but also know when to step in, step out and bring a sense of order to the day... on the day itself, plans will shift. Timings change, the weather does its thing, people run late. None of that is a problem unless the people around you don’t know how to handle it. What you really want are people who stay calm, adapt quietly, and don’t make those changes your problem. Experience isn’t about control or ego, it’s about knowledge and the fact that we give a shit! Experience is about knowing when to step in, when to step back, and how to keep things feeling steady so you can stay present and enjoy what’s actually happening. The only thing you need to do on the day is get married! Let your friends/family and your suppliers handle the rest.
Here’s something that makes wedding planning feel Here’s something that makes wedding planning feel a whole lot less stressful once it clicks. Not everything needs the same slice of the budget. Every wedding has a few bits that really shape how the day feels and how you’ll remember it. Those are usually the places where spending a bit more feels worth it to you. Everything else? That’s often where saving actually feels fine, not like you’re missing out. For some people, it’s photography. For others, it’s food, outfits, music, or keeping the guest list smaller so the whole day feels more relaxed. There’s no universal priority list... just what matters most to you. Things can get messy when people try to split their budget evenly across everything, instead of backing the bits they actually care about. That’s when planning starts to feel tight, overwhelming, and like nothing quite fits. There isn’t a “right” way to divide your budget. There’s just the way that supports the kind of day you want to have. Once you’re clear on that, decisions get easier and the second-guessing quietens right down. 💛
I don’t do a lot of styled shoots, why? Because I’ I don’t do a lot of styled shoots, why? Because I’m basically too lazy to organise them 😅 fills me with DREAD. Realistically I should, but here we are … one day I’ll sort myself out and plan the Mary Shelley gothic romance shoot of dreams… until then, I’m very lucky that I get invited to work with some incredible businesses! So here’s a throwback to a shoot from 2025, which I bloody love. I’m so proud of how these turned out - Espcially the magazine promo image for @theweddingindex @thebridalhall @victoryweddings_southcoast @thecherishedcake @nannysamscakes @trulamarieslittlecakecompany @jlspecialoccasion @indie_bum @leilahall31 @sparklesbycharlie18
