Wedding photography for couples who just want to be themselves

Group photos will not be an endurance sport, I pro Group photos will not be an endurance sport, I promise. We will do them quickly, calmly with a little bit of shouting! I will be friendly but assertive - much like my fitness class participants are use to! You will be away from your drink for the shortest time possible - or maybe just bring a glass along to raise a toast during the photos! Then you’re back to hugs, chaos and probably forgetting I exist again (in the nicest possible way so I can get those proper heartfelt candids).
“Affordable” is subjective. As suppliers we see t “Affordable” is subjective. As suppliers we see these words banded about a lot, and sometimes they feel like an attack, or icky... but affordable to me isn't affordable to someone else, but the things I value may also feel like "budget or cheap" to someone else - and there's NO shade or shame in that. What feels worth the money to one couple might not be a priority for someone else, and that doesn’t make either choice wrong. Budgets aren’t a judgement, they’re just a reflection of what you value most. Calling a supplier “too expensive” usually just means this isn’t where we want to spend our money... and that’s OK! The goal isn’t always to find the cheapest options. It’s to spend intentionally, on the things that matter to you. Maybe that's amazing florals (but you should totally get them documented) maybe it's your dream outfit, or that bespoke-tailored suit... or THE best catering for my foodies out there.
🖤 Guess what… Your wedding photos don’t come fro 🖤 Guess what... Your wedding photos don’t come from forcing moments. 🖤 🪩 They come from you actually enjoying yourself. 🥂 When you are present, laughing, chatting, dancing, hugging your friends... that’s when the magic happens. Not when you're worrying about where you're supposed to stand or whether you're “doing it right”, or if everyone is fed or that the cake is in the right place. 🖤 You don’t need to perform. 🖤 You just need to be present. 🖤 Everything else flows from that.

Let me tell you a secret… that some people might Let me tell you a secret... that some people might find offensive... You can do whatever the F**k you want on your wedding day. 🫶🏻 It can be as big or small as YOU want. 🥂 It can be wherever YOU want to celebrate. ✨ You can wear whatever YOU want. 🍔 You can have whatever food YOU want. Your day, your rules (and probably your money too 🤣).
Do we need to have lots of group photos…Short an Do we need to have lots of group photos...Short answer? Nope! A handful of meaningful group photos is often plenty, I try to stick to a maximum of 12. The rest of the time is better spent actually being with your guests, having conversations and enjoying the day you’ve planned. A calm, realistic plan keeps things moving without turning your wedding into a checklist. However.. I will have a checklist! Before your day I'll send you an in-depth questionnaire to make sure any group photos are covered and I can get them done as quickly and painlessly as possible, while ensuring the important people are photographed... so you can enjoy with your day and enjoy your time with your friends and family.
Ask. For. Help Planning a wedding is a lot, espec Ask. For. Help Planning a wedding is a lot, especially if you’re doing it alongside juggling a normal life. Delegating doesn’t mean losing control. It means protecting your energy. Small tasks passed on can free up a surprising amount of headspace. Whether it’s friends, family or professionals, letting others support you often makes the whole experience more enjoyable. You don’t have to carry it all yourselves. You can even ask your hired pros for help! We love sharing our favourite tips, tricks and fellow suppliers if you need - just ask!
🍓 Eat. Something. Please. 🥐 I say this with love 🍓 Eat. Something. Please. 🥐 I say this with love and experience. (As someone who is RUBBISH at remembering to hydrate and fuel up). Wedding days run on adrenaline, nerves and excitement. They run much better with food involved. Even something small helps. Especially if you’re someone who forgets to eat when you’re nervous (hello, most people - I’m absolutely guilty of this!!). Future you will be very grateful you did not attempt to survive on vibes alone.
