IT’S YOUR STORY

and its my job to help you tell it.

I’m not here to stage your day or centre myself.

I'm here to capture the chaos, the connection and everything in between.

Your wedding day is about you, not my Instagram. You should be enjoying every minute, not spending hours posing for photographs. I'm there to document the big moments, the little details and all the things you didn't even realise were happening.

My approach is laid-back and documentary, with an editorial eye shaped by my background in fashion photography. I'll step in when needed, blend into the background when I'm not, and make sure you have incredible photographs without missing out on your own wedding.

As a queer photographer, creating a space where every couple feels comfortable, respected and celebrated isn't an extra. It's part of everything I do.

Proudly queer. Straight friendly.

Curious what that means? Take a look at my values and approach.

You’re engaged, and that's Exciting!

Whether you're planning an intimate ceremony, a huge celebration or something completely unconventional, I'm here for it. Your wedding, your rules.

I'm a Newcastle-based wedding photographer, travelling across the North East, the UK and beyond for couples who want to do things their own way.

If you're looking for someone who'll embrace your ideas, capture the atmosphere and bring a creative eye to your day, I think we'll get along just fine.

WHY CHOOSE ME?

Your Inclusive Wedding Photographer From Up-North

I don't see wedding photography in the traditional sense. To me, it's a celebration of personality, connection and everything that makes your relationship yours.

With a background in fashion and editorial photography, I bring a creative eye to every wedding. I want to create photographs that are visually striking, but never just for the sake of looking good on Pinterest. The best images don't just look incredible. They mean something.

As a queer photographer, LGBTQ+ weddings are personal to me. I believe queer marriage is a form of activism. It's a declaration of love and visibility in spaces where, for too long, we were told we didn't belong. I don't just aim to be "queer-friendly". I want to show up proudly and intentionally for people like me, creating spaces where our love and identities are celebrated without compromise.

Your wedding doesn't need to look like anyone else's. And neither should your photographs.
