Beyond excited and honoured to share my latest feature with - a maximalist take on Old Hollywood glamour.

This shoot was such a labour of love to dream up and bring to life: bold colour and pattern, decadent interiors, a little rock-and-roll, a lot of fashion, and that unmistakable old Hollywood charm - all set inside the iconic Lafayette Hotel in San Diego, California.

From the sculptural Kim Kassas gown from Jaxon James Couture + vintage-inspired Juliet cap veil, to the effortlessly cool groom styling, Gucci and Prada heels, and the richly saturated interiors, the vision was all about leaning into maximalism and Old Hollywood glamour while forgoing traditional bridal conventions for something bolder, cooler and more fashion-forward.

Seeing a concept I co-created and photographed now living on the pages of Anti-Bride feels incredibly special 🖤

Forever grateful to the wildly talented team who helped us make this one happen - and to The Anti-Bride for seeing the magic in it:

Forever in awe of this incredible editorial at The Sea Ranch Lodge. Sculptural silhouettes, layers of texture and crochet, wispy florals, coastal grasses, the Pacific Ocean crashing against the rocky Northern California coastline, and an insane custom-made gown with sculptural, wave-like pleating that was truly a piece of art. Add in the most beautiful California sunset and what more could a gal ask for?! ☀️

Just a taste of what’s to come, because how does one possibly choose only 20 slides from a day like this.

I’m so honoured to share that one of my weddings has been featured in Wed Vibes 🤍

Marissa & Bailey’s unforgettable Tuscany celebration was recently published, showcasing a weekend that perfectly balanced timeless European elegance with a playful 80s-inspired twist. Set at a breathtaking 17th-century estate in the Tuscan countryside, every detail felt incredibly intentional - from the oversized blue bows and sculptural florals to candlelit dinners, film-inspired portraits, and a joyfully chaotic dance floor where the ch*****ne flowed, a live saxophonist kept the energy high, and ci******es made their rounds.

A huge thank you to Marissa & Bailey for trusting me to document such an incredible weekend, and to the talented creative team who brought this vision to life. Being able to see my work featured alongside such inspiring celebrations is something I’ll never take for granted!

Swipe to see how the same moments look on digital vs. film

Film has a way of rendering light that simply can’t be fully replicated. You can spend years refining digital edits to emulate its tones, grain, and colour palette (trust me, I have tried), but there are characteristics unique to the medium itself - how it handles highlights, bloom, contrast, and even imperfections - that no preset or editing technique can truly recreate. Sometimes those differences are obvious, and sometimes they’re subtle, but side by side, they’re always there.

That’s exactly why I love offering film alongside digital. Digital gives me speed, flexibility, and precision, while film brings a quality that’s difficult to put into words but instantly recognizable once you’ve seen it. It’s not about one being better than the other - it’s about using each medium for what it does best to create a gallery with even more depth, character, and feeling 🤍🎞️
