The Moments Before “I Do”

There’s something special about groom prep and those final moments before the ceremony — that blend of laughs, nerves, last-minute tie fixes, and the kind of bond only lifelong friends can pull off. I love capturing these real, unposed moments, and they often end up being some of my favourite photos from the entire day.

Who Says You Need the Perfect Backdrop?

Give me a row of portaloos and I’ll still find the magic. Jokes aside, photography is about story, timing, and connection — not the background. These two absolutely nailed it during our amazing walk around Cirencester last month! Beautifully imperfect moments are what makes weddings unforgettable.

Swipe right to see a beautiful Cirencester background — I do photograph those as well 😊

Sian & Zach’s autumn Tewkesbury Park wedding

I had such a fantastic time with the wonderful Sian and Zach yesterday and I just couldn’t wait to share a few of my favourite moments.

To say we had a bit of rain would be an understatement, but Sian and Zach were happy to embrace it and we got some really lovely shots - if anything, I think it made them all the more special!

This was the second Tewkesbury Park wedding I’ve photographed this year and it’s such a great venue - beautiful views, fab outdoor space and a dedicated team of staff to help bring your big day to life.

This was a day filled with fun, love and laughter and I’m so glad Sian and Zach brought me along for the ride 🥂

Dogs at weddings - surely there’s nothing better?! 🐶

We have a running joke in our family that my cockapoo, Alfie, must be the most photographed dog in the world, so it’s no surprise how much I’m here for it when a couple includes their best friend in their special day!

Dogs are truly a part of the family, so it makes total sense why many couples choose to make them part of their celebrations - and genuinely nothing makes me happier!!

Here’s a little moment on the grid for just a few of the very good boys and girls I’ve captured at some recent weddings 🐾

A beautiful Cirencester wedding ☔️

I had such a brilliant time photographing Hannah and Alex’s special day over the weekend. I’m so glad they were brave enough to head out for some couple shots in what turned out to be absolutely torrential rain - we couldn’t have timed things better because the second we stepped out it started to pour! I always think a bit of rain on your wedding day makes for some really special shots (as well as bringing a bit of luck 😊) and I’m so happy with how these turned out.

It was a privilege to be part of Hannah and Alex’s wedding - from their beautiful ceremony at their church in Cirencester all the way through to the dance floor shots, this was a day filled with magic and fun 😊

Congratulations again and I hope you’re enjoying the first few days of married life 🥂

The dance floor shots! 🪩

It’s always a sign of a fun-filled day when evening comes around and everyone’s out on the dance floor long into the night… Emma and Sam certainly know how to throw a party 🎉

I love the giant disco ball at - so many great moments!

Bridal Prep at the stunning Danesfield House Hotel


There’s just something magical about bridal prep and I always love capturing it! There’s such a lovely mix of excitement, nerves, laughter, champagne toasts and maybe a few happy tears.

I love capturing those little behind-the-scenes moments — the final touches, the hugs, the music playing in the background, and all the energy in the room before everything begins.

Always such a fun way to start the day!

Rodborough Common – Engagement Shoot with Alex & Hannah

I had such a lovely evening with Alex & Hannah for their engagement shoot at Rodborough Common! These two are such a fab couple and the views over the Stroud valleys made the perfect backdrop (always one of my favourite spots 😊).

I’m so excited to capture their wedding in Cirencester next month – not long to go now! 🎉
