Documentary Photographer. Pleased to meet you! Welcome to Silverbird Photography, where I specialise in fun, natural Wedding and Lifestyle photography

Group photos. Let's talk about them.

You want photos with all your favourite people. You just don't want them to take over your afternoon.

I keep them short, relaxed and done as efficiently as possible so you can get back to your guests. No military precision. No barking instructions.

You've got a room full of people you love and I'm not going to keep you away from them any longer than I need to. 🖤

The moments that matter most usually last about a second.

The look just before the first kiss. The parent seeing their child in a wedding dress for the first time. The best man absolutely holding it together. 👀 (He wasn’t.)

My job is to catch all of those moments on camera without anyone knowing I’m doing it.

Unlike this deer, who had zero interest in pretending anything and absolutely no concept of personal space. 🦌

We love you Whitworth Hall. 🖤

Haydn and Maddie picked the 31st of October and the weather came up trumps. Crisp, bright and orange absolutely everywhere.🍁
Cosy bits inside Jesmond Dene House, then out into the Dene for portraits in the leaves. 🍁
Such a perfect day 🧡

Every couple I've ever worked with has said some version of the same thing beforehand.

"We're not really photo people." "We don't know how to pose." "Can we keep it really short?"

You want portraits you'll love forever. You just don't want to spend hours feeling awkward getting them.

A bit of direction, somewhere to walk, something to laugh about. Short, relaxed and always better than people expect. 🖤

"I forgot you were there."

That's genuinely the best thing anyone can say to me. It means the day felt completely natural, the photos look completely natural, and nobody spent the afternoon feeling like they were being photographed.

You want gorgeous photos. You just don't want to feel like you're being followed around all day.

That's exactly what twenty years of press photography teaches you. 🖤

You don't have to choose between caring about your wedding photos and actually enjoying your wedding. Twenty years of press photography means I know how to get the shots without you ever feeling like you're being photographed.

What it actually feels like to have me there on your wedding day.

I'm not going to be in your face. I'm not going to keep pulling you away from your guests. I'm going to follow your day, stay out of the way, and catch everything as it happens.

For portraits I'll give you somewhere to walk, something to laugh about, a bit of gentle direction that makes you look incredible without it ever feeling like a photoshoot.

You want gorgeous wedding photos. You just don't want your wedding to revolve around them. That's exactly how I work. 🖤

Poppy and Greg got married on Poppy’s family farm in the Cheviots. A proper DIY wedding in one of the most beautiful parts of Northumberland, surrounded by the people they love most.

This landed in my inbox today and genuinely made my evening.

“She made us feel so relaxed on the day and captured all the special moments, plus moments we didn’t even realise were happening.”

That last bit. That’s everything. You don’t have to choose between feeling completely at ease on your wedding day and ending up with photos you’re overwhelmed by. That’s exactly what I’m there for. 🖤

Things couples say to me before their wedding. And what actually happens.

"We're so awkward in photos." You're really not. You just need someone who knows how to make you forget the camera's there.

"My partner hates having their photo taken." Some of my favourite ever shots are of people who said exactly this.

"We don't know how to pose." You don't need to. That's on me.

You want beautiful photos. You just don't want to spend your wedding day dreading them. The couples who worry most about this always end up loving their photos the most. Every single time. 🖤

20/10/2026

Planning a wedding that doesn't look like everyone else's?

I shoot documentary wedding photography across the North East and North Yorkshire. I follow your day as it actually happens, the quiet moments, the details you spent months choosing, the tears before you even get down the aisle.

Twenty years in press photography means I know how to stay invisible and catch the good stuff. I add a bit of gentle direction for couple portraits so you look great, but mostly I'm just in the background doing my thing.

You shouldn't have to choose between beautiful wedding photos and actually enjoying your wedding. With me, you don't have to. 🖤
