Home, but make it a little bit wild.

Bare feet. Sunlight. Muddy knees. Big laughs.

Just them, exactly as they are. 🌿

Three generations.

Family photographs, but make them feel like your family. 🤍

A wedding day doesn't have to look like a wedding day. 🤍

A town hall ceremony. Your favourite people gathered around you. A few beautiful details. A walk through the old streets afterwards. Somewhere lovely for dinner.

And suddenly, you've got a wedding that feels completely yours.

I love photographing days like this — where the focus isn't on following a formula, but on creating something that feels personal, considered and a little bit different.

The beautiful portraits, of course. But also the hands being held, the nervous smiles, the people you couldn't imagine the day without, and all the little moments happening around it.

You don't need a huge guest list or a traditional wedding to make a day unforgettable.

You just need to make it yours.

A reminder that beautiful weddings don't have to follow the "rules."

Hidden inside Hastings Museum is one of the most incredible ceremony rooms in Sussex. Carved wood, stained glass windows, dramatic theatre curtains... it feels like stepping into another world.

And this day? It was full of everything that actually matters.

The nervous smiles before the ceremony. The way they couldn't stop laughing during confetti. Quiet moments backstage. Holding hands. Happy tears. Family. Joy.

It wasn't about spending thousands on the dress or the décor.

It was about marrying the person they love.

That's what I'll remember every time.

If you're planning an intimate wedding, registry office ceremony or doing your day your own way, know that your wedding doesn't have to look like everyone else's to be beautiful.

Your story deserves to be told exactly as it is.

What if your wedding look didn't have to follow tradition?

This editorial at Herstmonceux Castle was inspired by brides who want to celebrate their love in a way that feels completely their own.

A soft tulle gown paired with handcrafted chainmail proves that bridal style can be timeless and unexpected at the same time. Elegant doesn't have to mean conventional, and your wedding day doesn't have to look like anyone else's.

As a Sussex micro wedding photographer, I love documenting couples who choose intimate weddings, meaningful celebrations and personal details over expectations. Whether you're exchanging vows in a castle, by the sea, in the woods or at your local registry office, your day should feel like you.

If you're planning a wedding that's a little different, I'd love to photograph it.

The little moments are the ones you'll miss the most. 🤍

As a mum myself, I know how quickly childhood changes.

One day they're reaching up for your hand, asking for "just one more story", collecting sticks on every walk and running as fast as their little legs will carry them. Then somehow, those ordinary moments become the memories you wish you could revisit.

That's why I created my Storytelling Family Sessions.

No awkward posing.
No forced smiles.
No asking your children to sit still.

Just an hour to slow down and enjoy being together while I quietly document your family's story exactly as it is.

These beautiful moments are from a recent storytelling session at Beachy Head, where we spent the morning reading stories, flying a kite, exploring the cliffs and simply letting childhood unfold.

The result? Honest photographs that feel like memories.

Because years from now, I don't want you to remember the photoshoot...

I want you to remember how it felt.

If you've been dreaming of family photographs that are relaxed, natural and full of genuine connection, I'd love to tell your story too. 🤍

Simple doesn't mean ordinary.

One of my favourite looks from this editorial.

Beautifully understated, modern and effortlessly elegant, this bridal look is proof that less really can be more. It was created for couples who value meaningful moments over traditions, and who want a wedding that feels true to them.

As an intimate wedding photographer in Sussex, I'm always drawn to celebrations where connection comes first. Whether you're planning a micro wedding, an elopement or a relaxed wedding day by the coast, your photos should reflect your story—not anyone else's.

If you've been searching for wedding inspiration that feels timeless, modern and a little different, I hope this inspires you.

Not every bridal look has to follow tradition.

For this editorial at Herstmonceux Castle, I wanted to explore how something as unexpected as chainmail could sit alongside delicate lace, soft tulle and timeless bridal styling.

The contrast became my favourite part.

Strong yet elegant. Unconventional yet romantic.

A reminder that your wedding day doesn't have to look like anyone else's. If you're planning an intimate celebration that's true to you, there's no rulebook to follow.

The first chapter. ⚔️🤍

June photo dump im 15 photos...

We finally got to share our biggest news... baby number two is on the way. 🤍

A dreamy editorial at Herstmonceux Castle.

Celebrating three years of marriage with a much-needed date night.

Homemade pasta with my favourite boys.

A trip to the butterfly house... even if the butterflies had other plans.

Another beautiful editorial, this time at the Chatsworth Hotel with Stone & Silk.

Turning Arthur and me into Stickle Bricks because why not?

Stopping everything to watch the biggest boat in the harbour.

Arthur's little garden is growing (and he's very proud of it).

Every bug hotel deserves a thorough inspection.

Sandcastles and his very first playdate.

Photographing another beautiful wedding at Brighton Town Hall.

My bump finally popped... and later that day we found out we're having a little girl. 💕

Harbour adventures are always a good idea.

A tiny picnic for a mouse at forest school... because childhood should be full of little bits of magic.

The beautifully ordinary. That's what June looked like.

Real Wedding | Brighton Town Hall | Brighton Micro Wedding 🤍

After more than 20 years together, Yvette and Darren finally said "I do" in an intimate ceremony at Brighton Town Hall, surrounded by just 40 of their favourite people.

What made this wedding so special was the role their three children played throughout the ceremony. They walked their parents down the aisle, read a beautiful poem and signed as witnesses—a moment I'm sure none of them will ever forget.

These relaxed, meaningful celebrations are exactly why I love photographing intimate weddings. No pressure, no fuss—just genuine moments with the people who matter most.

If you're planning a Brighton Town Hall wedding, a registry office wedding or a micro wedding in Sussex, I'd love to tell your story too. 🤍
