Capturing the memories you'll cherish and the moments you miss...

I love capturing the memories of your big day so you can reminisce in full, vibrant, joyful colour for the rest of your lives. From getting ready, the ceremony, portraits with personality and of course…. Think of me as an extra member of your Wedding Party, I'll be your cheerleader, portrait organiser, candid ninja in the shadows and on the dancefloor making sure Uncle Bob is snapped throwing shapes

Let's say something not everyone wants you to hear... not every wedding needs full-day photography!

Some weddings are smaller. Some are shorter. Some are simple on purpose. Some are a ceremony, a few photos, a meal, a pub, a party, or a “we just want to get married without making a massive production of it” kind of day.

That does not make it less important. Sometimes it's the budget that requires shorter coverage, so the main bits are covered and the rest are in the hands of your guests phones.. that's OK!

I offer hourly coverage from 90 minutes to the full shebang, so you can book what actually fits your plans, your needs and your bank balance. It's not "cheaper", it's not "budget", it's the same quality, thoughtful photography but for however long you need it!

Good for registry office weddings, elopements, vow renewals, pub receptions, smaller guest lists, second weddings, low-key days, or anything that does not need someone there from morning prep to midnight snacks.

You can enquire through my main website, WhatsApp, DM, or head to shortweddingstories.co.uk for the shorter coverage side of things.

If your wedding has guitars in it, I am already interested.

Not because every wedding needs to be alternative, or because I only photograph people in black. Although, excellent choice if that’s you. But because I love weddings where the couple have actually thought about what feels like them.

The playlist that makes sense to your mates.
The song that would make your mum roll her eyes.
The first dance that isn’t a first dance - it's moment of pure joy.
Bringing your musicality and passions into your ceremony.
The ceremony exit track that makes everyone go, “yeah, obviously.”

A wedding sounds like a wedding, when it sounds like YOU. When it's a reflection of you as a couple.

So whether it’s emo, metal, pop punk, indie, rock, 90s nostalgia, film soundtracks, big room trance floor fillers, or one deeply unhinged guilty pleasure that absolutely has to happen, I support it. (Temperature by Sean Paul, btw)

And I will be there photographing the reactions, the questionable dancing, the air guitars, the arms-round-shoulders singing, and the moment your friends lose their minds at the opening riff.

What’s on your playlist?

You don’t have to plan a wedding that makes sense to anyone but yourselves...

You don’t have to invite people out of guilt, wear what people expect, pretend you love being photographed, or make the whole day look like someone else’s Pinterest board.

Invite who you want. Wear what you want. Make it weird, colourful, small, loud, emotional, low-key, main character energy, or whatever feels right.

Your day. Your party. Your people.

I'd love to help you document it without making it feel like a performance.

Enquiries open for 2026 and 2027 🖤

If we chatted at a wedding fair recently, hello!

I’m Becky. Pink hair, cameras, coffee, probably talking too much about how awkward most people feel in front of a camera and how you should do whatever the f*ck you want on your day.

I’ve met so many couples over the last few weeks who are planning weddings that sound brilliant. Small ones, big ones, pub ones, colourful ones, slightly chaotic ones, and a few that very much had “we’re making this up as we go along” .... Which, to be fair is how I survive in the world.

A quick reminder of what I do:
🖤 I photograph weddings for people who want to enjoy the day, not spend hours being dragged around for photos they didn’t ask for.
🖤 I’ll help when you need direction, step back when stuff is already happening, keep the group photos moving, and make sure you don’t feel like you’ve accidentally signed up for a modelling job.

If you stopped by my stand this is your nudge. Pop over to my website (or the cheeky discount link on your flyer) Send me your date, your venue if you have one, and a rough idea of what you’re planning and let's make sure I'm the right fit for your day!

Obviously your photographer needs to know what they are doing technically. That part matters. You want someone who can handle light, movement, weather, timelines, dark venues, chaotic dancefloors, and all the rest of it.

But weddings are not created in a vacuum. They happen around people, emotions, nerves, family dynamics, shifting plans, and the occasional mildly off-kilter schedule. So being good with people is not some bonus extra. It is a massive part of the job.

Knowing when to step in, when to back off, grabbing drinks or brandishing safety pins, how to keep things moving without being bossy (OK maybe a bit when group photos are happening), how to reassure someone without making a big thing of it, how to get the picture without killing the mood.

Wedding guests are one of the finest forms of live entertainment. I BLOODY love people watching, it’s a massive perk of the job….

Obviously I am there to photograph you, your day, your people, and all the big important moments. Very professional. Deeply committed to the job.
But I would be lying if I said wedding guest behaviour was not one of my favourite side quests.

There is always someone crying during the ceremony after swearing they would not, someone fixing everyone’s outfit like they work there, and at least one guest giving an unexpectedly committed dancefloor performance. There is also usually a relative quietly holding the whole social energy of the day together.
I love all of it.

Weddings are full of weird, brilliant little moments like that, and they are a huge part of what makes the day feel real. Yes, the big moments matter, but so does your mate losing it over the evening pizza and your aunt going for it when Proud Mary starts playing.

Who is most likely to be the wildcard at your wedding? I’d love to know the tea!

A good wedding timeline should make the day feel easier, not more structured for the sake of it - it’s not about being rigid or a newlywedzilla

I think some couples hear the word “timeline” and immediately picture a joyless spreadsheet, somebody clapping their hands, and the whole day being run like a school trip.

A good timeline is not there to control your day. It is there to give it breathing room. It’s to help your suppliers help you and keep things moving so you don’t need to think about anything. It helps stop everything feeling rushed, gives you space to actually enjoy what is happening, and makes it far more likely that your photos will feel relaxed rather than squeezed in between minor panic and someone asking where the confetti has gone. (Don’t worry I’m ALWAYS in charge of the confetti).

It also means you are less likely to lose chunks of the day to faff. You get time with your guests, time to eat, time to have a drink, time to disappear for ten minutes together without feeling like the whole thing is about to fall apart.

That is why I care about timings. Not because I want the day to feel over-managed, but because I want it to feel easier for you.

You can still be sarcastic. You can still be loud. You can still hate being the centre of attention a tiny bit. You can still want a proper party, proper music, and photos that look brilliant without making you feel like you have wandered into someone else’s Pinterest board.

I think that is the bit some people need reminding of. Wedding photography should meet you where you are, not ask you to become a completely different person for a day.

If you are stylish but a bit chaotic, sentimental but not soppy, cool but still very much up for a dancefloor meltdown by 10pm, there is absolutely room for that. In fact, I would argue it makes the whole thing much better. YOUR Day. YOUR People. YOUR Personailty. YOUR love story 🫶

The luxury is not the fluff. It’s how the day feels. Sometimes luxury looks like a wedding day that actually feels good to be in.

🖤 It looks like not being marched around for endless photos.
🖤 It looks like knowing someone competent is keeping an eye on the little things.
🖤 It looks like feeling looked after without feeling managed.
🖤 It looks like having photos that bring back the energy of the day, not just proof of what everyone wore.

A lot of couples want beautiful images, obviously. But the higher value part is not just the gallery. It is the full experience of having someone there who knows when to step in, when to back off, and how to keep things moving without making your wedding feel like content production.

That is the stuff that changes the day. And yes, it also happens to look great in photos.

If you want wedding photography that feels polished without feeling stiff, let’s chat!

Wedding season is definitely here! Which also means pre-wedding photos are in full swing too.

So I thought I’d give these gorgeous black and white photos their moment. One thing I love about these sessions is hearing about how their wedding plans are coming together and watching my couples camera confidence increase - it’s such a wonderful way to build rapport and get used to hanging out with me and my silly cameras 🫶🏻

I can’t wait for Heather & Harry, and Jessy and Sam’s special days 🥰🥰
