Alicia & Chris 🤍

There was something so beautiful about photographing these two at Plymouth Registration Service . So many loving glances, quiet little gestures, and those in-between moments that say everything without a word.

For this part of their day, I’m sharing the images in black & white — because honestly, I’ll never get tired of how timeless and emotional photographs can feel without colour. 🖤

A beautiful beginning to their story. ✨

I think this might be my favourite part of the whole shoot… 🧡✨

Beth + this beautiful vintage orange van from .transport = pure magic.

It’s amazing how such a small, old-school vehicle can become the perfect backdrop for timeless photographs. Every angle offers something different, and with a little creativity, the possibilities are endless.

What makes it even more special is knowing that the owner lovingly restored this van himself. You can truly see the passion, dedication and craftsmanship in every little detail—and I think that makes these photos even more meaningful. 🤍

Sometimes you don’t need an extravagant location—just beautiful light, the right atmosphere and a little imagination.

Just look at these moments… 🍊📸

We thought we’d quickly pop outside for some family portraits with Daria and Sam’s children. The plan? A few lovely photos under a tree while hiding from the rain.

The reality?

The wind had completely different plans.

Umbrellas were turning inside out, everyone was laughing, nobody’s hair stood a chance, and for a second I genuinely thought their little girl was about to take off like Mary Poppins! 😂

Safe to say, it wasn’t quite the calm family photo session we’d imagined!

Thankfully, the wind gave us a little break, and we still managed to create some beautiful family portraits.

But honestly… I have a feeling nobody will remember the perfect portraits as much as they’ll remember the great umbrella disaster of the day! 😂 Those are the stories that get told over and over again.

And this is exactly why I love having children at weddings. They bring so much laughter, chaos, and unexpected fun. They always add that extra spark to the day, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 🤍✨

It started with an idea.
A four-hour drive.
A missed sunset.
A light we created ourselves.
And two people just days away from becoming husband and wife.
This is the story behind the photos. 🤍

Some moments don’t need words.

There was no rush, no audience—just two people completely present with each other.

This editorial was created to celebrate intimacy, connection, and the quiet moments that often become the most unforgettable.

Every detail was intentionally designed, but the emotions you see were completely real. Knowing that their wedding day was only a few weeks away made every glance, every touch, and every smile even more meaningful.

These are the moments I love creating—the ones that feel timeless.

As the ceremony unfolded, they exchanged handwritten vows, slipped the rings onto each other’s fingers, shared their first kiss, and danced beneath the trees as if no one else existed. Every moment felt real because it was. Just days later, they would be saying these same promises to each other again on their wedding day. 🤍

Not everything goes according to plan—and sometimes that’s exactly where the magic happens.

The vision for this shoot was simple: I wanted to capture that dreamy golden-hour glow. But our couple had a four-hour drive to the location, and all day I kept thinking, I hope we make it before sunset.

Well… we didn’t.

And honestly? It didn’t matter.

I had packed a continuous light, just in case. Instead of chasing the sun, I recreated it myself and shaped the light exactly the way I imagined it. Some of my favorite images from this session were made after the sun had already disappeared.

This shoot was also incredibly special because our couple was only a few weeks away from their actual wedding, making every moment feel genuine and full of excitement.

Sometimes the best light isn’t the one you wait for—it’s the one you create.

A huge thank you to this amazing team for bringing this vision to life. 🤍
