Two of my favourite things blended last week-weddings and street photography. Part 1 of Lauren and Harry’s wedding celebrations took us through the streets of Walthamstow as they wandered from home to their
After witnessing them, their parents and two best people make an impromptu dash through the waterfalls I’m really looking forward to much more frivolity next weekend with Part 2! (more of that to follow)

This is what I’m doing while you’re completely immersed in your day.

The art of capturing a moment isn’t just about being there with a camera. It’s about anticipation. Knowing when to react, when to move closer, and when to step back and let a moment unfold.

This isn’t simply “candid” photography. It’s about intentionally creating storytelling images from the beautifully ordinary moments happening all around you.

Those “blink and you’d miss it”moments?

I don’t miss them, because noticing matters.

Because I want to deliver you a wedding story you probably didn’t even notice happening on the day. (As well as the main one!)

Thanks to Wendy and Michael for trusting me to document their day authentically. That’s my kinda gig 😉

The parts of a wedding day that no one talks about - but I love ❤️
All the quite moments often tell more of your wedding day story than the big ones.
They’re the little things totally unique to your day and the people in it, subtly revealingly authentic personalities and showing you things that you might never have noticed happening.
What a shame it would be to miss them 📸

Contrary to popular belief I always find the getting ready part of the day really chilled. I’ve never witnessed the chaos and drama some people associate with bridal prep, same with groom prep too. Maybe I just attract relaxed and laid back couples?
It’s an integral part of a wedding, sets the scene for the day and lulls you into the story that follows.
I love photographing it 📸

Flowers wilted, cakes melted and everyone took on that shiny glow that 37 degree heat dictates ☀️ Come the evening we were all a little unhinged and steam was definitely released on a lively on fire dance floor!
Amazing day for and Dan at Fanhams Hall

Tiny weddings are so cute, and we can cover a lot of ground with just a short coverage package!
After throwing a huge wedding party in France, H and A did the legal bit with just parents at Say I Do Islington followed by champagne and cake back at their hotel Hazlitt's Hotel
It was really quite special to capture these as H’s parents weren’t able to make the French celebration.
I’m glad they’ve got a gallery of pics to look back on now that include them too ❤️📸❤️

It’s true, the photos you’ll treasure the most are often the ones you didn’t pose for.
That’s why I photograph the in-between moments just as intentionally as the big ones.
Of course, your portraits matter. But years from now, some of the photographs you’ll treasure most are the ones you weren’t even in.
Over time the images that hit you in the chest are often the ones of the people you love simply being themselves.
So, I don’t just photograph weddings. I photograph wonderfully ordinary moments that become extraordinary because of who’s in them. For you and yours to hold forever ❤️
If this sounds like your cup of tea, I’d love to hear from you. 📸
Thanks to S and A for trusting me to capture all the moments from their Hertfordshire Registration Service wedding followed by a reception The Rose and Crown Welwyn where all the guests made a cake. Suffice to say, there was lots of cake, more of that to follow!

If you’re planning on a wedding make sure you don’t miss this window! It’s a beaut ❤️ H and A decided they might like a photographer two days before their ceremony…yup, two days 🤣 Thankfully I was able to jiggle things around to fit them in 🥂

I know more “not photo people” than photo people. I’m one of them and I get it. I mean, it’s so awkward isn’t it?

So how do I help you get past that?

I meet all of my couples before the wedding day. Often twice. (Once before you book me to see if we’re a good fit, and then again a few weeks before your date)

Encouraging you feel comfortable on your wedding day is really important to me and spending a little time to get to know how you roll really helps with that.

I’ll explain that for 99% of your day I need nothing from you but to throw yourselves into the celebrations. Yay! 🥂

The tiny 1% part of the day capturing you both looking your most awesome can be looked upon as a little quality time together away from the crowds.

I’ll encourage you to bring your drinks, your dog, your kids…whatever keeps it relaxed and fun.

It’s your wedding day after all, not a photo shoot.

We’ll simply take a wander, you get a chance to chat, kiss, hug - all I need is that you be in the moment together.

How long will it take?

That’s always your choice, but a typical time is around 15 minutes. Enough time for a breather, quick enough for you not to miss anything.

And the goods news?

Most couples say that they enjoyed this time. My approach allows you to relax and your guests to relax, leaving me to photograph all your authentic moments…no cringing, guaranteed! 📸
