As you might imagine, receiving two cancer diagnoses within five years was an immensely traumatic experience. The uncertainty of survival consumed me entirely. Learning to coexist with this reality meant confronting my deepest fears, embracing them, preparing for the worst, and writing heartfelt letters to my children. Having emerged victorious twice, now free from cancer, I find that this extraordinary journey has given me a heightened appreciation for the preciousness of life.
This newfound perspective permeates my photography, which is perhaps why I consistently strive to exceed expectations, document everything as candidly as possible. I'm determined that you won't miss a single moment of your exquisite day.
I strive to capture your day in a way that uniquely reflects who you are as individuals. I take the time to understand your personalities, preferences, and the special nuances of your relationship. Whether you prefer candid moments or more structured shots, I tailor my approach to ensure your photos are a genuine representation of you.
Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to tell yours through my lens. From the big, emotional moments to the small, intimate details, I focus on capturing the essence of your day in a way that feels authentic to you. The end result is a collection of images that not only document the events of the day but also showcase your individual personalities and the special bond you share.

My clients are individuals who savor every step of the journey, not just the destination.
They're playful, open to guidance, eager to learn, and always ready to share a laugh. They embrace spontaneity, adaptable to whatever unfolds.
They're willing to forge a connection with me as I delve into understanding them. They appreciate humour, possess a grounded nature, and can appreciate a healthy dose of sarcasm—even if it means enduring the cheesiest dad jokes.
As we grow closer, the barriers fade away, and you can fully embrace your authentic self. Because above all, that's what I desire—to capture the essence of who you truly are.
Absolutely! I have an insatiable passion for traveling. Exploring new destinations ignites my spirit and fuels my sense of adventure!
Typically, my travel requirements include flights, accommodations for two nights, and car rental to transport my equipment. However, these details can vary based on your specific location. Feel free to reach out, and we can discuss the particulars in more detail. Let's embark on this journey together!
I understand completely. I'm the epitome of an awkward smiler. The moment a camera or phone is aimed my way, my shoulders rise to my ears, and I flash the widest grin imaginable. It's nerve-wracking.
That's why I've put together a PDF guide to assist you. Simply scroll to the bottom of this page, enter your email address, and you can download a copy.
On your special day, I'm confident that once you're dressed and prepared, the smiles will come naturally. However, I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve to help you relax and capture those stunning images that you'll cherish forever!
I take joy in offering you a glimpse of your special day through previews the day after your wedding. I imagine we're all equally eager for those first glimpses.
I recall feeling a tinge of sadness the day after my own wedding. After all the anticipation and excitement, it was a bit disheartening that it had come to an end. If you find yourself in a similar situation, perhaps having some beautiful images to look at will lift your spirits. The remaining images will be delivered within 4-6 weeks, though during the bustling wedding season, this timeline may extend to 8 weeks. Rest assured, I'm naturally quite impatient and won't keep you waiting longer than necessary.
Absolutely, I have Public Liability insurance and can provide documentation should your venue require it.
