You don’t need to worry about……

Feeling camera shy, it’s perfectly normal not to love being the center of attention, feeling awkward, not knowing what to do with your body and where to look when you are being photographed. Don’t stress about being picture-perfect, this is why I’m here to guide you through everything, so please relax, your experience will be easy and stress-free!

  • Everyone has unique personalities, some strong and set in their opinions. I’ve worked with so many people.

    I also understand the importance of capturing your family members and friends, though they may not like the camera.

    Please don’t worry, my documentary approach allows me to get natural beautiful photos of people without them realizing it. As well as my relaxed, friendly, and compassionate personality, putting people at ease, even the camera-shy ones! (Just look at how confident, happy, and comfortable everyone looks in my portfolio)

  • Please don’t worry, this is where I come in!

    I don’t do the awkward love heart poses, or photos that take ages to take, my group pictures are simple and done quickly.

    I understand the importance of getting group portraits, that’s why I offer them in my wedding photography, though I have a documentary approach.

    Leave all the stress to me, all you have to do is give me a list of who you want to be photographed and I’ll get them rounded up and photographed in a jiffy, whilst making everyone look good! (Trust me, just look at my full wedding examples!)

  • I completely understand the anxiety people feel about being photographed.

    But if you look at my wedding portfolio all you’ll see are happy people at their wedding and photos that are complementary to them. That’s why I filter through every photo to ensure that no one will be embarrassed about their photos because there is nothing worse is there!

    Every photo is carefully chosen and hand-edited to ensure that people look their absolute best. No dodgy photos here! No AI editing, no heavy editing either, just beautiful photos like you deserve.
