weddings
i love the creative challenge that goes into telling a compelling wedding story that reflects the real day, not simply my vision of it. i always say i’m shooting for the grandkids, and although fashion photography and heavily photoshopping images are popular right now, what are the grandkids going to say when they see grandma […]
when i first met sonia and nick at our consult i knew we were perfectly matched for each other. they are hilarious, adorable, madly in love and passionate about their wedding images. my favourite kind of client! i was looking forward to this wedding knowing with certainty what a pleasure they would be to work […]
i wasn’t expecting to love italy quite so much. i was there 10 years ago and found it all a bit over the top. i was excited to go shoot this wedding but simultaniously steeling myself against the things i remember about italy that made it seem so obnoxiously italian a decade ago. but this […]
every marriage is a merging of cultures. even people who grew up down the street from each other will find that what their family always considered normal is someone else’s annoyingly different. rob and corinne are no exception. he spent his childhood in the grey, cold and orderliness of a german city, while she was […]
my expectations were completely exceeded by joanna and wesley’s midlands winter wedding. i had heard about the venue through other photographers and knew it was owned by a coordinator who runs the days events on a tight schedule. i can’t say that excited me because i consider it my job to decide when and where […]

destination weddings are by far and away my favorite. it’s not only the chance to indulge in my love of travel, but i revel in working with the people that populate the events. not only the intrepid bride and groom but also their closest friends are bound to be quality. when your guests have to […]
i shoot most weddings alone. sometimes i use an assistant and i adore them and appreciate the freedom it gives me but i never fully rely on them. i never trust them to get a shot for me, i shoot every wedding as if i’m the only one there. a lot people live like that, […]
i’m not that girl who carries her camera everywhere. it drives luke crazy because as a family with a photographer in it, we have relatively few photos of the places we go, but a million of the faces we know. my passion for the art lies in the constant challenge of collecting awesome experiences and […]
some people eat to live, food just is the necessary caloric energy that sustains their body. but for me, i live to eat. i exist hungry. it’s one of the perks of my job that at the middle-to-end of a long day i sit down to some amazing chow. i had been looking forward to […]
