About Me

South West Wedding Photographer

A couple sits together on a garden bench surrounded by greenery, with a flowing lace wedding gown trailing on the ground.

I am a South West Wedding Photographer based in Devon who loves capturing those natural and heartfelt moments. I have lived in Devon my whole life, surrounded by my menagerie of animals.


Before becoming a photographer, I was a zoo keeper, so it’s no surprise that I’ve always been surrounded by animals! My little zoo includes two mischievous cats, three frogs, a Giant African Land Snail named Jeremy, and a variety of colorful fish. Growing up on a farm further deepened my appreciation for nature, which often inspires my photography, especially for couples who love rustic or countryside settings.


When you book with me, you’re not just getting a photographer - you’re getting a personal cheerleader, dress-fluffer and pocket square fixer! I also offer a joint photo and video package, so you can relive every laugh, tear, and dance move in both stunning images and epic cinematic storytelling.

my style of photography


My wedding photography style is all about capturing those real moments. The spontaneous laughter, the smiles, and all the unscripted magic that happens when you least expect it! I’m here to tell your story as it unfolds - no 'say cheese’ moments, just real emotions, meaningful details, and a whole lot of fun.


Whether you’re saying ‘I do’ in the countryside, by the coast, or in a cozy, intimate venue in Devon, Cornwall, or Somerset, I’ll create timeless, natural images that’ll have you grinning for years. From romantic couple portraits to those perfectly imperfect guest moments, your wedding gallery will be heartfelt, personal, and true to you!

Think of me as a friend with a camera


Your wedding day is all about love, laughter, and creating unforgettable memories, and I’m here to capture every moment while making sure you feel completely at ease. I approach every wedding not just as a photographer but as a friendly face who feels like part of the crowd.

I’ll be there to cheer you on, calm your nerves, and help adjust a stray hair or two if needed!


My goal is to blend seamlessly into your day without making it feel staged or intrusive. Whether it’s joining in the laughter during your preparations or dancing alongside your guests to get those candid party shots, I’m there to ensure you feel comfortable and supported every step of the way.
