Enquire about your wedding
I'll suggest a location that suits your family and the season, from bluebell woods in spring to heather and golden grasses in late summer. I'm based in Weybridge and photograph across Surrey and London, and I'll send you directions before your shoot.
The hour or two before sunset gives that soft, golden light you see in my photographs. Early mornings are lovely too, especially in the city when parks are quieter.
Treat it like any special occasion and adjust the day a little. A good nap beforehand helps, and the excitement of the shoot usually keeps little ones going. For evening shoots, an early tea before we start works well.
Of course. Dogs are part of the family. It helps to bring a lead and someone who can hold them for a few photos of just the people.
Many of my favourite spots are on woodland paths and heathland, so a buggy can be tricky. A carrier for babies and a small bag with snacks and wipes is usually all you need.
Light cloud and even a little drizzle can look beautiful. If heavy rain is forecast, I'll get in touch before your shoot and we'll find a new date together.
Yes. All I need is a room with a window. I work with natural light, and real, lived-in homes make the most heartfelt photographs. There's no need to redecorate or tidy every corner.
Usually the rooms with the best light, often a bedroom or living room. Cuddles on the bed, reading stories and playing on the floor make wonderful, natural moments.
Yes. A grandparent's house, a holiday cottage or anywhere special to you works beautifully. Just let me know when you enquire.
Yes. At-home shoots are especially relaxed for babies, and we can work around feeds and sleeps. Get in touch during pregnancy if you'd like to plan ahead.
Family photo shoots start from £300, which includes 5 beautifully edited digital images. You can add more images once you've seen your photographs.
Yes. After your shoot you can choose 5 extra images for £100, 10 extra for £200, 15 extra for £300, or the full gallery for £350.
Wedding photography starts from £1,500. Every wedding is different, so get in touch with your date, venue and plans and I'll send you a tailored quote.
As early as you can, especially for weekends and popular seasons such as bluebell time in spring and golden autumn evenings.
Comfortable clothes you feel like yourselves in. Soft, natural tones that work well together, without large logos, look lovely in photographs. I'm happy to help with ideas when we plan your shoot.
It happens. Let me know as soon as you can and we'll find a new date that works for everyone.
