Creative Documentary Wedding Photography
See my latest stories of happily ever after
If there is anyone who has seen every part of a wedding – up to the last dance – it’s your photographer.
As an experienced and established wedding photographer, I’ve visited some of the most beautiful wedding venues, worked with flourishing florists, photographed incredible cakes and seen the skills of hairstylists in action. And I’ve been entertained, amazed and in awe of incredible talents and entertainers, from DJs to live bands, Irish Ceilidh bands, Brazilian drummers and live jazz.
If you’re looking for ideas, read through my latest blogs and case studies to find out more.
