Absolutely! I’m based in Bridlington East Yorkshire but I will happily travel to wherever you need me to be. All of my packages include travel up to 1 hour of YO16, anything further than that is 45p per mile just to cover my fuel cost.
-
Everyone is! I certainly am! I have had so many clients from weddings, family & newborn sessions tell me that they’re camera shy and don’t want the limelight of the camera on them. But after spending some time with me & easing into my relaxed way of photographing, they feel confident & immersed in their experience, having core memories documented & beautiful portraits.
Trust in me to guide you & let yourself embrace the nerves.

Get in touch via the contact form.
To secure your wedding date, I just take a £200 deposit upon booking. The deposit is non-refundable & is a part payment of the final amount.
For families, I just take a 50% deposit to secure your booking. Again, non-refundable & a part payment of the final amount.

This is dependant on the package you choose. For full day weddings, typically, you will receive a small gallery of sneak peeks within a week of your wedding & your full online image gallery between 4-8 weeks. Your final usb delivery is usually between 8-10 weeks after your wedding.
For families, anywhere between 1 and 4 weeks for your final delivery of images.
-
Of course you can. If you have something special at the end of the day or the beginning that you want captured we can personalise your package to add on some extra coverage. Extra hours are charged at £150 or we can create a package that’s totally custom to you. Just send me an email and let’s get planning!
For families, this is exactly the same & can be sorted with ease.

Yes! Throughout our discussions & planning we will have for you big day, one thing I will ask of you is to have a list of the various formal shots you’d like to get with your wedding party. We then typically set a section of the timeline aside for it so that they are not missed. I know how special having the ‘mantlepiece’ photos are so having a list of the various loved ones you’d like them with is really important so we don’t miss anyone on the day.
It is not a necessity to have group photos, but if you wish to then we can plan them into your day.
For families, this is exactly the same.

I’ll never make you shoot in bad weather! We can simply push the session back until the rain clears.
If it rains your wedding day, then have your prettiest umbrella at the ready! There is complete flexibility to work around the weather on your wedding day & so we can push designated outside photos we set on the timeline forward for when the shower stops. Likewise, if it rains all day we will embrace your beautiful venue inside & squeeze a couple of shots in outside with a brolly!

I give a lot of guidance on clothing tips once you’re booked in to prepare you for the session. I advise neutral, earthy tones like browns & creams, flowy fabrics, all with a very minimal, subtle look that will make you feel comfortable & elegant and mimic the environment and colours that your photos will be in.
For newborns, I advise light, neutral tones like off-whites & creams, flowy fabrics, all with a very minimal, subtle look that will make you feel comfortable and allow for all the focus to be on you and baby, no distractions. And I love knitwear! For babies, just like the family, I advise light, neutral tones like off-whites & creams. But typically during the session there will be a point, if you wish, to undress baby & capture details that are usually covered up with clothes such as toes, fingers, their little legs & all that fuzzy hair. I provide blankets & rompers too so there’s no need to worry about what to put your baby in.
-
There’s little preperation needed. I just need you, your baby, your family & the essentials you need to keep baby comfortable. Milk at the ready!
-
I usually suggest booking a date in as early as you can to avoid disappointment, particularly during the busy periods of the year such as wedding season. I always make space in my diary for inevitable early or late arrivals so don’t worry about being unable to go ahead with the initial date you secured. Once baby has arrived we can shuffle the date around if needed.
-
I never expect your children to be perfect. We will embrace the chaos, tears and joy as they come. Let your children be themselves & we will follow their lead and make it fun. I always have tricks up my sleeve to put a smile on their face too!
