During coronavirus
Now that lockdown has eased a little, I am glad to welcome you to my studio just outside Tunbridge Wells. With distancing measures in place, we can chat about your wedding and what you love, then I can show you how I do things and introduce you to some gorgeous products which are part of every wedding that I photograph.
How I capture your wedding day
How I capture your wedding day
From start to finish I will be completely unobtrusive, capturing the natural moments, the elegance and the romance of your day.
When it comes to the couple photos, I will direct you in a natural, comfortable and yet stylish way.
Everybody gets an album! Yes, I include a luxury wedding album in every package.

Process
You initial consultation
This will be our first meet of many and is a chance to get to know each other and for you to see the full breadth of what I offer. My studio has many examples of stunning wedding photography, so you can have an idea of what to expect. Book an online consultation
The pre wedding shoot
This is a fantastic opportunity to get to know how I work and so on the big day you will feel more relaxed. A popular idea is to use the photos for a bespoke guest book. More on engagement shoots and guest books
Pre wedding meet up
One month before your wedding day we will meet up and go over all the details and timings. From this meeting I draw up my own timeline for the day with all the important information about your wedding so I am super organised.
Your wedding day
On the wedding day I will arrive in good time to make sure things get off to a relaxed start.
Your big reveal
3 weeks after your wedding day is your big reveal at my studio – a very exciting experience full of emotion and memories. Here you will make the bespoke choices for your wedding album and also have the opportunity to place orders for wall art, parent albums and other products from my stunning range.
Collecting your luxury wedding album
When you return to collect your beautiful album and wall art I hope it is not a goodbye, rather the completion of the process and the continuing of a new relationship. See wedding albums

FAQ
FAQ
I live in Tunbridge Wells and cover Kent, Surrey, Sussex and often travel further afield too. I also have a special package for overseas weddings.
Absolutely! As well as the initial consultation when you book, I will arrange a meeting a few weeks before the wedding to go over your itinerary, groups list and to plan out the timings together. Typically these meetings will be at my studio.
At the pre wedding meeting we will set a date for your viewing which will be around 3 weeks after the wedding.
This is the big reveal of your wedding collection set to sound, viewed in style on a big screen and will include your album layout which I will have already designed.
This is also an opportunity to view your wedding album options and choices, as well as choose from the beautiful range of wall art.
Booking is always easier at the meeting but if that's not possible I will email the booking form to you.
If you have any questions then please ask. I’m always happy to help with even the simplest queries.
Once you have completed the booking form and sent the deposit your wedding photography is fixed and you can cross it off your to do list.

Your Wedding Album - A family Heirloom
I believe that the ultimate way to present your wedding photos is in high quality print. This is why I include a tailored wedding album in every package.
The photographs in these stunning albums will not blur, and the colours will not fade. This represents your commitment to each other and makes them a priceless treasure for you and for generations to follow.
I create each album design and you make the choices of each material to ensure it is the perfect match for you and your wedding.
I then arrange its production in Italy with who I believe are the finest producers in the world.
