My Story

I’m a wedding and elopement photographer who doesn’t quite get weddings. I have absolutely no idea what cut your ring is, in all likelihood I won’t know more than three dress designers off the top of my head, the current colour trends are beyond me. My own dress was from the early 1900s and bought online, my wedding band was bought at a flea market in Amsterdam, and we were late to our ceremony because of tacos. But I do know that weddings and elopements celebrate one of the most impactful things about humanity, that it brings people together in the name of love and commitment, and that is beautiful.

I believe there will be days that exceed the day you are married in importance as you experience new things for the first time together, struggle through difficulties together, and learn to have a greater understanding about love together. At the end of the day, all you need are the two of you and a celebrant. As a photographer, I hope my images allow you to re-experience the day through a different perspective. That one image may remind you of the wind that blew your hair out of the pins holding it during the ceremony, another that fleeting hand grab at the top of the aisle, playing with the ring during the reception, or that quiet moment as you embrace to take it all in. I will tell the story of your day through the grand events and the subtle moments.

I want to honestly and unobtrusively document you celebrating your wedding day together.

Otherwise, you’ll find me hiking with Hobbit the dog, being a fantastically bad baker, marvelling at my husband’s skills in the kitchen, playing The Witcher, scanning in film my grandfather took a few decades ago, and being a general homebody while planning my next trip.
