This is a forever thing.
Every wedding I shoot, I’m thinking about the fact that I’m making photographs that will be looked at for a lifetime, hopefully longer.
It’s an honour.
I document love, beauty, and fun in all forms, making images that are intentional, timeless, polished little memory sparks that will always bring back the feeling of every unrepeatable moment.
There are 3 things that I want to happen on your wedding day…
No matter who you are, I want:
1. For you both to laugh at least seven hundred times.
2. For us, together, to make photographs that you will look at when you’re ninety, and all the intensity and joy of the day will come rushing back to you and put a lump in your throat.
You’ll look at your young selves, your perfect beaming little faces, and you’ll be bowled over by how gorgeous and in love you were. You’ll feel it all again as if it was only a few heartbeats ago.
3. I also want, at the end of the night, to feel low-key devastated to leave you and your brilliant, kind, hilarious, interesting friends and family.

Elopement
Up to four hours
If you’re eloping in the wilderness, I’m your girl! On a cliff, on a beach, on the moors, in a forest, up a mountain, on a boat… these are my happy places.
We’ll get our heads together to chat about your elopement and cocreate a rock solid logistics plan. This is where my military background comes into its’ own in terms of map reading, location scouting, meteorology knowledge and contingency planning, especially if you’re planning a proper wilderness elopement.

Half day
Up to five hours
Up to five hours of coverage for beautifully simple wedding plans, or if you don’t mind documenting the early and late parts yourself.
This package is best if the central events of the wedding day are the closest to your heart: tears at the ceremony, characterful candids whenever your guests are mingling, belly laughs during the speeches.
-
Full day
Up to twelve hours
The whole day covered, from getting ready first thing to getting loose at the reception. This package is best if you want to capture every brilliant little moment.
From all the nervous excitement of the morning as well as you and your suavest uncle/craziest mates/cutest granny cutting shapes on the dancefloor - we’ll catch it. There’ll be time for us to run away together for a couples shoot… and if we can get barefoot on a beach or in a field, even better.

Destination
Up to twelve hours
My full day package (up to twelve hours on your wedding day), plus, if time allows, a pre or post wedding shoot on location, somewhere epic - maybe at sunset or sunrise, maybe in the sea, maybe on top of a mountain?
We’ll meet beforehand physically or digitally as many times as we need to so we can fully discuss all your dreams and ideas for your destination wedding and put together a watertight travel plan.
River, be their teacher, that together they may turn their future highs and lows into one hopeful flow.
