5 Things About me

I like to travel

I love to travel abroad often, especially to new places. Blue skies and sunshine will always be on my list of small pleasures. Holidays abroad is where my love for photography began - documenting my travels and telling the story of our adventures, has always brought me joy.

Rollers skating is my new favourite thing

This year I decided to reignite my childhood love of rollerskating and it has been so much fun!

Being a photographer wasn’t part of the plan

I used to work in fashion buying. One year, whilst lying on a beach in Spain and contemplating the thought of going back to work, I decided that it was time to try something else. I didn’t know what and I definitely didn’t have a plan, but with faith I took the leap into the unknown and resigned as soon as I returned. With the extra time on my hands, I had time to pursue my curiosities, one of which was photography. After being asked to photograph an event and being paid, I decided that maybe this could be my new job and so started presenting myself online as a “photographer”.

I love to dance

Not any old type of dancing (although that’s fun too), but more specifically, I love to dance the Angolan dances, kizomba and semba.

Food is my love language

If there’s food there, I’m going. I like all types of food although eggs, mushrooms and pork aren’t for me.

WHAT I
DO BEST

Lifestyle

Lifestyle and branding shoots are perfect for small businesses wanting to showcase their services. As the saying goes, it’s better to show than tell.

Weddings

Every couple is different, every wedding is unique. I love to document all types of weddings. My aim is to tell the story of your day in the most beautiful way possible by focusing on capturing natural emotions and all those in-between moments.

CLIENT RAVES

Stephanie & Chris

You truly have the ability to capture those priceless moments, more so you reveal the little magic that the people you take can feel but couldn’t catch or reproduce. In your pictures you reveal the beauty of people getting married, each so uniquely. I can’t see a standard method applied to all instead I see unique captionsthat embody all the attentions brought by the people attending. That it may be a shot of the cup of teas chosen specifically for the day, or a little frame carefully placed on a table or again a focus on a child’s face taking in the ceremony with a naive wonder. These shots show the making of the day; combined with clever compositions and unusual crops the results are truly touching, natural and vibrant.
