Because the most beautiful moments are often the ones you didn’t plan for.

When you’re fully present on your wedding day, it can all pass in a heartbeat. That’s why I’m here — not just to take beautiful photos, but to capture your wedding story as it naturally unfolds.

The below isn’t a strict photo list. It’s a guide to the kinds of moments we’ll gently preserve together — the ones that make you feel something now, and again 10, 20, 30 years from now.

Your photos are your forever memories of those magical feelings.

Getting Ready The quiet before the celebration. The laughter. The nerves. The anticipation.

• Calm moments by the window or mirror (you, just taking it all in)
• Your dress or suit hanging up, waiting
• Close-ups of details (rings, shoes, flowers, invitations, perfume, jewellery, any sentimental items)
• Candid moments with your wedding party
• You reading a letter or having a quiet moment
• Buttoning up, zipping up, last touches
• Parents’ or loved ones’ reactions as they see you dressed
• Calm moments by the window or mirror (you, just taking it all in)
• A special moment to pause with a 'first look' when you're ready, with your fiancé, your dad or your mum. This could even be a quick handhold with a door between you if you don't want to see your fiancé until you walk down the aisle

Ceremony The heart of the day — filled with unrepeatable emotion.

• The setting, wide and artful
• Guests arriving and embracing
• Walking down the aisle
• The look on your partner’s face as they see you
• Vows and reactions
• Exchanging rings, first kiss
• Candid moments from your guests
• Walking back up the aisle together, just married!
• A confetti moment — colourful, joyful, spontaneous. You just soak it in, I’ll organise it all and capture the magic.

Portraits & People Not stiff. Not staged. Just you — naturally, beautifully.

• One beautiful group shot, ideally from above — a sweeping view of everyone you love, gathered in one unforgettable frame (I use my drone for this!)
• Relaxed couple portraits in natural light
• Unscripted interactions between the two of you
• Family groupings (we’ll keep this quick, calm and organised)
• Wedding party moments — laughter, hugs, champagne pops
• A few quiet portraits just for you, to breathe and connect

Reception Details Because you’ve poured your heart into every choice.

• The calm before the room fills up
• Table settings, florals, menus, candles
• Your cake
• Guestbook, seating plan, personal touches

The Celebration All the energy, emotion, and elegance of the evening.

• Speeches — reactions, tears, laughter
• The toast and clink of glasses
• Golden hour portraits (if timing and weather allows)
• First dance (and maybe a spin or two)
• Candid shots on the dance floor
• The people you love — fully present, fully alive
• A quiet moment to yourselves, just the two of you
  

And the In-Between Moments… The ones that might otherwise go unseen or be forgotten.

• A proud glance from a parent
• A happy tear that slips down your cheek
• A loving look from your new husband or wife
• The giggles from children
• The way your best friend steadies your hand
• A breeze lifting your veil
• The stillness, the celebration, and everything in between

This is your story. It’s your legacy.
And my promise is to capture it with care, intention, and an eye for the moments that matter most.

If you'd like to chat about how I can help capture your most special of days, please do get in touch to check my availability and we arrange a chat. I can't wait to hear about your plans!
