Read MoreSeven years of photographing Zaiden—seven years of laughter, milestones, and moments frozen in time. Long before his little brother Zeian joined the picture, we were already creating a tradition: capturing the magic of Christmas and birthdays year after year. Even now, with my life having moved 400 miles away from Essex to the peaceful beauty of Cornwall, this tradition is one I just had to keep. And so, with my camera packed and Christmas spirit in tow, I made the long journey back for another festive adventure. This year, however, we decided to mix things up a bit. Let’s be honest—asking little ones to sit still and simply smile for the camera isn’t exactly their idea of fun. So, the plan was simple: keep the boys engaged, keep it interactive, and let the magic unfold naturally. Cue the chaos—and the matching pyjamas. Yes, mum and dad joined in, too, making this photoshoot feel more like a family Christmas morning than anything staged. And it worked beautifully. We started with decorating the Christmas tree. There’s something so special about those candid moments: the tiny hands carefully (and sometimes not so carefully) placing ornaments, the wide-eyed wonder when the lights flicker on, and the […]
Read MoreSome of you might know that the past four years have been a bit of a rollercoaster for us. Amongst other things, our house was compulsory purchased for a new road development, turning our world upside down. But every cloud has a silver lining, and ours has led us to a fresh start in Cornwall! Yes, we’ve made the leap to a life surrounded by the sea, the countryside, and a whole new world of photographic opportunities. And fear not, my Essex clients! Our ties to Essex are still strong. We will be back often to capture your special moments, ensuring that the distance only makes our work together more special. Cornwall, with its rugged cliffs, whispering waves, and gentle countryside, is more than just a place – it’s a feeling. A feeling of serenity, a connection with nature, and an endless source of inspiration. As a photographer, this move has been a dream come true. The dramatic coastline, the golden hours by the sea, and the quaint, rustic charm of farm life provide a canvas like no other. Living on a farm in Cornwall is about to open up a whole new world for me. Embracing self-sufficiency, I’m gearing […]
Read MoreHey there, fellow story seekers! I wanted to take a moment to share a bit about what makes my approach to photography more than just clicking pictures – it’s about creating connections, sharing laughter, and capturing the essence of your unique story. When you hire me as your photographer, you’re not just bringing in someone with a camera; you’re inviting a friend into your world. From the moment we start planning your shoot to the final click, it’s a collaborative adventure. I’m not just there to snap photos; I’m your partner in crime, your calming presence, someone to shoot your nerf guns at, someone with the answer to those last minute wedding questions you forgot to ask… whatever you need! Capturing the perfect image is not just about the technical aspects of photography; it’s about weaving together a narrative of emotions. Every smile, every shared glance, and every burst of laughter contributes to the tapestry of your story. My lens is not just a tool; it’s a storyteller, translating the unspoken moments into visual poetry. I know that sounds cheesy, and maybe it is a little, but its so true, these are the moments you will remember for ever. One […]
Read MoreHey lovebirds! In a world where sustainability is the new black, why not make your big day as eco-chic as possible? Enter the realm of eco-friendly weddings, where love meets planet care. Picture this: a celebration that not only unites two souls but also treads lightly on Mother Earth. Let’s dive into the enchanting world of green weddings and discover how you can say “I do” to both love and sustainability. 1. Venue Magic: Choosing the right venue is key to setting the eco-friendly tone. Opt for a naturally stunning outdoor location or a rustic barn that embraces the charm of imperfection. Nature becomes your backdrop, and you reduce the need for excessive decorations. Win-win! 2. Invitations with a Twist: Go digital or choose recycled paper for your invites. Better yet, get creative and craft plantable invitations. Your guests can literally sow the love you share, and wildflowers will bloom as a beautiful reminder of your special day. 3. Attire for Good Vibes: Say goodbye to the conventional wedding attire and embrace sustainable fashion. Consider second-hand dresses, ethical brands, or even rocking a vintage family heirloom. For grooms, a sharp suit made from eco-friendly fabrics is a stylish choice. 4. […]

Read MoreI had the honour of photographing Sophie and Maddie getting married at the White Hart, in Great Yeldham. A truly magical day, surrounded by love and beauty where even the rain couldn’t dampen the spirit of the two brides, and a ceremony filled with all kinds of beautiful details. The brides wore stunning vintage-style dresses with added contemporary touches, giving the looks an elegant and unique feel. Tarot cards marked the details of the ceremony, such as writing their vows on tarot cards from a reading the previous evening, to the exchange of rings, and the brides’ triumphant “I do’s.” Dried flowers added charm and delicacy to the scenery, and the result was simply breathtaking. Despite the wet weather, the overall atmosphere was truly magical and the level of love and happiness in the air was palpable. It was an honour to be able to be part of their special day, and to capture their beautiful memories. The White Hart provided the perfect setting for their unique, one-of-a-kind day, and I hope I did justice to the beautiful brides and their love for one another. Some hard dancing followed a day filled with laughs, love and more than one tear! […]

Read MoreToday, we explore how shooting outdoor family photography in the beautiful Essex countryside can achieve the natural shots you’ve been searching for. As someone who has been involved in family photography for many years, I know the importance of my work in making memories for my lovely Essex couples. Be that the first few shots of their newborn, wedding or engagement celebrations. Each of these big stages in life are vitally important to cherish, and to look back on with fondness. And that is why our job, as a lifestyle photographer, is so pivotal in the business of creating keepsakes for our couples. Shooting the perfect family photography session is, however, no mean feat, and I often have to get creative with my Essex couples in order to create the memento they deserve. Because, as the adage goes, ‘never work with children or animals’! And kids, in particular, can be very unpredictable, often inattentive and sometimes just plain shy when put in front of a camera. So, they can be a challenge, especially when paired with a couple, or extended family who probably haven’t taken part in any professional modelling before. The key to ensuring that these family portraits are […]
