About Me
A personal definition for the medium of photography is a way to connect, communicate, and explore the depths of our shared human experience. Every image is capable of revealing the beauty in our vulnerabilities and create moments of genuine connection that ultimately tell the story of us.
​
Through the tiny porthole of the viewfinder, I seek the opportunity to experience and express this definition. My work is driven by the belief that this craft has the ability break down barriers, allowing us to see and be seen in our truest forms.
​​
I care about making images that go beyond the surface, whether in a studio setting or out in the world, my intention is to capture something real, that resonates on a deeper level, encouraging the viewer to engage with the emotions, stories, and subtle details that make each frame meaningful.
I am grateful to have found photography as a way of exploring the world and understanding the people within it. And fortuitously it's a collaborative process—one that requires a connection, trust, openness, and a willingness to be vulnerable together. I’m committed to creating an environment where these connections can flourish, and where the results reflect the authenticity of those shared moments.
​
I’m inspired by the endless possibilities photography offers, grateful for all it has brought me, and excited for what lies ahead.
General
Q: What if I need to cancel/reschedule?
A: That's totally fine. As a part of your booking a deposit (amount depends on the type of booking) is included. If you need to cancel, I would require at a specified period of notice (see my booking page for the applicable service) for a full refund. Notice within the given time period of the booking will mean the deposit is non-refundable. However you have the option to reschedule at no extra cost.
​
Q: What does it mean when the final images are retouched, graded and processed in full resolution JPEG?
A: Retouching the image for portraiture means that I will look to clean anything distracting left in the image such as dust or a hair that has gone astray as well as remove any blemishes or spots that are temporary (anything that will no longer be there in two weeks as a rule-of-thumb). Grading consists of subtle Photoshop tools to refine the contrast in light and colour. Finally, all images are shot in digital RAW format meaning that they are files that need to be interpreted by specific programs (you could think of it as the undeveloped film negative). Once edited (developed your film) converting an image to JPEG purges the extensive unnecessary data and leaves you with your finished product (the print).
Q: Can I have any/all of the unedited photos?
A: In short, the answer is no I'm afraid. I can appreciate that looking through your contact sheet, the proofs look pretty good by themselves, however the reason being that photographers only release edited images is because to deliver otherwise is only half of the job complete. As above you can see all that goes into the image post shoot, at this part of the process each photographer has honed their unique look and style.

A: Yes, there is a bathroom that you're welcome to use.

Wedding Photography
​
Q: How far in advance should we book for your photography services?
A: It's recommended to book your photographer 9-12 months in advance to ensure availability, especially during peak wedding seasons.
Q: What is your photography style?
A: I offer a mix of traditionally posed, photojournalistic and candid images across your day. My style is as unobtrusive as can be, predominantly capturing moments and details as they present themselves with some pre-planned time for posed images such as groups and newly-wed portraits. Take a look at my portfolio for a glimpse at my style.
Q: Can we see a full wedding gallery?
A: That shouldn't be a problem. Just contact me to request access to a full gallery in order to assess my photography a whole.
Q: What packages do you offer?
A: I offer either a partial day or a full-day for coverage of your wedding day with the options to add any of the following:
-
Engagement Session — An arranged session prior to your Big Day where we can spend some time photographing you both in a more casual setting. These images can work nicely with your wedding paraphernalia also
-
Bridal Portrait Session — Close to the wedding day itself, we can arrange a dedicated session to capturing the bride in their dress
-
Additional Coverage — Add a second photographer to cover both the groom and bride's preparation, particularly if they are further away from one another and at the same time as well as more general coverage across the day offering different angles and moments.
-
Albums — Options to have your final images composed and printed in a photo book as a physical momentum.
-
Prints — Particular favourites from your day that are worthy of printing to a high quality paper with professional results.
​
A: Do you charge travel fees?

Q: How will we receive our photos?
A: Photos will be delivered via an online gallery with the option to include physical prints and/or albums.
Q: Do you provide retouching and editing services?
A: Yes. I will be personally selecting and editing every image myself. I do not use any AI or tools that might mean I pass over anything of worth. I will tend to each image individually.
Q: Can we provide a shot list or specific photo requests?
A: Yes, we will discuss as a part of the preparation for your photography the specific moments you wish to capture as well as the groups of people to photograph.
Q: Do you have backup equipment?
A: Yes. I have two contingency options should anything unexpected happen.
Q: What happens if you’re unable to shoot our wedding due to an emergency?
A: Understand the contingency plan, which might include a backup photographer.
​
Q: Do you have liability insurance?
A: Simply, yes. I am happy to provide this information if any venue requests this.
​
Q: Can we order prints and albums directly from you?
A: You can indeed. I have researched and tested different labs to find the best quality that your images deserve.

A: Simply use my booking page to choose your date, once the deposit is paid, you have secured your date. I will then follow up shortly after to begin preparation for everything.
Q: What is your cancellation policy?

A: I would be happy to travel for you wedding if my photography is your preference. To discuss the specifics, including travel and accommodation costs, please contact me here.
Q: How do you handle family photos and group shots?
A: Prior to the wedding day, we will arrange to discuss logistics and requirements, including composing a shot list for family and group shots in order to ensure we do not miss anything.
Q: What kind of equipment do you use?
A: I use digital mirrorless cameras with prime lenses and I have spare camera bodies and varifocal lenses for contingency.
Q: How do you handle low-light situations?
A: My aforementioned cameras are selected for their low-light capability, as are the fast lenses. However, I do also bring along and use flash in scenarios that call for it, so long as it is not intrusive on the moment.
Q: Can we meet you before booking?
A: I would encourage at the least a phone call/video call, if not a meeting in person to discuss your photography. Additionally, if you plan to book an engagement shoot with your wedding booking, this is also a good opportunity to get a sense of how I work as well as meet ahead of the big day.​

Corporate
​
Q: Do you offer headshots in "black and white" or only colour?
A: Generally, headshots are almost always in colour. However, you may have certain reasoning for looking toward B&W as this may be something that ties in your general aesthetic or your field of business, especially if you are wanting to go for a more dramatic lighting, B&W can add great contrast to this effect. You will just need to specify this when making your selects as it will be a separate edit.
​
Q. What are "pure white" backgrounds?
A. These are headshots shot specifically to key the background so that it is a clean white (RGB: #ffffff) that will blend seamlessly into white backgrounds such as websites or emails etc. This way you can place your headshot without the restrictions of a boarder.
Q: What do you advise that I wear?
A: Ideally, anything that you may typically wear in your field to showcase yourself as you are in your workplace. The fewer surprises when a potential recruiter or client meets you, the better. One thing to bear in mind however is that often the images are seen on smaller screens and if your jacket or tie or top has stripes, dots or fine patterns, these can create a moiré effect which can be distracting, so I recommend avoiding these types of details.
​
Q. How long before my images are delivered?
A. Final digital retouched and graded images are delivered within 5 working days after you submit your selections, which will be sent via a weblink for download.
