About Me

I am a mother of three boys (three boys, being punished for my sins!) and have been a fan of photography for years. I started shooting weddings seriously about five years ago. With the arrival of my twins, I decided to reduce my working hours in order to spend more time at home with my boys. Using photography to make up for the loss of income was a natural progression.

This is where you will be able to catch regular excerpts of what I am up to...

Up today, is the ever-patient Christina and Derick.


They tied the knot a couple of weeks ago, at Green Leaves, under spring skies blue enough to rival Christina's beautiful eyes. Well, almost!


It seems as though I am repeating the same mantra with each wedding post, but, the couples we take on seem to be the most precious souls!


Both Christina and Derick are just the nicest people you could meet. Myself and Stella had such a wonderful time with the pair of them.


This wedding was all about the real, natural, no fuss - just a calm and happy celebration of love. This is most definitely a wedding that will be remembered with fondness.


I've so many favourite photographs and below are just a few to let you in on the merest glimpse of such a memorable day.


I would like to thank Christina, Derick, their family and friends for making us feel so incredibly welcome

We were once again blessed with awesome light in the chapel...and how awesome is the Boabab ring holder!

Above - A brief moment in time, this was taken just after Derick and Christina signed the register. Unposed and unrehearsed; just natural emotion captured.

Stunning photos! I love how you backed off the flash to get some background as well. The "kneeling at the alter" was amazing because of the sunlight!

That "moment in time" image is just awesome. I love the BW you did as well, almost like it adds to the image.
