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...

 

I am the type of person that will walk into someone's home and meticulously view all the photos on display.  Rude?  Maybe?   But, I really do love looking at photographs.


There is something sacred and meaningful about them.  Looking at photos from the 80s with all the dodgy haircuts; the holiday by the sea; looking at the scattered toys in the background; recognising a few being the exact same ones we had when we were small; looking at the outfits, the expressions on faces and remembering things you never want to forget.


I felt just like that upon entering Una's and Matt's wedding, as there were loads of pictures in the reception area.  Images of great-grandmothers and grandfathers, giving us an insight into their background, how much the kids have changed and grown and how these two families are now unifying, with a new chapter ahead of them - that of Una and Matt.


Think bright flowers.   Think of a groom playing the saxophone .  Think down-to-earth and genuine. Una's and Matt's wedding was awesome in every sense.

 
Thank you so much for the opportunity to share your day with you and to have had the privilege of documenting it.

A neighbour put together these beautiful flower arrangements, are they not just too gorgeous with all those colours?

These are amazing Andrea.
I somehow know what you must feel when looking at old photos that we display in our homes.
They were important enough to someone at that moment and their memory lives on in the future generations.
Just imagine the next few generations looking at your stunning work that you captured and they will be left pondering how it was like back then (Now).
Great work!!
