CAN I COME TO YOUR PARTY?
I’m the girl who wants to make sure that you have the best day ever. let’s have a yarn and I dunno, maybe become besties? let’s have the time of our goddam lives.
first of all. sorry for the close up. but also, this is the kinda energy I bring, so never mind.
I was born in a wee town in north england, but I grew up in new zealand, so when you meet me, just know that my accent is a little messed up. I’m one of those extraverted humans, so I ask a hundred and one questions coz I love love love getting to know people. also, if I’m not travelling, I’m 100% thinking about it.
things I am most passionate about in life: whimsical + chaotic dinner parties, curating a worldwide top 30 coffee shop list, my family, sunshine+summer, humans in love and people’s stories. I photograph people who are looking for someone to document their love, adventure, and laughter. I’m a laughter and joy girlie, so couples who want to capture their relationship in a wild and adventurous and ridiculous way are my vibe – ya know, couples who want to eat fries together (those are my particular favourite), explore a city together, climb a mountain together, have a dinner in an orchard with their favourite people together. I’m really passionate about helping people see themselves the way I see them - like, you are SO beautiful and your butt? your butt is da bomb. might stop making brooklyn nine nine references now but probably not.
some weird facts about me
- I was homeschooled for all of my education - I don’t wanna brag, but I’ve had the raving review of “very well-adjusted” from at least two people soooooo
- I lived in a house bus for 2 years of my childhood
- I’m a fan of brooklyn nine nine, parks + rec, and new girl but then again, who isn’t
- feed me dumplings, potato top pies, and sour candy and we’ll be best friends forever
- strasbourg, jerusalem, california, and london are some of my favourite places
- mountains and beaches are both equally important to me - don’t make me choose.
- I’m a dinner party girlie. if I could live in a kinfolk dinner every day I probs would
MY NOT SO SECRET RECIPE
I’m here for the couples who
- want their wedding day to be 100% them
- don’t give a damn about rules
- question whether they even want to cut the cake in the first place?
- love a good blooper pic
- will get their shoes or dress dirty for a memorable moment
my secret talent
my speciality lies in helping people feel really comfortable in front of the camera. I’ve spent 10+ years of my life learning how to get people to relax in front of the camera and to trust the process. and I don’t wanna brag, but I’m bloody brilliant at it. this is why connection is so so so important to me - it’s why we’ll always have a meeting before we book. I want us to be best buds and have the time of our lives, coz that’s when I do my best work and that’s when you have the best day.
some whimsical things about the way I shoot
- if you describe your wedding day as a “dinner party with friends” I will immediately say hell yes
- I won’t ever ask you to recreate emotional moments on your day
- makeup can be fixed later, let the tears flow
- I’ll never ask you to “act natural” (what does that even mean)
- I love to give moments of rest+quiet to my couples during their day - wedding day naps yo
