Long road trips with no particular plan, photobooks — slightly obsessed, exhibitions — always looking for the next one, London — best city ever, the North — mostly for its people, I’m a Northerner, Portugal for the nature, India for the chaos, colour and soulful travel, French and Hindi — my favourite-sounding languages, beautiful and interesting light, poetic images, street photography, Brutalist architecture, abstract art, roses, dahlias and carnations, vivid colour, pink, contrast, juxtaposition, a little bit of chaos, spontaneity, dark chocolate, instant coffee — yes really, Indian food, Jane Birkin — effortless cool, David Bowie — icon of reinvention, photography heroes Martin Parr, Sarah Moon, Sophie Calle and Saul Leiter, my favourite camera — the Pentax K1000, an underrated gem, been a mum is the best thing - my life motto — leave room in your heart for the unimangeable.
When it comes to weddings, I’ve had the pleasure of photographing all kinds of celebrations, for all kinds of people, in all kinds of places. From four-day celebrations in Seville to intimate spiritual ceremonies guided by Peruvian shamans, yes, really!
Telling the story of a wedding through images that are spirited, sometimes hilarious and often profoundly moving is a real joy. in as much as i bring my creative and artistic vision to your day its important to me that you and your day and how it unfolds is front and center. I consider being of service key in my approach.
Alongside weddings, I’m an exhibiting fine art photographer and I mentor newer wedding photographers. I’m a bit obsessed with photography generally, photobooks, exhibitions, film, street photography, old cameras, beautiful light ,and all of that feeds into how I see a wedding, from light and composition to movement, colour and detail.
I’ve lived a fairly adventurous life. I spent many years in India, raised my daughter in Spain, started out as a model and later had my own fashion brand. I taught yoga, meditation and movement for many years, hosted retreats and the odd festival, and spent a good part of my life being a creative nomad.
All the different chapters of my life have made me feel completely at home with people in all sorts of situations, camera in hand. My fashion background means I have an attuned eye for what looks timeless and cool. That said, ultimately, it’s the people that matter. The love, connection, family, friendship, the people who have travelled miles to be there, the ones crying, the ones dancing, the ones making everyone laugh, all gathered together for one fleeting moment in time.
15 years, 200+ weddings and counting.
These days I limit myself to shooting not more than 15 weddings a year, many of those are multiple day celebrations.
Keeping my numbers low means I can truly give my best to each couple and celebration, and that I'm genuinely eager to work with you and make your special day unforgettable!
Hasta Pronto, Abientot, By for now
