The Wedding Highlights of 2019

2019 in review…


2019 was such a great year, both personally and professionally.

With every wedding I did, my appreciation and gratitude towards the couples I worked with grew, and I am so grateful that they hired me because my candid approach resonated with them. I often get asked whether I have an ideal client, but I could never pigeon-hole the incredibly diverse people who choose me to do their weddings.

I started and ended my season with weddings in Puerto Rico, photographed a beautiful same-sex wedding in Paris and others in some beautiful locations in the UK such as Kew Gardens and Hawarden Castle. From DIY to lavish, 15 guests to 250, my approach and dedication have always stayed the same, and are summed up in the 64 (out of 17,269 I delivered in 2019) photos I’ve chosen here:

To never stage or direct moments, and to capture heartfelt images by being as unobtrusive as possible.
