My philosophy

Capturing how your day feels, not just how it looks

Black and white first look wedding photos showing emotional family member on seeing bride at the Olde Palace Chester.
Candlelit wedding reception dinner table with guests enjoying and celebrating the intimate speeches at the Crow Wood Hotel and Spa, Burnley.


I believe your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot — it’s a beautifully chaotic, joy-filled, slightly teary, cake-on-your-face, tie around your head and dance kind of story. It’s deep breaths before the aisle, inside jokes during the vows, and that one friend who absolutely owns the dance floor.


I’m calm when things get wild, attentive when you need a steady presence, and quietly in the background when the magic’s unfolding on its own (and not in a weird hidden in bushes kind of way). I’ll give guidance when it's needed, disappear when you don’t and believe me I will find anyone hiding in the back of a group shot (a bit like Liam Neeson in Taken ha ha).


It's your day and my aim is to make your day feel easy, natural and fun!!

Testimonials

Michelle! You were incredible right from the start. You made everybody feel so comfortable and also rescued me from a minor panicked moment!

You made me and Daniel feel so comfortable throughout our photos, we had fun doing!

You created a safe space for the kids to freely approach you for sneaky photos. Which for me and Daniel was very humourous. The photos you have given us are beautiful. So natural and so fun. We loved the time we got to spend as a couple in the moments after the ceremony. You gave us the space we needed and created something truly special for us.

Truly incredible work and also a wonderful woman!
