What do you offer?

I’m a London wedding photographer specialising in relaxed, natural photography for

LGBTQ+ couples and inclusive weddings. My approach is calm, unobtrusive and people-

focused, capturing real moments without making couples spend the whole day posing for the camera.

A lot of couples tell me they feel nervous in front of the camera at first, so creating a relaxed

and comfortable environment is always important to me. I gently guide when needed, but I

mainly focus on genuine connection, personality and the atmosphere of the day as it naturally unfolds.

Why do you want to work with the LGBTQ+ community?

As someone in a long-term queer relationship myself, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and genuinely accepted by the people around you on your wedding day.

I’ve spoken to couples who previously felt uncomfortable with photographers making

assumptions about gender roles or simply not understanding queer relationships. I never want anyone to feel that way with me.

When my partner and I had our own civil ceremony, it meant everything to celebrate our

relationship openly and equally, and I love being able to photograph those moments for other couples too.

Allyship

My business is openly LGBTQ+ owned, and inclusivity is naturally part of the way I work

and communicate. I use inclusive language, work with couples from all backgrounds and

identities, and create a relaxed space where people can simply be themselves.
