I am fortunate to say my life has been filled with art, travel, stories and new connections from a very young age. Born in England, raised in Scotland and with strong ties to East Africa spanning three generations, my life's trajectory has always felt a little wiggly. There have been twists and turns, suitcases and new homes, departures and arrivals, and more than a few moments that required what someone once called my 'defiant humour'. I took that to mean I will always choose joy in the face of despair.
Looking back, I think this constant movement shaped me more than I realised at the time. It taught me to pay attention. To people, to place, and to the small details that make a moment feel meaningful. It instilled a curiosity about how others live, love and connect, and remains one of the reasons I am so drawn to photographing weddings today.
I was drawn to words long before photography; the way a carefully chosen sentence can evoke emotion, create entire worlds and alter how we see our own lives. That fascination led me to study English Literature at university, though I ultimately graduated with a degree in English Literature and Film & Visual Culture.
It was there that I discovered visual storytelling. Cinema, art and photography introduced me to the idea that meaning often lives beneath the obvious; in atmosphere, symbolism, gesture and the spaces between things. What captivated me wasn't simply the story itself, but how it was told.
That way of seeing has never really left me. I am drawn to emotion, light, nuance and human connection, but also to the quieter details that give a story depth. Once wedding photography entered my peripheral vision, it became obvious that all those wiggly roads had been leading here all along.
Every wedding has its own rhythm, its own energy and its own way of being remembered. No two people move through the world in quite the same way, and I don't believe they should be photographed as though they do.
That's why I place so much importance on getting to know you before the wedding day. Through conversations, questionnaires, moodboards and planning, I build an understanding of what matters most to you and how you want your day to feel. By the time the wedding arrives, I am not simply documenting what is happening; I am photographing it with the context of who you are.
I approach each wedding with a calm, grounded presence and gentle editorial guidance when needed, creating space for real moments to unfold while ensuring they are photographed beautifully. The result is a collection of images that feels considered yet natural, intentional yet deeply personal.

This season of life has taught me to value presence in a way I never did before. To pay closer attention. To savour the ordinary. To recognise that the things which seem small in the moment often become the things we hold onto most.
A wild past, rooted present - and I wouldn’t change a thing.
Photographs became more than memories; they became my last tangible link to someone I loved deeply. Since then, I have held photographs - and taken photographs - differently.
I notice the people at the edges, the quiet interactions and the moments that pass without announcement. It inevitably shapes how I photograph weddings, because I know first-hand that what we preserve today may become far more important than we can imagine.
Having spent much of my life moving through the world collecting stories, experiencing love and loss, I consider it a privilege to preserve those connections for others.
