I am so fortunate to say my life has been filled with art, travel, stories and nurturing new connections from a very young age. Born in England, raised in Scotland, with strong ties to East Africa for the last three generations, my life’s trajectory has always felt a little…wiggly. Lots of twists, lots of turns, lots of airplanes, suitcases, new homes, old homes and having to face difficulties with what someone once called my ‘defiant humour’. I took this to reflect that I will always choose joy in the face of despair. This early exposure to the world as a child marked me forever and subsequently, I have created a life for myself that allows me learn continuously, explore new corners of the earth and forge relationships that are meaningful and aligned, no matter where I find my feet.

I was drawn to words before photography; the way stringing different words together can evoke emotion, create worlds within our minds and shift the perceptions of our own lives in such impactful ways. This interest took me to university to study English Literature, though I left with a degree in English Literature and Film & Visual Culture. The introduction of cinema, art and photography opened the door to visual poetry for me and this was a pin point moment that would define my career down the line. At the time, I never imagined I’d be able to fuse my love of storytelling with my fascination with light, emotion and the nuances of human connection, but once wedding photography entered my peripheral vision, it soon became obvious that this was where all the wiggly roads had been leading to all along. 

I believe wholeheartedly in collaboration, in paying attention to who you are and what matters to you; using my style to tell your story. I am invested in bringing forward your energy and fusing your images with your magic - whether that is intimate and grounded, high spirited and playful or somewhere in between or beyond. An intentional and interactive workflow between the day of booking and the wedding day means that by the time we are working together, I know your vision as well as you do. I approach each wedding day with a calm, grounded presence and friendly professionalism, using gentle editorial guidance to ensure candid moments occur in just the right place, light and time.
