About Me

I am a mother of three boys (three boys, being punished for my sins!) and have been a fan of photography for years. I started shooting weddings seriously about five years ago. With the arrival of my twins, I decided to reduce my working hours in order to spend more time at home with my boys. Using photography to make up for the loss of income was a natural progression.

This is where you will be able to catch regular excerpts of what I am up to...

I have mentioned before, I do find it rather daunting/intimidating/nerve-wracking when I'm hired by another photographer and, in this particular instance, the pressure gauge was upped by two bars. Not only a photographer, but, a photographer who changed his wedding date in order to book me. Gasp.  No pressure. 

 

Sarah and Jay had a dreamy, whimsical outdoor picnic wedding and the simplicity and laid-back atmosphere was really beautiful.  Complete with fabulously quirky invites, a stunning bouquet, picnic baskets and blankets, fairy lights, a handmade cake topper and plenty more.


Thank you,  Sarah.   Thank you, Jay. 

We had an absolute blast with the two two of you - in fact, you barely noticed the cameras and were super-easy to photograph.


I hope you get Pulitzer prize-winning images in Thailand - No pressure! ;-)

How awesome, and different, is Sarah's wedding bouquet - once again handmade by Sarah.

I am not sure who's granny I captured? This was as Sarah walked down the aisle with her dad.

Once again too many images to select from (and too little time), so I am sure there will most definately a follow up post to this wedding.

Gorgeous as always, Andrea! And I'm going to hold you to that promise of more images. :-) The last one is my favourite - oh and the ones above that with the sky. Eh, who am I kidding, they're all gorgeous. And I want to eat that cake right off the screen. Nom.
