“One of the best Female Photographers in London & the Cotswolds”
CREATIVE LONDON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
My work has been recognised with Awards and I have been recognised as “One of the World’s Best Wedding Photographers.” Named by ELLE as one of the UK’s Top 12 Wedding Photographers.
I love, love and everything that comes with it. And while your gallery will be undeniably stunning, I believe your wedding should be a raw reflection of your true, unfiltered story—void of clichés and outdated rules. It’s about celebrating your legacy, your way, elevated above the pressures of what a wedding ‘should’ look like. I am a big dreamer at heart, which is so lucky my job doesn’t feel like a job!
My heart lies in a wedding day told true to each couple, whether that is a chic London city wedding, a wholesome countryside house in the Cotswolds or the intentionality of destination weddings and intimate elopements—the celebrations that allow me the creative space to capture your connection in a way that feels as cinematic and unique as your own history. I am drawn to deep, palpable emotion and the quiet luxury of a raw moment at every part of the wedding day.
For the past two years I have won the International Wedding Photographer of the year 2025 and UK Wedding Photographer of the year 2026 with UKWHA.

“From the moment we met her, we knew we were in the best hands -but somehow she still exceeded every expectation.
She has this calm, confident presence that instantly puts you at ease. Nothing felt forced or overly posed. She gave just enough direction to make us feel comfortable, while still capturing the most natural, emotional moments. She sees light, angles, and tiny in-between expressions in a way that feels like pure magic.”

Visually Poetic & Emotive Imagery
Honest Photographs, told with an Editorial eye & A Poetic heart.
As a London Wedding Photographer I have spent over a decade photographing love stories and a HUGE part of my job is empathy. Reading a room and knowing when to have positive energy and get the fun photos. And when to be quiet and blend into the background. It is helping where needed. Holding a door open, helping fasten a dress and carrying glasses and guiding gently. As well as taking the best photos possible.
My work is 90% completely natural. From prep to ceremony to speeches and the evening. And that little 10% is where I help to make sure your ‘posed’ photography is stunning. I manage group photos with a organised, light-touch approach that takes the pressure off you. For your couple photos, I look to create a mix of elegant, natural and vogue-worthy portraits. But this is not about placing you in a position never to move again. This is about letting your day unfold naturally while still allowing you to look your best. I also give other small bits of guidance to help the day run smoothly in terms of photos. Such as moving closer to a window light when your doing something important.
“A very unimposing presence, I was so pleased when we got our gallery back and looked at all of the special moments she had captured – I had no memory of her being there at certain moments! She absolutely exceeded all expectations. She is an Artist”

My portfolio is a passport to some of the world’s most stunning landscapes. I travel anywhere for Love, having been across Europe and beyond. I am a frequent traveller to Italy, specialising in destination wedding photography across the rolling hills of Tuscany and Umbria, the white-stone elegance of Puglia, and the iconic, sun-drenched shores of Lake Como, Lake Garda, and the Amalfi Coast.
I look to create heartfelt images for each of my wedding couples. Making sure that you can soak in each element of the day. I work with you to design a timeline that works for photography while sitting within your schedule. I will always be honest and state what is possible in certain timeframes or where we might need more time to make the magic happen.

Cotswolds Wedding Photographer
As a Cotswolds wedding photographer, I am endlessly inspired by the timeless romance and ethereal light of the English countryside. My approach is rooted in a natural, editorial style that complements the region’s iconic honey-toned stone and rolling landscapes.
Whether you are planning a high-fashion, high-energy celebration or an intimate, candlelit dinner, I focus on capturing the ‘quiet luxury’ of your day. Venues such Caswell House or Hyde House can give that quintessential charm or the grandeur to Estelle Manor. By blending a documentary heart with a Vogue-inspired aesthetic, I ensure your gallery feels both authentically raw and effortlessly polished, preserving the sophisticated atmosphere of a luxury Cotswolds wedding.
Having moved out of London to the Cotswolds about 5 years ago, I was thrilled to have such stunning backdrops on my doorstep. Form growing up in a small village in Devon, moving to the big city of london and then settling in the Cotswolds- it gave me such a unique perspective on my photography. Being able to have the experience of London and develop that into photographing gorgeous Manor house weddings like Manor by the Lake as well a rustic barn venues like Oxleaze Barn. I know how to chase that stunning golden hour light through the fields and how to time it before it goes beyond that stunning tree line. having an experiences Cotswolds wedding photographer by your side is a must, especially to help hold your dress as you pop on your wellies between venues!
Oxford Wedding Photographer
Like the Cotswolds, Oxford has amazing charm. With a lot of my couples deciding to marry in the city centre- filled with stunning architecture and even a not to areas used in films.
I have been lucky enough to capture weddings at the Bodleian Library where I am a recommended supplier as well as many of the colleges where my couples are often Alumni. Being able to navigate an oxford wedding takes skill! Even through there is stunning architecture everywhere you turn, knowing which tiny back streets to go down is a must. How light hits a certain street during golden hour as well as which parts of Oxford Town Centre get the busiest at certain times of day. I have you covered! I can help you plan your logistics and have made photographing wedding venues in Oxfordshire my specialism, having added it to my repertoire alongside london and the Cotswolds.
Destination Wedding Photographer
As an International Destination Wedding Photographer, I believe your gallery should be as breathtaking as the landscape you’ve chosen.

My lens travel wherever your heart leads—from the turquoise horizons of the Seychelles and the vibrant, architectural wonders of Marrakech to the golden light of Greece and beyond.

LONDON Wedding Photographer
As a London wedding photographer specialising in luxury city celebrations, I know that every chapter of your day carries its own weight. From the high-fashion editorial details to those raw, candid exchanges, I capture the full narrative of your central london wedding. Having lived in London for over 10 years, I know the city like the back of my hand. From how the sun sets differently between the buildings. To the logistics of packing light to hop of a red router bus with all of your guests. You want to hire a photographer who knows the city.
I understand the logistical dance of a city wedding, which is why I never shy away from group portraits: I simply manage them with an organised, light-touch approach that takes the pressure off you. Your day isn’t a directed photoshoot-it’s a celebration o those love in the heart of the city. My goal is to let your day unfold naturally while I secure those iconic, Vogue-worthy portraits that feel both effortless and authentically yours.
I know the challenges of navigating a city wedding, such as going from your London Town hall Wedding to your reception venue. Or having a wedding at Syon Park where if this is in the glasshouse it will be a later ceremony where you might be chasing the golden hour just before that call to dinner time. You want to be able to choose a London Wedding photographer that completely understands your logistics. Unlike marrying in the countryside where there are fields and manor houses, London has traffic, members of the public and unpredictable elements- but here lies the fun! Each London wedding is uniquely different. From hopping on the tube for some fun photos to a chich bar in Mayfair. Photographing London weddings in the city is second nature to me and something I can truly help with the logistics and planning of the wedding day.
Many of your family might be coming from all of the country or the world to celebrate with you. So my couples often want to show them the sights. With many parts of a London wedding taking place across the city. Such as getting ready in the Landmark Hotel, Wedding Ceremony at Marylebone Town Hall and then a reception at Kew Gardens. Often reflecting a couples style or places they have loved to visit.
