"Your photographs reflect your wonderful personality and natural talent."
— Julie & Stuart
Why I do this
I love watching the wedding day unfold — the transformation of the bride, seeing Dad cry at the sight of his daughter so perfect and beautiful, only matched by the gasp of the groom as he catches the first glimpse of his bride.
I see every detail through my viewfinder. I am proud and privileged to be sharing your wedding day with you, and I really want it to be perfect for you. I do everything in my power to ensure it is.
Our wedding experience starts by meeting at your chosen venue to discuss the photography locations, offering tips and advice on planning to ensure your day runs smoothly. I am with you every step of the way.
Tell me about your dayWhat I offer
Full day coverage from bridal preparations to the first dance. I capture the ceremony, portraits, details, and every unscripted moment in between. Your photographs are hand-finished and delivered within six weeks.
A relaxed shoot before your big day — a chance for us to get to know each other and for you to feel completely at ease in front of my camera. Invaluable practice for the wedding day itself.
I visit your venue before the wedding to understand the character of the space, plan where the light falls best, and know exactly where I want to take you both for those wow moments.
Bespoke, handmade luxury albums from The Beautiful Book — available in Fine Art, metallic, and landscape formats, presented in a beautiful box. Each one designed around your photographs, your story.
A true creative
I started photography before digital, aged just 16. I was talented enough to be accepted into Chelsea College of Art and the University of the Arts, where I studied for my degree — and I loved it. That education developed me as both an artist and a person.
I spent 10 years working in Graphic Design, progressing to Design Manager level. But everything changed when I photographed my first wedding in 2008. I knew immediately I had found something.
Being a photographer is a fabulous job — meeting really lovely people at very exciting times in their lives. I work hard to provide you with a set of photographs that I know you will love and cherish, and I wouldn't change this for the world.
After a break during the pandemic years, I am back — and honestly more grateful than ever to be doing what I love.
From the couples
"Thank you for making our wedding awesome. You have truly captured the nature of the day. Your enthusiasm and excitement helped make it all such fun — you created a perfect atmosphere for everyone to enjoy."
"Oh Debbie, they are absolutely amazing. Gorgeous! I love them. There are so many which are my favourites! Thank you for your hard work and immense talent."
"They are the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen. These have brought back so many memories already from that day. I cannot express how amazing they all are."
"Gosh, we can't tell you how brilliant you made our day. So many of our guests commented on what a lovely photographer we had! Your energy is brilliant!"
"We love the photos — they are really fantastic. I didn't realise how much I was grinning through the day. You were amazing and everyone loved you!"
"You have captured both the love and fun of our day so perfectly I could not have picked a better photographer. Your photographs reflect your wonderful personality and natural talent."
How it works
Get in touch to check your date. We'll have a relaxed conversation about your day — no pressure, just a chance to see if we're right for each other.
I'll meet you at your chosen venue to plan the photography, understand the light, and discuss locations for your couple portraits and family groups.
I arrive early and stay late. I work quietly and unobtrusively, always looking for the moments — the winks, smiles, handshakes, kisses, laughs and tears.
Your photographs are hand-finished and delivered within six weeks. Then we sit together and re-live your day as you view the images for the very first time.
For winter couples
As the light fades, new opportunities arise. Using creative lighting, sparklers and fireworks I will add a touch of glamour to your winter wedding — creating some of the most dramatic and beautiful photographs I take all year.
The night shots I create are a real showpiece for your album. Don't let the season put you off — embrace it.
