The sun was shining, the party was swinging, and the love was flowing. Stuart and Chrissie celebrated their wedding at The Old Cow Shed, surrounded by all the joy you dream of for a day like theirs. Every generation was ready to party – and party they did. What a celebration! 🥂✨

Couple portraits—who really needs them?

Well, turns out, everyone does! While I’ve been sharing more documentary-style shots lately, I believe couple portraits are just as important.

These aren’t your typical “smile at the camera” photos. They’re real, raw, and authentic moments.

After 16 years of photographing weddings, I’ve learned how to connect with couples quickly—understanding what makes them laugh, feel comfortable, and be themselves. It’s all about creating that space and then capturing it.

Here’s a few of my favorite couple shots. Hope you love them!

Here’s a little glimpse into my 2024 faves! A mix of moments and portraits that truly capture my style and approach on a wedding day. 📸✨ Documentary photography is where my heart’s at — I’ve always been drawn to street photography, so you might spot the occasional street shot in my stories on Sundays (for a fun twist!). For me, documentary isn’t just about snapping away, it’s about being in the right place at the right time, thinking fast, and capturing those raw, emotional moments that tell the story of the day. No posing, no faking — just real, honest moments. It’s a challenge, but one I’m always up for!
