Relaxed, unobtrusive south yorkshire wedding and lifestyle photographer
I’m someone who feels things deeply. I notice the quiet glances, the nervous laughs, the way someone squeezes a hand when no one else is looking - and I think that’s why I care so much about photography. I’m calm on the outside (even if there’s a mild internal monologue running at all times), warm, a little bit sweary, and completely invested in the people I work with. I don’t do loud (unless I'm trying to wrangle 100+ people for a group photo) or performative - I do real, grounded and meaningful. I care about doing things properly. About making people feel comfortable. About creating photographs that still feel honest in ten, twenty, thirty years’ time.
THE JOURNEY BEHIND THE LENS
I’m a Sheffield-based photographer with a passion for capturing real, timeless, story-led moments. Photography has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember - from teenage house parties with a compact camera to studying Photography at Sheffield Hallam University, where I completed my BA (Hons).
I’ve always been slightly obsessed with documenting life as it happens - to the point where my sister used to say, “Can you put that camera away now?” (she doesn't say this now hahaha).
My parents bought me my first DSLR when I was 16 and have always encouraged me to chase what I love. I photographed my first wedding that same year, never imagining it would become my career. But here we are - and I feel like this is exactly what I’m meant to be doing. I’m incredibly grateful that this is my job, and I love the people I get to meet along the way - clients and colleagues alike.
During and after university, I spent my summers in Wisconsin, USA, teaching and photographing at a large summer camp. Long days capturing thousands of moments pushed my creativity and deepened my love for storytelling. Afterwards, I road-tripped across 16 states in the USA and Canada - a proper American adventure, my love for travel was well and truly cemented.
My business started a long time ago. Fresh out of my GCSEs, I was photographing anything I could get my hands on - weddings, gigs, promotional work, you name it. I just wanted to take photographs and document everything.
When I returned from my final summer in the USA in 2019, I decided it was time to take things seriously and build something properly. Then… Covid hit. Like it did for so many of us, it paused plans and reshaped timelines.
In August 2021, I became fully self-employed.
It’s been one of the most challenging and rewarding journeys of my life. I’m constantly growing - not just my business, but myself - refining, learning, and building something I’m truly proud of.
The personal but Important Stuff
- I live in Sheffield with my other half James. We have been together since January 2021. He is my BFF. We have known each other since Secondary school.
- I'm originally from Cumbria - the Lake District, moved to Chesterfield when I was 8.
- I love to spend time with my family.
- Lilly and Rosie are my family sausage dogs who I am utterly obsessed with. They live with my parents.
- I love going on holiday, and traveling, seeing new places.
- I'm a coffee snob (I won't drink instant coffee), an oat milk latte from a speciality coffee shop is where it's at.
- I drink too much Yorkshire tea.
- I have an obsession with the film Interstellar, I'm not sure if it is the Cinematography, the Composer, Matthew McConaughey, or just the storyline, I have never watched anything that has enticed me so much.
- Most of what comes out of my mouth is a swear word of some description. So apologies in advance.
- I love warm weather.
- I don't trust people who don't like animals.
- I'm going to be honest, I love binge watching a good season. TV shows I love - Friends (obvs), Stranger Things, Greys Anatomy, This Is Us, Virgin River.
- I value printing photos so much, I wish I could print every photo I take. There is nothing better than the physical object of a photograph in your hands.
the best part of this job is the people
If This Sounds Like You
Relaxed.
Trusting.
Down-to-earth.
People who care about meaningful photos, not forced poses.
Who want to be present, not perform.
Who value connection over perfection.
If you’re nodding along - we’re probably a good fit.
