FINDING MY LOVE
SINCE 2001
I had wanted to be a photographer from the moment I held a camera. But it was my love of music and photography that started me on my career path.
In 2001, I began my career photographing the music scene for top international music magazines, brushing shoulders with the stars.
I have owned a busy city centre photography studio where I worked with high-profile celebrity, fashion and commercial clients and design agencies.
Instead of music magazines, these days my work is now featured in wedding publications such as; Martha Stewart, Brides, Vogue, In Style, Style me pretty and many others.
I have completed 3 university degrees with distinction in Photography, Fine Art and I am also a qualified Teacher. I then taught photography in our local city college and university until capturing love stories lead me to exotic locations around the world.
I fell head over heels with wedding photography. So where else would a romantic photographer go, but to the City of Love itself… Paris!
I truly believe that when we find ourselves in the right place at the right time, incredible things can happen.
I never imagined I would meet my true love, right there in the city of love. It was in 2015 and it was just like stepping out of a romantic novel. Read our love story
My husband Chris, runs Zen Film Works and works with me to produce gorgeous cinematic films alongside my photography. Just get in touch and we can begin your journey.
When it comes to your wedding, I’m looking to capture your relationship in all of its complex, magnificent glory. I want the incredibly high-end photographs we take together to give you goosebumps every time you look at them. In short, I want you to look and feel amazing.

In 2014, I was commissioned to document Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s visit to Paris at The British Embassy over three days – they were the three most surreal days of my life.
The most special moment was photographing The Investiture. I was in the most beautiful Parisian room with no more than 20 people. This included The Queen, Yeomen and guests. She had such an ethereal presence. It was truly a ‘I need to nip myself’ moment.
These images were then printed in magazines and newspapers and televised all over the world.

AND MORE...
In the spring of 2013, I sold everything I had and left England with my camera and a single suitcase and headed to Paris in search of adventure. I had always dreamed of moving to France, I was borderline obsessed with it. But never thought I would.
However, when I found myself single, in my thirties, bored and craving something new, I thought to myself, if I don’t do this now, when will I? So off I went. It is the single best decision I have ever made.
Paris had been popping up on my radar for a while. Perhaps subconsciously I had been searching for it. I got my sign when I heard that an ex-student had moved to Paris for love. I immediately felt the urge to contact her and pick her brains about living there: she made it sound so easy.
I had nothing holding me back except fear of the unknown. I had nothing to lose, but it still felt like a wildly risky move. I had two choices: stay in England and forever wonder what could have been or take a leap of faith into the unknown.
In the end, I chose adventure and I’m so very pleased I did.
Moving to Paris changed my life in many ways. I’ve found a place where I feel totally at peace.
A place that has taught me everything there is to know about love, life and – above all – myself.
*Update: In 2019 we re-located back to the UK and still have an office in Paris.
