Hi, I'm Aimee
I'm a wedding photographer with a big love for capturing life's real and beautiful moments.
I am a documentary wedding photographer who believes your wedding day should feel like.. your wedding day, not a photoshoot. You won't find me lining you up, telling you where to stand or asking for you to 'do that again'.
I know being in front of a camera can feel a bit daunting, which is why I keep things easy and comfortable so you can just enjoy your day,
From the quiet, emotional moments to the big celebrations, I'm there to capture it all as it happens.
Before retraining in photography, I spent many years working as a wedding events manager, so I know the complexity of a wedding day inside out. That background helps me blend in seamlessly, stay one step ahead, and capture the moments that matter without ever being intrusive.
Weddings
It's an approach rooted in storytelling—capturing real moments as they unfold, rather than directing or staging them. If you're dreaming of wedding photos that feel candid, emotional, and authentically you, documentary-style photography might be exactly what you're looking for
family
photography
Captures unposed, candid, and raw moments of family life as they happen. Family photos capture more than just moments – they hold the stories, emotions, and connections that define our lives. In a fast-paced world, these images remind us of the love and joy we share with those closest to us.
Get in touch
Planning a wedding day is exciting (and overwhelming at times). Finding the right photographer shouldn't have to be. If you're looking for a natural, documentary style photographer who will capture your day and help tell your story please do send me a message and tell me about your day. I can't wait to hear all about your plans
