MY APPROACH & STYLE
I capture every kind of wedding; from the grandest of stately homes with hundreds of guests to an elopement with just the two of you.
For me it’s all about the happy couple and documenting one of the most important days two people can ever share.
I’ve always wholeheartedly LOVED weddings! The anticipation and butterflies when you’re getting ready, the look in your lovers eyes when they first see you, the emotional tears from parents and friends when you say I DO, your first kiss, the happy tears, the tiny cake thief's (with it all around their chops), the hand-squeezes under the table, the stolen glances, the first dance you’ll take together as a newly married couple. I’ll be there to capture all the key moments of your day to all the little things that you’ll struggle to remember…because to me, it all matters.
Soft, Warm toned, Natural,
Romantic & Timeless.
My style is fly-on-the-wall documentary style photography with a touch of direction- shooting precious real moments of pure happiness as they unfold and capturing authentic emotions.
I’ve worked along side many couples and families, all with different personalities and confidence.
With gentle directiion and guidance I will help make you feel at ease, relaxed, enjoy the experience and most importantly you’ll come away with a gallery you’ll adore. So whether you like to sing from the roof tops, or you’re more of a humble wallflower, don’t worry- I’ve got you!
Whatever you need from me as your photographer,
I am there for you.
I approach every wedding with everything i’ve got , I’ll have my two cameras and array of lenses at the ready to capture those real moments as they naturally unfold, telling your story and the true authentic essence of you as a couple.
I am serious and dedicated about the job in hand but I will also blend in, mingle and tell the story as unobtrusively and creatively as possible. If you don’t notice me, i’m doing a good job! That said, for portraits and where needed I can provide gentle direction or suggestions to get the best photos possible. We will discuss beforehand if you’re wanting to keep it as natural as possible and if you’d like to go a little extra with some posed showstoppers.
I couldnt believe what she had captured AMAZING.
We chose Natalie for our wedding at Grantley Hall last September and she went above and beyond on the day to capture everything. We had discussed the style on the phone and met at the venue the day before as the grounds are amazing to make sure we got the best shots on the day and understand what would work.
The day was magical from start to finish, Natalie not only took exceptional pictures of us, directing our poses, but then captured us and all our guests having a ball, laughing, dancing, hugging so discretely we didn’t know she was there.
I still remember waking up the next morning and receiving the preview pictures, I couldn’t believe what she had captured A MA ZING. When we got the final pictures it felt like I was reliving the whole day again.

I know how excited you’ll be to see your photos after your wedding, that’s why I always edit a handful of mouthwateringly beautiful sneak peeks within the first week. The remaining album is typically ready within 6-8 weeks for peak season. This can be sooner, depending on workload.
When and how do I book you?

To secure your wedding date a booking fee of £300 is required and the remaining balance 28 days before your wedding. I am currently only taking wedding bookings up to a year in advance. As soon as you have a venue and a date, please get in touch to check my availability! I accept last minute spontaneous requests! so if you’re thinking of eloping, let’s go!
Will there be a second shooter?

I generally work alone, unless both preps are a priority and you're getting ready too far apart for me to cover this or you have a larger wedding. If you think you may need a second shooter, please let me know and I’ll arrange a quote depending on the level of experience shooter.
Do you do group photos?

I sure do! I tend to recommend keeping it to just close family and the bridal party as they can really eat into your time. 8-10 groups id usually perfect and should only take 20-30 minutes.
Do I include you within the table plan and feed you?

During the meal is when I take the time to back up my images. I usually find a quiet spot out of the way to set up. This is the perfect time as nobody wants their photograph taken whilst eating. I’ll have a bite to eat and recover some energy for the evening ahead. For a full day wedding a warm (vegetarian) dinner is really appreciated, but not essential. Just let me know either way, so I can bring a pack up if needed :-)
