Isn’t this lil girl just too cute for words.. I had the privilege of photographing her and her Yummy Mummy last week and couldn’t wait to introduce her to  you:

Rob and Hailz, many congratulations on your beautiful little girl! x





I had the privilege of photographing this lil guy when he was only a couple of weeks old. It was brilliant photographing Jessie and Michael again and seeing how much their lives had changed in the last year – they’d gone from being an excited and amazing couple on their wedding day at Beauberry House to being loving and doting parents. They absolutely adore their GraphiStudio WeddingBook so for this session we’ve done a special GraphiStudio Portrait Book and I love it – it shows so many of Shawn’s expressions!

I think the image above and the one below (which is my favourite favourites from the portrait session) must be any new moms favourite – when their little one is blissfully asleep! :-)

Micheal & Jessie, congratulations on your wonderful addition to the family! xx





After Darren and Shaminder’s Sikh wedding ceremony, their wedding celebration was held at Savill Court in Windsor. We had a great time photographing their wedding day and being able to  do their couple portraits in the grounds at Saville Court was the icing on the (wedding) cake. I loved shooting with all the autumn colours in the late afternoon sunshine..

Below are some of my favourite images from their bridal portraits. Please feel free to leave comments :-)

A gorgeous couple with a gorgeous future together.. wishing you much love and happiness x

A big thank  you to  my sister, Ilze from ShotGirl Productions, who was the second photographer on this occassion. It’s so much fun being able to photograph together and I hope we get to do so more often in the coming years.





You may recognise some of the next images as within days of my having finished the post-production on these I launched my new look website late last year, and of course I had to make sure these were on there!

The gorgeous Shaminder and Darren were married at the Gurdwara in Ealing in a Sikh wedding ceremony (also called the “Anand Karaj“) in late October. It was another gorgeous autumn day, but of course this was an Asian wedding so colour abounded! We had such an amazing day photographing these two and their friends and family..

The reception was held at Savill Court, Windsor (more about that to follow in the next post).

Their dream team included:
Caterers: The Clay Oven
DJ: Highnote Entertainment/DJ Gurpreet

After the ceremony, we went back to Shaminder’s parents home which was the perfect opportunity for us to get a few portraits of her.

0285 The post-wedding rituals of a traditional Sikh wedding consist of vidaai or doli ceremony. It is a very emotional affair for the bride’s family. As the bride departs from her parent’s house, she throws back handful of rice over her shoulder, thereby wishing prosperity for her parents and family, which she leaves behind to start a new life with new dreams and aspirations.

Many congratulations to you both. What an amazingly colourful and emotional wedding ceremony!

The amazing Bee and Joss were married at The All Saints Church in Wimbish in early October. This couple is just too sweet for words and I had a wonderful time capturing their day! Their day was made extra special with tons of little personal touches from recreating a photograph from Bee’s grandparents and parents weddings outside the All Saints Church, to Bee’s sister special sweet table at the Reid Rooms, their family tree with photographs of their family past and present, wedding cake and cupcakes made by friends and family and of course last but very much not least the gorgeous fairy lights and lantern lit dance floor, inspired by their engagement in Disneyland. Oh and did I mention the bagpiper and sword arch created by the bridal party outside the church?!

Their dream team included:
Bouquets: Mulberry Flowers
Catering: Anna Chutes  Catering
Piper: Roy from Cambridge Bagpiper
Music/DJ:  DNA Disco
Venue: The Reid Rooms, Essex

Below are some of my favourite images from their day. Friends and family can view all the images on the online gallery. Please ask Joss and Bee for the password or get in contact with me.

Joss and Bee’s wedding reception was at The Reid Rooms.. (I thought I’d try a little bit of cross-processing in developing the next few images – do let me know what you think please!)

These two are after my own heart and I love their spirit of adventure! For their honeymoon and starting life together as husband and wife these two have packed their bags and are travelling around the world together.. what an amazing experience to be sharing.. and although friends and family have gifted amazing experiences along the way, it’s not just been about the two of them but also about what they can do to help along the way.. for example looking after turtles in Costa Rica! It’s been really special following their story over the last couple of months. I love this image – Joss was reminding Bee of what it was going to be like under the mosquito net in Costa Rica! :-)

Joss and Bee, wishing you a life long bond of friendship, happiness and many fun and exciting adventures along the way. Thank you for picking me to be the lucky girl to photograph your wedding! You two are amazing! xx

A big thank you to Angie for all her help at The Reid Rooms on the day, to Bee’s girls for being so kind and warm and of course Joss’ brother for being my ‘lighting assistant’ during their creative shoot! :-) Thanks so much!





In late August I had the privilege of photographing the vivacious Claire and Gary’s wedding at St Mary’s in Wimbledon Village (just up the road from us!). Their wedding reception followed at the Bingham Hotel in Richmond and it was the perfect day to be enjoying the sunshine out on the terrace next to the river.

Below are some of my favourite images from their day. Friends and family can view all the images on the online gallery which is here. Please ask Gary and Claire for the password or get in contact with me.
