My philosophy

 

FUN, CALM, & HUMAN

I want you to have a good time, not a stressful one. My approach is natural, relaxed, and focused on capturing real moments as they unfold, whilst helping you feel completely at ease in front of the camera. Of course we’ll make time for those important family photos (Grandma included!), but I won’t keep you away from your day with endless group shots. Your wedding is about genuine connection—the hugs with friends you’ve missed, your mum’s happy tears, and those quiet moments together. And if the rain makes an appearance? We’ll embrace it, dance in the puddles, and turn it into something unforgettable.

Testimonials

Thank you so much for the most stunning wedding photos we could have ever imagined! Seeing them for the first time gave us that feeling of ‘not knowing what you want until you see it’. The photos are so artistic and beautifully capture the feel of our wedding. On the day, Lara was wonderful, making sure we had everything we’d asked for but also being so discrete during the ceremony and taking candid photos throughout the day. It was also a privilege to have somebody so warm and genuine throughout. As a first (and hopefully for the last time) bride, I didn’t know how important it would be to have someone there that made you feel so comfortable, especially considering these will be the photos we will look back on forever. With Lara, we were completely at ease despite me typically being very awkward in front of the camera.


Thank you so much for the memories we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
