Welcome to my wedding photography blog!



According to the vet charity PDSA, 27% of adults in the UK own a dog. So by my reckoning, that means that roughly one in ten weddings in the UK involve one dog owner marrying another dog owner. This raises the question of what marrying couples actually do with their pets during the wedding day itself. While many doubtless call in their local dog-sitter, one couple whose wedding I photographed recently had a rather different idea. When K and J got married at MacDonald Bath Spa Hotel last year, they decided not just to bring their dogs, but to invite their guests to do so too!

The idea worked brilliantly, as all the dogs were extremely well-behaved, and were happy to pose for pictures with their humans....

I particularly loved the rather fetching apparel the dogs were sporting!

Squatting down enabled me to get a dog's eye view of the wedding in progress and I loved it :-)

All in all, the wedding was an absolutely wonderful celebration of the couple's love for each other - and their four-legged friends.

A baptism is such a special occasion — a day filled with love, joy, and blessings that you’ll want to remember forever. Whether it’s taking place in one of Bath’s beautiful historic churches or during a smaller family gathering, professional baptism photography helps you relive every precious moment for years to come.
Bath is one of the most picturesque cities in the UK, making it the perfect setting for baptism photography. From the golden stone architecture to the soft natural light, Bath offers a timeless and elegant backdrop for family portraits.
Many local families choose to hold their ceremonies in iconic Bath churches such as Bath Abbey, St Mary’s Catholic Church, or St Michael’s Without, all of which provide stunning spaces for photography. As a Bath photographer, I love capturing the emotion and beauty of these moments — the proud smiles, tiny hands, and all the little details that make each baptism unique.
Every baptism photography session in Bath is tailored to your family and your day. Typically, your session can include:
Coverage of the baptism ceremony at your chosen local church in Bath
Natural, relaxed family portraits afterward
Candid shots that capture genuine emotions and joyful moments
Professionally edited images that reflect the warmth and meaning of the occasion
If you’re planning a baptism in Bath and looking for a local photographer who understands the importance of these moments, I’d love to help. My approach is friendly, relaxed, and focused on capturing real emotion and connection. Please contact me at [email protected]

Surprise & Engagement & Proposal at the Botanical Gardens in Bath
One of the most heartwarming moments I’ve had the pleasure to capture recently was a beautiful surprise proposal at the Botanical Gardens & Temple of Minerva in Bath. Somerset

The couple had travelled all the way from Peru to experience the charm and romance of this historic city — and what better place to get engaged than in one of Bath’s most picturesque green spaces?


Despite a little rain on the day, the love and excitement between them shone through. The weather didn’t dampen their spirits in the slightest — in fact, the soft light and gentle drizzle added a uniquely romantic atmosphere to the moment.
As a local photographer based in Bath, just a short walk from the Botanical Gardens and Temple of Minerva, I feel incredibly lucky to work in such a beautiful part of the world.
I specialise in engagement photography, surprise proposals, and couple sessions — all tailored to reflect each couple’s unique story and vision.

Whether you're visiting from abroad or planning a local engagement, I’m here to help you create a relaxed, joyful experience — and to capture every genuine emotion along the way. Bath offers an incredible variety of romantic backdrops, and I’ll help you make the most of it.
