Here’s a sneak peek at some of my recent Rugby wedding images:
Your wedding day is a beautiful mix of emotions, energy, people and details — and my approach is designed to capture all of it naturally. I work with a relaxed, unobtrusive style so you can enjoy every moment while I quietly document the story unfolding around you.
From candid laughter during the morning preparations to the heartfelt moments during your ceremony and the joy of the evening celebrations, I photograph your day as it truly happens. When it’s time for portraits, I offer gentle guidance to help you feel comfortable without ever forcing anything staged or unnatural.
