welcome to my blog


I'm so happy you're here! This little corner is where I share the stories behind the photos—capturing love, connection, and creativity across the Isle of Wight and the South Coast.

Weddings full of heart
From elegant estates to windswept clifftop vows, I photograph weddings with a focus on real emotion, relaxed moments, and all the joyful in-betweens. If you love timeless imagery and a touch of fun, you’re in the right place.

Family moments, beautifully told
Think golden light, sandy toes, muddy boots, and all the cuddles. My family photography celebrates your people exactly as they are—full of love, laughter, and life. Because these days are too precious not to remember.

Personal brands with personality
Your brand deserves imagery that feels as good as it looks. Whether you're a creative entrepreneur, small biz owner, or passionate maker, I help bring your vision to life with photos that are stylish, scroll-stopping, and so you.

So grab a cuppa, have a scroll, and let’s celebrate the stories that matter most.

Branding Shoots with Amber & Wight – A Story of Calm Luxury by the Sea

Amber, the founder, is a woman with passion, purpose, and an extraordinary gift for making women feel seen, nurtured, and beautifully cared for. Her bespoke facial treatments go far beyond skincare—they’re an escape from the everyday. And that sense of escape, of calm, was at the very heart of our branding sessions.

There’s something really special about working with a brand that knows exactly who it is—and who it’s here to serve. My recent branding photography shoots with Amber & Wight, a high-end beauty and facial specialist based here on the Isle of Wight, were just that: a dream collaboration steeped in calm, vision, and pure luxury.

Amber, the founder, is a woman with passion, purpose, and an extraordinary gift for making women feel seen, nurtured, and beautifully cared for. Her bespoke facial treatments go far beyond skincare—they’re an escape from the everyday. And that sense of escape, of calm, was at the very heart of our branding sessions.

Shoot One: Coastal Calm at Priory Bay, Seaview

We began with a sunrise shoot at Priory Bay in Seaview, a hidden gem of a location that perfectly matched Amber’s serene and luxurious aesthetic. The sea was beautifully still, the tide out, and the beach blissfully quiet—just us and the soft whisper of waves.

Amber moved gracefully through the landscape, barefoot and present, embodying the calm confidence her treatments bring to her clients. The whole experience felt like a breath of fresh sea air: elegant, slow, and soulful. These images capture the essence of what Amber & Wight offers—space to exhale, reconnect, and feel your best self again.

Shoot Two: Serenity Inside the Studio

Our second shoot took place in the tranquil surroundings of Amber’s gorgeous treatment space. From the moment I walked in, it felt like entering a spa sanctuary. The air was scented delicately, the treatment couch was prepped with freshly laundered linen, and everything was styled to reflect intention and care.

During this session, I photographed Amber treating clients to her signature facials—gentle massage, hydrating masks, intuitive touch. Every frame told the story of her bespoke approach to skincare. It’s more than a beauty treatment; it’s time carved out for you.

What’s Next: Headshots & Product Photography

Our next shoot will focus on capturing fresh, professional headshots of Amber—perfect for her website and social media presence—as well as photographs of her carefully curated product range styled naturally within her salon space.

I’m really looking forward to it. I love being in her space, where every detail is so considered and calming. And working with such a passionate, forward-thinking businesswoman is always inspiring. I can’t wait to tell the next chapter of her brand story through imagery.

If you’re a female-led brand looking to elevate your visual identity with intentional, luxury branding photography, let’s chat. I love helping passionate women like Amber bring their vision to life.
