“Moments of stillness, light and landscape continue to shape how I see.”

Historic places bring a sense of permanence, scale and quiet drama to the stories I photograph.

Every wedding is different — shaped by culture, place, light, and the people who matter most.
My approach is simple: observe quietly, guide gently, and create images that feel as real in twenty years as they do today.
From intimate ceremonies to grand celebrations, I photograph moments that cannot be repeated — only remembered.
If my work speaks to you, I would be honoured to tell your story.
