Celebrating Connections

 

Intimate Weddings



Alongside portrait and lifestyle sessions, I offer thoughtful coverage for intimate weddings and location-based celebrations. These offerings are designed for couples who value presence, connection, and a calm, considered approach, rather than long, high-pressure coverage.

Coverage is gently guided, allowing genuine moments to unfold naturally.

All options include planning support, light timeline guidance, and a curated gallery of fully edited images.

What’s Included in Every Option


  • A pre-wedding planning conversation
  • Gentle timeline guidance (without over-structuring the day)
  • Location and light guidance specific to the venue
  • A carefully curated gallery of fully edited, high-resolution images
  • Professional print and framing options
  • Travel and logistics are included for locations within one hour of Kensington. For venues requiring additional travel time, a fixed travel and logistics fee applies.
  • Coverage is provided personally by me, ensuring a consistent, calm presence throughout the day.
