Wedding planning can feel like a lot, and choosing a photographer is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make.
These photos are how you’ll remember it all - the people, the emotions, and the weird little moments that made it yours.

So here’s my take on weddings, and what really matters to me when I’m photographing your day.

I BET YOU ARE BOTH SO SUPER EXCITED RIGHT NOW

SO WHAT COMES NEXT?

a protector of stories

I've spent the last fifteen years telling stories all around the world.

No endless posing, no bossing you around. Just honest photos of you and the people you love.

I focus on the moments that actually matter. The laughter, the hugs, and the tiny details you might miss on the day but will want to remember years from now.

I work with couples who care deeply about their wedding, but don’t want to micromanage it. Big or small, messy or beautifully organised, your day should feel like you. I’m there to capture it without slowing you down.

Your photos should make you smile, laugh, and take you straight back to how it felt.

I step back, notice what you don’t see, and tell your story honestly, so when you look back, it feels like you’re right there again.

the non-negotiables:

one hell of
a party

THE

NON-NEGOTIABLES

01

You want a chilled-out, fun, relaxed wedding.

You want to make your own rules, do things your way, and enjoy every single moment of it, surrounded by the people who know and love you best.

02

Hate posing for photos. Don't worry, I've got you.

I don't want to bend you into weird positions or get you to gaze off into the distance. I want big hugs, nose snorts, incredible laughter, the real moments of you being you!

03

Your wedding is NOT a photoshoot.

There, I said it. You’ve poured your heart into this day. So yes, photography matters,
but I firmly believe that you should be enjoying the day you have worked so hard to have.

Eat the food.
Drink the drinks.
Hug the people you love.

BANG 

FOR YOUR

BUCK

The laughter, the chaos,
the little moments you feel in your bones 

your photos hold them forever.

I photograph the full story of your day.

Arriving a few hours before the ceremony for prep and staying for the dancing when the party is in full swing. You get the moments in between, not just the big ones.

No rushed coverage. No gaps in the story.

Kirsty just 'got us' and totally made everything a breeze. We were drawn to Kirsty because of her candid style + our time with her was so much fun. Thank you for being the best.

Charlotte + Lloyd

Kirsty stood out from all other photographers with how friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and funny she was. She made the process of wedding planning less stressful and ultimately made the day itself even better! 

Teresa + James

My granny has only been able to look at a few at a time - happy tears! 

Beth + Ben

Thank you Kirsty from the bottom of our hearts for being the most amazing wedding photographer we could have wished for!!

Laura + George

We keep having Kirsty back. First my sister's wedding, then our engagement + wedding and now to capture our kids.

I PUT MY

HEART + SOUL

INTO THIS

I've got answers.

Questions? 

Don't see your question?
Drop me a line and I will get back to you


01

WHERE ARE YOU BASED & DO YOU TRAVEL?

I live in a little village in Hampshire, it is very green and muddy and very country. And yes, I love to travel, around the UK or abroad. I have a passport and would love to hop onto a plane and explore somewhere new.

02

WHO COMES TO THE WEDDING?

It is always me (always) and if you have a second photographer booked I call upon one of my super lovely, talented photography friends to come along and help me out for the day. They all have a very similar style and approach to me, you will be in safe hands.

03

DO YOU DO FORMAL / GROUP SHOTS?

Yes absolutely, they are a must have at a wedding but if you're after a photographer that is going to work off a long list of group snaps, then I'm definitely not the photographer for you. Try to keep it to 5 or 6 groups so you can get on with the most important thing - HAVING THE BEST DAY EVER!

04

DO YOU NEED FOOD +
A BED AND WILL IT COST EXTRA?

If I am traveling a long way from Hampshire or finishing super late then a bed is sometimes needed. Travel is included within 40 miles of Hampshire. For weddings further afield, there’s a flat rate of £150 to cover an overnight stay before the wedding (and if needed, the night of). That’s it—no hidden extras!

Food – yes please, a hot meal whilst you guys are eating would be fab, then I am ready to
rock when you have finished.

05

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU ARE ILL ON THE DAY?

I am lucky enough to be part of a super-doooooooper
network of photographers, all over the UK and we all have each others backs. In the unlikely event
anything happened to me, I could quickly get another photographer with a very similar style to shoot in my place.

06

WE HATE HAVING OUR PHOTOS TAKEN... HELP!

Don’t worry, i've got you. Nearly every couple I work with tells me this. Will it feel weird having someone follow you around with a camera, YES, for the first 5 minutes or so. But the way I work means it will feel super chill, less like a photoshoot and more like we are hanging out.

07

ARE YOU INSURED?

YES, YES, YES, I am fully insured for both public liability and professional indemnity up to £5 million .
You would have to be a bit of a numpty not to be. 

08

CAN YOU PENCIL US IN OR HOLD OUR DATE?


Unfortunately no. Due to the number of enquiries I receive, your wedding date is only secure once you've paid the booking fee and completed the booking form and contract.

09

HOW MANY IMAGES DO WE GET & WHEN DO WE GET THEM?

The number of images varies depending on your coverage, but if I’m with you for the whole day, you can expect at least 500 fully edited photos.

I don’t rush the editing, I take my time to make sure every image looks its best. Your full gallery will be ready to view and download within 6-10 weeks. If anything changes, I’ll drop you an email to keep you updated.

10

WHAT CAN/CAN’T WE DO WITH THE IMAGES?

This is a good questions and an important one. I talk about it more in my T+C’s but overall I hold
the copyright and you get the reproduction rights to
your images so you can share, email, print, create, as often as you like and as much as you like. All I kindly asks is that you not edit the images when sharing on social media as this may in turn create a false impression of my photography style.

11

CAN WE MEET BEFORE WE BOOK?

Yes! I think it is super important to talk beforehand. I’m based near Winchester, Hampshire but if logistics don't allow for that, we can do what most couples do, and arrange a Zoom / FaceTime / Google-hang.

12

WE WANT YOU - WHAT'S NEXT?

Yay! This is exciting! Drop me a message, and I’ll check if your date is available. We can chat through all the details, because the more I know about you, the better.

When you’re ready to book, I’ll send over a booking form. A £750 non-refundable booking fee secures your date, and then… that’s it! It’s official! 

“Just blaaaady   BOOK HER
You won't ever regret it”
