The Girl Behind the Camera

—
I’m a dog-loving, chai tea obsessed, always-down-for-a-good-time gal who just so happens to have a passion for photography!
Born and raised in the stunning Pacific Northwest of America, I spent hot summers wandering through the woods and white winters dancing in the snow.
Photography has been one of my greatest passions and hobbies for over a decade and I initially honed my craft by roping friends into photoshoots all over the world- from Japan to Croatia!
Southampton, England is my current home but I am always available to travel throughout the UK and beyond.
Currently engaged to the most fun, cheeky and thoughtful man (Tom!) who has brought an immense amount of fun, joy, and enduring love into my life.
Most importantly, I love LOVE and it would be my honour to capture your own wild and unconditional love story!!

Word on the Street

'Summer was so welcoming and put us at ease right away. We were both a little nervous but she made the whole shoot so fun and enjoyable. We didn’t want it to end! The photos came out so beautiful and have perfectly captured this unique moment in our lives. We’ll definitely be using Summer again!'

FAQs

What is the booking process like?

First off, I would love to meet up over a cup of tea or coffee in the Portsmouth / Southampton area! If you are from farther afield, let's set up a Skype (or Zoom!) call to go over any questions you have and so that I can gain a better understanding of what's most important to you in your wedding photographer. If you decide that I am the right fit for you I will send across the paperwork and get your date reserved! I require a £500 booking fee (£250 for elopements) to secure your date and will turn away inquiries for your day beyond this point.

When will we receive our photos?

You will receive a sneak peak of 10+ edited images within 72 hours of your wedding. The full online gallery of your wedding will be made available to you within 30 days. For engagement sessions, I send out a sneak peak within 72 hours of 5+ edited images and the full gallery is delivered within 2 weeks.

Are you insured?

Of course! Like any professional I have full contents insurance, professional indemnity cover and public liability cover.

How many images will we receive?

The number of images you will receive depends on your chosen package and cover time, but I always deliver 300+ photos at minimum. I take more than enough photos and only choose the best of the best- that way you are able to relive these wonderful moments filled with joy and beauty for years to come.

What should I expect on the day?

Every wedding day is unique and special and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to wedding photography. However, what you can expect from me is that I will ensure your wedding day is stress-free and photography friendly! Prior to your big day we will discuss your personalised timeline to ensure there is plenty of space to get the shots you absolutely need and love. A general timeline tends to look like this:

Arrive early, get those adorable getting-ready shots, wedding detail shots, portraits of the bride and groom, a first-look session (if you want one!), the complete wedding party and family photos, venue and location shots, and full ceremony, dinner and reception coverage. All that, along with hundreds of candids of you and your guests- and my absolute favourite thing to shoot is the dance party at the end of the night!
