EMBRACE
the ROMANCE
and ENJOY THE PROCESS
It’s my ultimate goal to make sure you have your very own authentic love story presented in the MOST beautiful, natural style. This is YOUR day and I want you to enjoy every single emotional, intoxicating moment to its fullest.
THE EXPERIENCE
A Tailored Process — Iconic Results.
I'm with you every step of the way. They’ll be no stuffy, awkward incidents and absolutely no embarrassing poses. Just you two being yourselves and me being ‘that lovely friend’ who can guide you through it all in the most chilled out vibe possible.
I shoot a mixture of documentary & creative fine art portraits. Meaning that you get the best of both. A real life story of your incredible day mixed with fabulous, creative works of art that you’d be proud to show off forever. My background in fashion photography and art direction means that you wont even have to try!

01
Its our CONNECTION
Being able to understand what it is you want before you've even needed to ask is my superpower. Blessed with empathy and compassion means that not only will I understand and solve all your apprehensive worries - I'll also stop this in its tracks before it's even had chance to manifest.
02
Its the ease of great art direction
Being able to comfortably convey and direct you throughout your time with me means that we can work seamlessly together without you feeling guarded or controlled.
03
Its my DEVOTION to your experience
From our initial discovery meeting right up to the delivery of your exquisite images, you'll experience my sincerity and the commitment I have towards your wedding day - and after too.
“We truly couldn't have dreamed of a better experience — every tiny detail was considered; every request mattered.”
— Jen & Aaron, Past Clients
“What we most appreciated about Teri and her team was their communication — quick, responsive, kind, and professional!”
— Beth & Darren, Past Clients
Teri was absolutely incredible to work with and went above and beyond our expectations and delivered us a suite of stunning photos that we will treasure forever.
I really cannot speak highly enough of Teri!
(She even flew to New Zealand for us!)
— Monique & Dan, Past Clients
“We unfortunately had to cancel last minute due to covid. Teri's response was amazing, and was so helpful. She even offered to help find another photographer as she wasn't available on the day that we rearranged for.
CUSTOMER SERVICE is as great as her photos.”
— David Wilson
HOW IT WORKS
After Your Initial Inquiry
Begin by filling out the form on my contact page and tell me a little about yourselves. From here, I'll be back in touch to arrange our first proposal meeting. This is easiest via a quick Zoom chat, although It's always lovely to meet in person.
Planning & Consulting
After your proposal meeting I'll be able to create a personal bespoke quote that fits you perfectly. Taking in to account your own idea's and creative input as well as the items you'd like delivered in the end production. For example wedding albums and prints.
Warming Up
Having a pre-wedding shoot means you'll be confident and experienced ahead of your wedding day. We'll get to know each other well and practice a few poses. You'll basically get comfortable being together in front of the camera plus the added bonus of having a beautiful set of images in your normal clothes.
Timeline, lists & schedules
We will have our final meeting via zoom FOUR weeks before your wedding day. This is where we go through the final timings of your day & collate all the relevant information about important group shots & events.
The Main Event
Starting 2-3 hours before your ceremony time and finish when I feel I have captured enough of the evening celebrations. I'll stay longer for additional firework moments and ALWAYS love to finish with a night time couples session. Making the most of the light and shadows we get at different times of the day.
Gallery Delivery Day
You'll receive a few highlights just a few days after your wedding. After that you'll receive your first set of images, a mini story of your day in an online gallery for sharing around your family and friends. When your full edit is ready everything will be uploaded to your gallery plus you'll receive the whole older as a digital download.
YOU SHOULD KNOW
You deserve to *enjoy* your day — hire a planner!
(And so do your friends and family.) Which is why we always LOVE to work with planners.
The best inspiration comes from life, not from Pinterest.
We are excited to work to make your images as original as you are. So let's leave that mood board for engagement shoot outfit inspo.
We love it when you bring us your ideas, then trust in the reason you hired us.
And if you give us freedom to create, we'll give you much more than the shot list.
Do whatever you can to truly be present.
Some traditions definitely kill the vibe but understandably have to be done — our favourite celebrations are with couples who are willing to do it their own way. (But we'll still do your groups of course).
Trust us – a great DJ is worth their weight in gold.
If you want to have a legendary night, you want people on the dance floor and you want them to not be hungry. Book the best.
Have the wedding you want, not the wedding they want.
Your friends just want to party with you. Don't get so caught up with keeping up that you forget to have fun.
"Teri is so lovely, fun and talented & professional.
we have never felt so comfortable having our photo taken."
— Sophie 2023 Bride
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
My specialty when it comes to content is as follows, and you can expect a standard of excellence, communication and cooperation.
Q. How far do you travel?
I'll travel anywhere for a great event. Normally though if your more than 3 hours away from my home on the south coast then I'd add a B&B for the night before.
Q. What if I want additional shooters?
I always have an assistant / 2nd shooter for large weddings (x200+) but on smaller events its often just me. You can of course add a 2nd shooter to your collection if your worried about fitting everything in.
Q. Can we add things at a later date?
Yes most definitely. On booking you can keep your collection simple and think about all the additional extra's nearer the time. When you have more space to think.
Q. Would you consider our overseas wedding?
I absolutely love destination weddings and often spend my summers at French chateau's.
Normally these are 3 day events so do ask for my special packages.
Q. What are your hours on a wedding day?
I don't have set hourly packages as every wedding has its own timeline. The standard is to start 2 hours before your ceremony and to finsh an hour after your first dance. But I'm always flexible.
Q. Do you charge for travel?
Travel within 3 hours of my home on the south coast is included. I wouldn't risk the traffic for a journey longer than that on your wedding day so a cheep B&B would be added for the night before.
Q. How long do I have to wait for my photos?
You'll receive a selection of 'highlights' just a few days after your wedding day. Then in approx. 3 weeks you'll get a beautiful online gallery of your best bits. The remainder of your images are normally ready 4-6 weeks after this. There's no long wait times so you can share your stunning imagery whist the excitement is still strong.
Q. What if you've not been to my venue before?
Having photographed almost 500 weddings I've definitely been to most, especially around Sussex & Surrey. The most exciting thing is for me now to discover new venue's that I haven't shot at before. Arriving with a fresh pair of eyes and all the excitement that comes with the newness of a creative challenge. I also put a lot of research in before hand so nothing is left to chance.
Lets find a little time to get to know each other first, see if we're a good fit. Send me some dates that work for you for our initial zoom chat...
