"Thank you again Alicia for all your fantastic work – we are so happy with how the photos turned out. You were especially patient, relaxed and accommodating. We had a lot of fun despite being a couple that prefer to be behind the lens rather than in front of it! Thanks again for capturing our special day. The images will provide us with lots of fond memories in the years to come." – Rachel and Matthew
I’ve always been better at observing than at writing, so photography fits with my personality. It’s said that “photography is the art of story telling without words”, and I’ve been thrilled to be able to capture the special stories of many happy couples.

"From the day we decided to get married, we had Sue's support. Eager for us to have the ceremony we wanted, she helped in the writing of the words to express our love, explained how the ceremony would run and provided a written copy of what she would be saying along with what we'd have to do and when. Sue understood that we were there for our guests as much as they were there for us; keeping our ceremony fun, short and seamless, exactly what we were hoping for. She spoke clearly, concisely and went to great effort to wrangle our tongue twisting names without a hitch. With Sue you can guarantee she will be approachable, listen to your wishes and work professionally within your requirements." - Michael

You made the planning process a breeze and helped us personalise the ceremony so that it felt just perfect for us as a couple. We had guests commenting that it was the most honest and real ceremony they had ever been a part of. It was such a special day, thank you so much for all your help and kindness." - Tracey and Craig

It is a great feeling to be a part of someones special day.
For all the weddings I preform I enjoy working with the couple to get it just right. It's all about them and what they want, each love story is unique to each couple. I enjoy a relaxed yet slightly formal environment and I believe that creating a beautiful, personalised and engaging ceremony is important.

Like love, my photography is about embracing the simple moments and appreciating the uniqueness of a person – the quirks – to develop something that isn’t perfectly posed or manufactured, but real.
