I have done the Diploma in Wedding Photography and am doing the Professional Diploma in Photography as well as others. 

I learned so much from the IOP photography courses. The theory side was so thorough and extensive which you then go out to put into practice in the field.

The feedback is fantastic, honest, and fair.
I am now looking forward to starting the professional course. The wedding course was brilliant, it really made you think about every aspect of the couple’s day as well as the business side of things.
The lighting course made me think and learn about my flash, which I had no knowledge of, and I use most of the time now!
I am looking forward to applying for the professional wedding course and upping my game in this industry.
Thank you for such wonderful photography courses.

I am a photographer based in Hampshire specialising in brand, wedding, and family portraiture. I support Mental Health Charity Tonic with a donation from every photoshoot and work all over the UK.
My camera is one of my most treasured possessions. I enjoy nothing more than planning and styling a shoot and then travelling to a picturesque countryside scene or stunning wedding to capture memories as envisioned. When I’m behind the lens, everything else fades away; I’m in the moment, capturing the special day.I started doing pet and family photography about 3 years ago.
My pet photography grew into portraits, family, and prom photography quite quickly.
My wedding photography came around a year later and has taken me all over England.

During the first lockdown, I started photographing the beautiful house I was staying in over a 9-week period which then led to commissions of some lovely beachfront and penthouse apartment work.
I love property photography which doesn’t have the pressures of wedding and family photography.
Generally, the properties I photograph are empty and I can really take my time moving plants into the perfect spot to complement the rooms.
Property photography then led me to be commissioned to photograph a listed building that survived the war in Portsmouth and its renovation which was wonderful.

There is a lovely jazz bar and speakeasy for which I am the resident photographer and have had the luxury of capturing some of the best jazz artists in the world.

My event photography has taken me all over the country too and into some of the country’s well-known prisons which were fascinating.

I am so grateful that my photography is so diverse and has led to meeting some great people in great locations, but for me, the most important part of my job is donating a percentage of every shoot I do to Tonic Music for Mental Health.
That is my why and my reason for doing what I do.
