Honest, joyful event photography for events, birthdays, anniversaries, and family gatherings. Focused on genuine moments and the people who matter most.

Every event has its own rhythm, the conversations, the atmosphere, the moments that unfold when people come together. My approach to event photography is rooted in storytelling, focusing on genuine interactions and the details that make each occasion unique. Whether it’s a corporate gathering, community celebration, or private milestone, I document the day with a relaxed, unobtrusive style that lets you relive the experience long after it’s over

Event Photography FAQ


To help you feel confident about planning your event photography, I’ve put together answers to the questions clients ask most often. From coverage options to delivery timelines, this section gives you a clear sense of what to expect so you can focus on enjoying your event while I capture the moments that matter.

What is your approach to event photography?

I photograph events with a relaxed, journalistic style, focusing on genuine interactions, atmosphere, and the natural flow of the day rather than staged or intrusive moments.

What types of events do you cover?

I cover a wide range of events, including corporate gatherings, community celebrations, ceremonies, behind‑the‑scenes moments, and special occasions of all sizes.

Do you work discreetly during events?

Yes. My approach is unobtrusive and respectful, allowing me to capture authentic moments without interrupting the experience for guests or speakers.



Can you photograph both candid moments and posed group shots?

Absolutely. While I prioritise natural storytelling, I’m happy to organise group photos, team shots, or key moments you want documented.

How long can you stay at an event?

I offer flexible coverage, from short sessions to full‑day documentation,, depending on the scale and schedule of your event.



How soon will we receive the photos?

Like with my sports photography, images can be made available immediately. You’ll also receive a curated online gallery within 1 to 2 weeks, with sneak peeks available sooner for quick sharing and promotion.


Do you offer images for corporate use or promotional materials?

Yes. I can provide high‑resolution images suitable for marketing, social media, press releases, and internal communications.



Can you travel for events?

Yes. Although I’m based in Cambridge, I’m always happy to travel, locally or further afield, to document your event.


Are you available for second shooting or assisting at events?

Yes, I’m open to second‑shooter or assisting work for events depending on the date. If you need an extra pair of hands or additional coverage, just drop me a message with the details.


Pricing FAQ


Do you offer custom packages? 

Yes, every project is different, so I tailor coverage to your needs.


Do you require a deposit? 

A small booking fee secures your date, with the remaining balance due closer to the shoot.


Do you charge travel fees? 

Travel within Cambridge is included. For longer distances, I keep travel costs simple and transparent.


Can we add extra hours on the day? 

Yes, additional coverage can be added if your plans change.


Do you offer payment plans? 

For weddings and larger projects, I can offer flexible payment options.
