Hannah & Oliver: Tree Top Escape Elopement and Bali Honeymoon

Hannah and Oliver’s elopement at Tree Top Escape in North Devon was beautifully simple and completely about them. They were fully present with each other, barely needing any direction, and it made photographing them effortless.

I was obsessed with Hannah’s dress — the detachable skirt added the perfect flowing drama, and cathedral veils are always a favourite of mine to work with.

Their ceremony, amongst the trees in the Nest, was intimate and relaxed. They laughed, and never took their eyes off one another. It felt like the day was just for them, and that’s exactly how it should be.

After the elopement, they jetted off to Bali for their honeymoon to soak up some sun and enjoy each other’s company — the perfect way to continue their adventure together.

Elopements like this are a reminder of what I love most about my job — capturing couples in a way that’s natural, intimate and super romantic.

If you’re dreaming of a day that’s just about the two of you — relaxed, romantic, and full of connection and joy — I’d love to hear about your plans.

An Intimate Woodland Elopement at Millbrook Estate

By now, it’s no secret that I have a huge soft spot for outdoor ceremonies. There’s something about them that feels different — the birds gently singing in the background, a breeze through the trees, and a calm that feels romantic and connected to nature.

This beautiful celebrant-led elopement took place in the woodland at Millbrook Estate Elopement Weddings. Just the two of them. No guests. No distractions. Simply the space to be present with each other.

The walk through the woods became their aisle — a path leading into a clearing surrounded by lush trees and soft greenery. As they stood together personal vows were exchanged — a perfect mix of gentle humour and heartfelt emotion.

With it being just the two of them, the connection between them was a joy to witness — it was about romance and authenticity. I never take for granted what a privilege it is to witness something so personal.

North Summit Films & Photography joined me on videography for the day, and I feel incredibly lucky to work alongside my husband on moments like these.

Hannah and Dempster - Millbrook Estate Elopement, North Devon

If there were ever two people who truly embrace a carefree kind of love, it’s these two.— it’s Hannah and Dempster.

From the moment the day began at Millbrook Estate, there was so much connection and joy between them. They laughed a lot and had that lovely calm feeling of two people who just know they’ve found their person.

Elopements have a lovely way of slowing everything down. Without the noise of a big crowd, the day feels really personal and relaxed. Hannah and Dempster completely embraced that.— completely present, completely themselves. And I loved my time with them so much.

Watching them together made my heart very happy.

One of my favourite parts of the day was hearing afterwards that the portrait session — the part Hannah admitted she had been slightly dreading — became one of the highlights. That means more than I can say. When couples relax, trust the process and simply lean into each other, that’s when the magic happens.

They later wrote:

“Just wanted to say a massive thank you for all you have done.
Our photos are absolutely wonderful! You’ve captured all the most important moments of our day so beautifully and we are so happy we get to relive it through the pictures.
I was definitely dreading the photo session but you were so fun and relaxed (& on our wavelength) that it actually turned out to be one of the highlights of the day.
You bring a lot of joy to many people’s lives I’m sure. Wishing you all the very best!”
Hannah and Dempster — thank you for trusting me with your story. Your love is joyful, what a privilege it was to capture it.

Jeven & Payton | Beaconside Country Estate Wedding

Jeven and Payton celebrated their incredible wedding day at Beaconside Country Estate — and what a day it was.

I know they’re eagerly watching their inbox, waiting for that gallery delivery email to arrive. So, to keep them on their toes just a little longer, I thought I’d share a small preview of what’s to come. Not long now…

From the very beginning, the love between these two was something truly special to witness. Effortless, warm and completely genuine — the kind of connection that makes my job feel like a privilege. They were complete naturals in front of the camera, trusting every suggestion and embracing every moment without hesitation. That level of trust means everything, and I’m so grateful for it.

Spending the day around them — and their wonderful family and friends — was an absolute tonic. There’s something so uplifting about a couple who are completely themselves, who laugh easily and hold each other close in the quiet in-between moments.

And given that they live just down the road… I have a feeling this won’t be the last time our paths cross.

Speaking of “our” — my husband Chris joined me as second photographer on the day. We work seamlessly together (though I like to think of us as equals!), and I truly couldn’t do it without him. Having that shared understanding and calm presence makes such a difference to how the day flows.

It was also a pleasure to work alongside some incredibly talented suppliers — both familiar faces and some lovely new connections. Collaboration like this is what makes wedding days so special.
