True love

The magic of weddings

Splendid moments

Welcome! And a huge congratulations, you’re either here because you’re recently engaged to the love of your life or you like pretty pictures.
You’ve come to the right place, and I’m so glad you’re here!

I just love the magic of the occasion, in-fact I love it all, the excitement, the details, the tears, the daddy daughter dances, and the portraits that melt your heart. Being part of your first day of your next chapter as a couple… is such an honour and privilege and I don’t take my job lightly.

Before every wedding day begins, I pick up an oat milk late, and sit in my car taking a moment to wish my JM couples and their families the very best and for the ability to document their day with excellence and creativity. Besides raising my son Ryan, capturing wedding day memories is truly one of the most rewarding parts of my life.

I’m excited for you to keep on scrolling and learning more about being a JM Couple, it isn’t your typical photography experience, it’s so much more!

I love creating magic together

I don't believe wedding photography is a one size fits all! I know JM Couples are unique and special, and they want joyful, genuine and timeless portraits of themselves and together with their wonderful partner, plus all the candid moments throughout the day. My aim for JM Couples is for them to thoroughly enjoy their day and know each part is being creatively documented, and all the emotions from fun, laughter, and tears are all special in their unique way.
