Hello, I'm Zadie
Wedding + family Photographer
This is the part of the website where I'm supposed to tell you all about myself but honestly, there's not much to tell. Yes, I might come across as this "super put-together wedding professional," but truth is, I'm just your typical caffeine-fuelled, self-employed mum, who's forever trying to find the non-existent balance between work and life.
When I'm not sitting at my desk or out on a job, I'm most likely trying to get on-top of my washing pile or I'm completely ignoring it and going for a long run instead. If you can relate to any of the above, let's be friends.
I started this little business of mine five years ago now, with no real expectation or goals in mind, other than a strong desire to encourage women and mothers to get in front of the camera, because as a mum myself, I know exactly what it's like to always be the one taking the photos, but never in them. Surprisingly, weddings weren't actually something I initially pictured myself doing, but here we are, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Story-driven, authentic photography
about my approach
Over the years, I have learnt to let go of the idea of perfection and to focus on quietly capturing real, raw moments as they unfold. As much as my galleries are a product of my art, they are more so an authentic reflection of the lives, relationships and unique personalities of the people in them.
I take a very relaxed approach- gently guiding and prompting my subjects to capture beautifully composed, yet still genuine, intimate moments of connection.
I encourage my subjects to be fully present with each other, to focus on themselves and not the camera, and to most importantly have fun and make the most of this time in their life.
Can't believe you've read this far, wow- gold star for you!
If you're interested in my work or just want to connect, please don't hesitate to reach out. My inbox is always open, although there is at most times a slight delay in response, thanks to that non-existent work/life balance I mentioned earlier...
I hope to hear from you soon!

Testimonials
Can’t recommend Zadie enough! She recently photographed our wedding. Zadie is warm, friendly, and professional. She made us and our guests feel super comfortable in front of the camera and was able to provide lots of direction (whilst keeping it fun) to get some amazing shots. We got the previews back the same day as our wedding, and the full gallery within a couple of weeks, so a super speedy turnaround and the photos are all absolutely incredible - exactly what we wanted. ✨ Such reasonable pricing too. Thank you so much Zadie!

Testimonials
We honestly can’t recommend Zadie enough! She did our engagement shoot earlier this year and captured our wedding day just a few weeks ago, and we couldn’t be happier with her beautiful work. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and Zadie captured it so beautifully.
She has an incredible eye for detail and creates the most natural, timeless, and stunning photos. On both occasions, she made us feel completely at ease, and not to mention - we have so much fun during our sessions! We've only received the preview photos for our wedding so far, and we already love them so much! We can’t wait to see the full album.
The photos are everything we hoped for and more. They're full of joy, love, and all the little moments we’ll treasure forever. She’s not just incredibly talented, but also such a lovely person to have around on such special days. Thank you Zadie! xx
If you’re thinking about booking her, do it! You won’t regret it!

Testimonials
Zadie has captured my family three times, from maternity, newborn and 6 months and we already can not wait to book again. From her excellent communication to friendless you can expect nothing but the best! Zadie has gone above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident, her turn around time for images is amazing and her gallery program is seamless. Zadie has brought out the best of us in our photos and we couldn’t ask for better images to fill our albums.
