HEY YOU..

When you started planning your wedding, did you feel overwhelmed by all the options and all the inspo out there?

I did too.

You scroll through Pinterest and every wedding looks the same. Your wedding starts to feel like a mashup of other peoples Pinterest boards rather then what’s in you and your fiancees hearts.

You want to create a wedding day that’s not only beautiful and curated to your story but one fill of amazing memories for you and your guests that when you reflect back later every image and every memory from the day will be fill of nostalgia and no regrets.

This day will be full of moments you’ll want to hold onto forever. The laughter, the hugs, the quiet glances—they’ll happen so quickly, and you don’t want them to slip away. You’re already imagining how it will feel to look back and relive the joy, the love, and the little details that made your day uniquely yours.

Until you hire a photographer who understands how to capture your wedding day in a way that truly reflects you, you’ll keep wondering if the fleeting moments will be remembered.

Testimonials

I recently had a brand shoot for my business with Lavender, and she was brilliant! The whole experience was smooth, relaxed, and filled with a few laughs! She made it so easy to be in front of the camera.

I'm so pleased with how the photos worked out! They completely exceeded my expectations. I now have a collection of photos I love using for my website and social media. No awkward poses, no stiff smiles, just beautiful honest images.

I’ll definitely be booking Lavender again for a future shoots. So talented, down-to-earth, and easy to work with!
