Wedding Photographer ‘I Do and Updos’ Podcast Appearance
I’m so thrilled to share that I recently joined the lovely Laura and Katie on the I Do & Updos podcast for Season 2, Episode 5! We chatted about everything from cinematic drone shots and behind-the-scenes stories, to the way I edit galleries to truly reflect each couple’s vibe. Being featured on a podcast like this is a real honour - and honestly, just such a fun way to talk about the heart behind what I do.

Being Featured on the Podcast
Being invited onto I Do & Updos felt like a real moment for me as a wedding photographer. It’s a podcast that champions creatives who bring something personal and a bit different to the wedding world, so to be included meant a lot. It reminded me that the little things I do - like filming aerial drone footage or creating heartfelt keepsakes - are noticed and appreciated.
Key Points from the Episode
Why I Love Drone Photography: I talked about how drone footage adds something cinematic to a wedding gallery - those sweeping views, beautiful venue shots, and epic couple moments from above. It’s not just techy gear; it’s storytelling from a different angle.
Unexpected Moments Are the Best Bits:
I shared a few behind-the-scenes stories from past weddings where the unplanned moments - like a windblown veil or an impromptu dance - ended up being the most memorable images. Honestly, those are always my favourites.What I Gift My Couples After the Day:
We also chatted about how I love surprising couples with little keepsakes, like bespoke USBs or curated print packs. It’s just one of those thoughtful touches that helps your wedding memories live beyond the screen.My Approach to Working with Couples:
I opened up about how I like to keep things relaxed on the day - no pressure, no big production. I’m there to support, not direct, so you can actually enjoy your wedding while I quietly document it all.Why Photography Should Feel Personal:
We talked about how photography isn’t one-size-fits-all. I really believe your gallery should reflect you - your colours, your energy, your story-not just follow a trend or copy someone else’s vibe.
What Sets My Editing Apart
I don’t just apply a filter and call it a day - every gallery I edit is personalised to your colours, your venue, your light. I take time to match tones and moods so your photos feel cohesive without feeling overly “edited.” My goal is always to make it feel like your day, not a styled version of someone else’s.
Why It Matters for your Wedding Day
When a podcast or creative platform recognises someone’s work, it’s not just about popularity - it’s about trust and consistency. I pour a lot into what I do, and it’s always lovely to see that reflected back in opportunities like this one. For couples, it just means you’re working with someone who genuinely cares, creates with intention, and brings a little extra heart into every frame.
My Tips Shared on the Podcast
Here are a few things I mentioned on the episode that might help if you’re planning your wedding photography:
Plan for Drone Shots: A quick chat beforehand can help us time those epic shots perfectly, like entrances, golden hour, or your first dance.
Let Things Flow: You don’t need to be a professional model! Just be present, and the best moments will happen naturally.
Find a Photographer Who Feels Like a Good Fit: If you feel relaxed around your photographer, you’ll love your photos even more.
Trust the Light: The best images come from leaning into whatever light we’ve got, cloudy skies, golden sun, or even moody rain.
Be Open to Quiet Moments: Some of the most emotional, beautiful shots happen when no one’s trying to be “on” just little pockets of calm in the day.
Final Thoughts
Being on I Do & Updos gave me a chance to step back and reflect on why I do what I do - and why I love it so much. It reminded me that the best part of this job isn’t just the images - it’s the people, the stories, the quiet laughs and big love I get to witness. If you’re looking for someone to capture your day with care, creativity, and a calm presence, I’d love to be part of it.
