Fiona’s favourite note

“We weren't the easiest of subjects, my husband can't stand having his photo taken and coupled with the downpour that followed the ceremony, the elements were against us. However, Fiona worked quickly and tirelessly with amazing good humour to get the exact shots we wanted. I have known Fiona for many years and she is an absolute delight, always has a smile on her face and a complete pro at what she does. She was a pleasure to have around on what could have been an incredibly stressful time and we were thrilled with the results. Thanks for all you did for us.”

Weddings & elopements

Calm when it matters most.

Rain, nerves, changing plans—Fiona brings warmth, experience and calm to the moments that matter.

“Fiona was an absolute dream to work with on our wedding day—professional, creative, and effortlessly calming amidst the chaos. She captured every raw emotion and beautiful detail with such authenticity and artistry that looking through our photos feels like reliving the day all over again. From intimate moments to spontaneous laughter, Fiona has a rare gift for storytelling through her lens, and we couldn’t be more grateful. If you want someone who genuinely cares and delivers breathtaking results, Fiona is the one.”

“Choosing a wedding photographer can feel overwhelming—you’re not just looking for someone who takes beautiful photos, but someone who makes you feel at ease and truly captures the essence of your day. From the moment we met Fiona, we knew she was the one. Her warm, calm presence immediately put us at ease, and her photography speaks for itself—simply breathtaking. I still look at our photos with the same joy I felt the day they were taken. Do yourself a favour: meet Fiona. You’ll understand exactly what we mean.”

Portraits & personal branding

Easy, effortless and unmistakably you.

The best portraits begin with feeling comfortable. Fiona offers just enough direction, then lets personality take over.

“Fiona has photographed my family several times over the years as the children have grown up. Each time we have been presented with beautiful, natural photographs capturing the essence of my children. Fiona is great fun to work with and puts everyone at ease. I highly recommend her for her professionalism, experience, humour and the most beautiful photographs that you will treasure for a lifetime.”
