Natural wedding, family and portrait photography in Farnham and the Surrey Hills — relaxed outdoor sessions in beautiful south-west Surrey.
Book a SessionFarnham is a historic market town in south-west Surrey, at the foot of the North Downs and on the edge of the Surrey Hills AONB. The town centre is one of the best preserved Georgian streetscapes in southern England — its castle, the Maltings arts centre and the River Wey meadows combine with the surrounding countryside to create an exceptional variety of portrait and wedding photography settings. To the south, Alice Holt Forest and the Hindhead Commons extend into Hampshire and offer outstanding woodland photography.
I photograph weddings, families, couples, newborns and individuals in Farnham and across south-west Surrey and north Hampshire — Alton, Guildford, Godalming, Haslemere and the surrounding villages. I travel for weddings across the Surrey Hills and North Downs, covering venues from intimate country churches to country house estates throughout the county. Sessions are focused on natural light, relaxed interaction and the beautiful locations that make Farnham and its surroundings so special for outdoor photography.
