Her gallery demonstrates an eye for light, composition and the little touches that bring a story to life. How she works: Cathy believes a calm, friendly approach produces the best photographs. She offers pre-wedding consultations — the informal “chit-chats” you’ll find reassuring — so you know what to expect and she knows the moments you care about most. On the day she favours natural, candid shooting, stepping in for thoughtful posed images when they enhance the narrative. The result is a collection of images that feel personal, timeless and full of life. Local to Chislehurst and working across SE London, Cathy is used to photographing celebrations of all sizes and styles while maintaining a relaxed, professional presence. She is a member of the Guild of Photographers and brings years of hands-on experience to every wedding, treating each couple’s story with care and creativity.
