Are you worried about feeling awkward in front of the camera?

I get it—most couples feel the same! But my relaxed, fun approach means no awkward posing, just natural moments, real laughs, and you totally forgetting the camera is even there.

Stress free, gentle guidance, plenty of laughs, and letting you be you!

No Awkward Posing, Just Genuine Smiles & Happy Tears!

DON’T WORRY, I’VE GOT YOU COVERED

Weddings are a glorious mix of love, chaos, and unforgettable moments, and I’m here to catch it all—the big, the small, and the downright hilarious. My approach? Keep it real. No awkward poses, no stiff smiles, just genuine, unfiltered moments that feel like you. Most of the time, I’ll be a stealthy shadow in the background, capturing the magic as it unfolds. But let’s be honest—sometimes, I’ll be right in the middle of the action (because epic photos don’t happen from the sidelines!).

Whether it’s tears during the vows or questionable dance moves at the reception, I’ll be there, camera in hand, making sure you have the best memories to look back on. As a specialist in wedding photography, including documentary wedding photography and candid wedding photography in Herts and beyond, my goal is to create timeless images that authentically reflect your special day.

Welcome

Hi, I'm Tracy (she/her), and it’s great to have you here!

A bit about me: I spent 25 years as a qualified British Sign Language interpreter, a role that meant the world to me. As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), I grew up immersed in the Deaf community, which shaped how I see communication, connection, and culture. Bridging the gap between the Deaf and hearing worlds was an honour, and it’s a big part of who I am.

My love for wedding photography started back in the film days (yes, I’m showing my age!), snapping landscapes and architecture before weddings stole my heart. For two years, I worked as a second shooter with some incredible wedding photographers. It taught me the rhythm of a wedding day, sharpened my skills, and gave me a creative edge. That hands-on experience helped me find my own style in documentary wedding photography and candid wedding photography, preparing me to capture all the love and chaos of your big day!

KIND WORDS

Tracy is an absolute natural with people. She has the ability to put you at ease and make you feel relaxed in front of the camera which is absolutely vital when capturing images. We have worked together to photograph flower designs that I have created for specific events such as Mother’s Day, personal branding and a styled wedding shoot which was set up locally. The images are absolutely stunning, captured in a beautiful gallery for you to view and download. I was blown away with the quality. They were absolutely amazing.
It was so difficult to choose my favourite images as there were so many to choose from. Tracy has lots of lovely ideas for beautiful natural shots and the models were laughing and enjoying themselves which enhanced the day.

Your wedding day is all about connection, and as a British Sign Language interpreter, I’ve spent years mastering the art of reading people, picking up on emotions, and understanding those subtle, unspoken moments that make communication so powerful. That’s exactly how I approach my wedding photography—by tuning into the mood of the day, I’m able to capture the natural, raw moments that truly reflect who you are.

Just like in interpreting, I know when to step back and observe, allowing you to enjoy the moment without feeling watched, and when to step forward to guide and offer a little direction if needed. It’s about creating an atmosphere where you feel comfortable and free to be yourselves. This skill helps me capture everything—the quiet glances, the laughter, and even the smallest gestures—because those are often the moments that tell the most meaningful stories.

We’ll certainly take some portraits, but don’t expect anything stiff or forced—think of them as easygoing suggestions that highlight the connection between you and your partner. From there, I’ll quietly document your day as it unfolds, preserving the beautiful chaos of your celebration in a way that feels organic and full of life through documentary wedding photography and candid wedding photography.

So, relax and enjoy every moment, knowing I’m using my years of experience in reading the room and anticipating what’s next to capture your wedding day as it truly is—authentic, joyful, and unforgettable.
