how we can

work together

I work with hospitality venues, drinks brands and artisan producers who value story over spectacle – those who care about authenticity, craft and building something meaningful over time.

I specialise in creating atmospheric, story-led photography that captures not just what you serve, but the warmth, light and feeling behind it. These are creative partnerships that evolve season after season, building a visual library that deepens your connection with the right audience.

GET IN TOUCH

our creative

partnership

Whether we’re documenting your seasonal menu evolution, capturing your craft process, or creating a complete brand refresh, I’m here to help your audience see, feel and connect with your story from the very first glance.

I love to partner with:

  • Restaurants, hotels and hospitality venues rooted in place and seasonality
  • Craft distillers, brewers and drinks brands committed to quality and provenance
  • Agroturismos and boutique stays grounded in landscape and story
  • Artisan producers who value traditional methods and sustainability.
  • Businesses that see creativity as an investment, not an expense.

Investment and approach
Every project is tailored to your specific needs, timeline and goals. Projects typically start from £650 for half-day shots, with full-day sessions and ongoing retainers available for brands looking to build a consistent visual library over time.

During our discovery call, we’ll discuss your requirements and I’ll create a bespoke proposal that outlines deliverables, timeline and investment specific to your project.

WHAT YOU

WILL GET

You’ve built something worth remembering – a business full of care, craft and character.

My role is to create photography that captures your story and keeps working for you long after the shoot, helping your audience feel that same care from the very first glance.

You’ll never have to scramble for last-minute images again – instead, you’ll have a curated library of ready-to-use visuals that keep your marketing consistent and stress-free for months.

Your visuals will finally reflect the quality of your work – showing customers the care, craft and atmosphere that set you apart, so they feel it before they ever visit you.

You’ll have images that work everywhere you need them – from your website and social media to marketing materials and press features.

You’ll get time back for what you do best – while I take care of planning, styling and delivering photography that supports your goals.

You’ll work with someone who understands your world – capturing the heart of your brand with warmth, texture and storytelling that speaks directly to your audience.

Frequently Asked

questions

If you’re interested in working together, book a shoot or get in touch to tell me more about your project. I’ll be in touch to schedule a call or grab a coffee, so we can talk about what you’re looking for and how I can help. A deposit and signed contract are required to secure your date, then we’re all set to plan your shoot.

I recommend getting in touch at least 6 weeks ahead of your shoot, especially during the busy spring and autumn seasons. This gives us plenty of time to discuss ideas and create a solid shoot plan to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Every project is unique, but typically includes: pre-shoot consultation and planning, a personalised mood board and shot list, the photography session, professional editing, and delivery of high-resolution and web-optimised images via a private gallery. Exact deliverables and usage rights are outlined in your custom proposal, ensuring you get exactly what you needs.

We’ll decide on a deadline during our initial call. A full gallery delivery typically takes 2-3 weeks. However, if you need the images sooner, you can opt for expedited delivery for an additional fee. I’ll also send you a sneak peek gallery within a few days of the shoot to get your feedback on the editing style. All images or videos will be available for download in high resolution and web formats via a private, password-protected gallery.

All photography and content I create is licensed to you for the agreed uses and timeframes, while copyright remains with me (this is standard in the creative industry). You’ll always have the rights you need to share your brand confidently. If you ever want to use the images somewhere new or have any questions, just drop me a message and I’ll be happy to help.

I love working with small or independent producers and business and understand that sometimes budgets don’t stretch as far as we’d like. I’m always happy to discuss flexible options. Drop me a line at [email protected] and we can chat further.

Yes, I’m based in the Cotswolds and shoot on location across the UK and Menorca. I love hitting the road to capture your story wherever you are. Drop me a line and we can chat.

Short-form video, such as Reels or Shorts, is available as an add-on to photography packages. Just let me know if you’d like to include it alongside your photography.

menorca

Menorca isn’t just where I visit – it’s what inspires everything I create. The island’s slower rhythms, connection to landscape and celebration of craft and tradition guide my approach to all projects, wherever they take place.

I specialise in photography for Menorca-based hospitality and drinks brands that embody the island’s authentic spirit: agroturismos celebrating natural beauty, restaurants grounded in seasonal local ingredients, producers honouring traditional methods. If your business is rooted in Menorca’s landscape and values, let’s tell that story together.
