MEET
NICOLA & GLEN
A VERY WARM
WELCOME
Our story started over ten years ago. We met when Nicola, satisfying her wanderlust, found herself on this small island. Glen, recently returned from a few years of globetrotting himself, was realising his next ambition of running his own business as a restaurateur. Fate played its part and Nicola found herself in a charming Oxfordshire village being interviewed by Glen for a job to fund further travels. Of course, Nicola got the post and we instantly connected. Our shared interest in photography gave us an excuse to spend more time together outside of work. Lending Nicola his film camera to document the rest of her journey through Europe Glen ensured her return to England before heading back to South Africa. That goodbye was the hardest and resulted in a two-year long distance relationship while Nicola completed a degree in the arts. Daily calls from the public phone booths of the university halls (these were still the pre-Skype years) and fleeting visits to the UK between each semester got us through it.
The turning point came when Glen decided to sell his business in the UK and move to Cape Town to pursue his passion by retraining in photography. You could say photography brought us together but it was encouraging one another to follow our dreams wholeheartedly that ultimately aligned the stars in our favour.
Now we live in the Cotswolds, one of the most beautiful parts of the world, with our chocolate Burmese cat Hemingway. We are wedding photographers, and avid travellers, obsessed with documenting the most beautiful love stories where we capture soulmates shining their brightest because of their love.

“You were both, honestly, absolutely everything we had hoped for and more. We love both styles of photos that you captured and you were both so brilliant, positive, enthusiastic and calming on the day, which made the experience just PERFECT for us. Thank you so SO much again, we have and will continue to recommend you both to anyone in need of photographers!” - Elly & Felix ♡
The best day, with the best people. No words can adequately express our joy capturing all the beauty, memories and moments that unfolded… but what we can say is the incredible @georgiehughesweddings put together a dream team who knocked it out the park for this beautiful couple!

India and Ben, your story is a modern classic. On one of the hottest days of the year, drenched in summer sun, their wedding became a stage for what matters most. Family. Friends. Fun. Planned and guided with care by the calm, welcoming and warm energy of @joannawilfordweddings.

Some weddings stay with you long after the final frame has been taken.
Louise & Tariq’s day at The Bodleian Library in Oxford does just that— effortlessly relaxed, beautifully refined, and full of quiet moments that said everything.
The kind of day where everything flowed yet nothing felt rushed, and as witness you could really experience moments with intentionality and presence. Including some spectacular evening light.
Here are a few favourites from their story.
Nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds, @coombe.end is the epitome of refined romance.
For this atmospheric candlelit tablescape, every detail was curated to echo Coombe End Manor’s love of colour, sophisticated interiors and sublime gardens — an open invitation for couples who wish to dream boldly, love deeply, and celebrate exquisitely.
With love and artistry, from an unendingly talented creative team:
