Last year, I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 40 – and honestly, it explained so much.

The way my brain bounces around, the way I hyperfocus on weird little details, the way I can feel other people’s energy like a sixth sense… suddenly it all made sense. For years, I thought I was just a bit chaotic, a bit much, a bit all-over-the-place. But actually? My ADHD brain has been one of my biggest assets – especially as a wedding photographer.

So here it is. A little love letter to my neurodivergent brain – and all the ways it helps me capture your wild, wonderful wedding day.

I see everything (even the stuff no one else notices)

ADHD makes my brain scan everything all at once. I’m constantly picking up on little details – someone fiddling with their necklace during the vows, a tear rolling down a cheek, a glance exchanged across the room. While other people are focusing on the obvious stuff, I’m clocking the in-between moments.

When I’m photographing your wedding, I’m not just capturing the big bits (y’know, like the kiss or the cake cutting). I’m documenting all the tiny, fleeting moments you might not even know are happening. And trust me, those are the ones you’ll love the most.

I can feel the room

People with ADHD are often hyper-aware of the energy around them. We’re constantly reading the room – not always consciously, but it’s happening. That’s actually a superpower on a wedding day. I can sense when someone needs space, when the nerves are kicking in, when something beautiful is about to happen.

It means I’m not just pointing a camera at people, I’m moving with the vibe of the day, quietly responding to it. That’s what helps me capture those totally natural, unforced moments.

Hyperfocus mode = beast mode

While ADHD can make it hard to concentrate on boring admin (please don’t ask me about my inbox), it also means I can hyperfocus like an absolute demon when I’m doing something I love. And when I’ve got a camera in my hands? Game over.

I’m totally locked in. In the zone. Not just physically present, but emotionally in it with you. I’m scanning for moments, chasing light, composing frames in milliseconds, and I love it.

I thrive in the chaos

Make it stand out

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Weddings are unpredictable. People run late. Confetti goes in your mouth. Someone drops a canapé down their dress. It’s glorious, joyful chaos – and I am here for it.

ADHD brains are brilliant in fast-moving environments because we’re used to spinning ten plates at once. I’m not fazed when things go off-script – in fact, I thrive on it. It’s when the best, most authentic moments happen. And I’ll be there, camera in hand, laughing with you and catching it all.

I get you – because I am like you

If you’ve ever felt like the odd one out, or like you’re ‘too much’, or like you’re trying to squeeze yourself into a box that doesn’t quite fit – I see you. I am you. And I want to give you photos that feel like home.

I work best with couples who are a little offbeat, a bit wild, maybe a bit awkward in front of a camera. The ones who want real, messy, emotional photos (and whose brains might also be a little bit spicy). I’ll never ask you to pretend. I just want you to be you, and I’ll take care of the rest.

And while I’m all about capturing things as they happen, sometimes there’s a bit of gentle steering involved. I might set you up in gorgeous light or suggest a little moment (like “go stand over there and have a cuddle”) to give things space to unfold naturally. Then I step back and let the magic happen.

So yeah – my ADHD is part of who I am

It shapes the way I see the world, the way I connect with people, and the way I capture love. And honestly? I wouldn’t have it any other way.

If you're looking for a wedding photographer who'll roll with the chaos, spot the magic in the mundane, and make you feel totally seen – I’d love to hear from you.
