Hey, I’m Toni

STORYTELLER
FILM LOVER COCKTAIL MAKER

I’ve always had a soft spot for photographs. The way my grandparents could talk endlessly about every single square photo with worn edges. The memories my own parents have captured for me to remember.

Photographs hold so much power. Documenting my Grandad’s funeral as he completed his lifetime dream of riding a Harley Davidson, albeit riding in the side car hearse. Documenting my best friend give birth – a magical yet unforgettable experience. Totally unique and incredibly intimate, each fuelling my appreciation for the power of imagery. Years down the line these photographs still hold all that power. I find that fascinating.

A night out with friends I love nothing more than taking my compact camera from the 2000’s. I want to laugh at the spilt cocktails and the friend that missed the camera frame. There’s so much beauty in the imperfect and way more storytelling than the iPhone selfie.

I live for the surprise of the perfectly imperfect stories of life. Because that’s where the true memories are hiding.

FLOAT MY BOAT

STUFF I LIVE FOR

On the weekends I’m not out photographing weddings, you’ll probably find me outside somewhere. Cruising on the narrowboat up and down the UK canals with my guy or hiking until my calves hurt with my friends.

All the while plotting my next escape to either a ski resort in the Alps, pretending I could totally live that mountain life full time or planning my next working holiday to Australia because the outdoor lifestyle just hits different.

I’ve got a love hate thing going on with CrossFit. I’m obsessed with the post-workout high and the non-negotiable brunch with my besties, but five minutes into any workout I’m absolutely questioning all my life choices.

And my perfect Sunday? If the energy is low after one too many espresso martinis, I’ll happily skip the pretending-to-be-productive bit, head straight to brunch and come home for an afternoon by the fire, reading all the fun bits of The Sunday Times.

HERE GOES MY EGO…

AWARDS

I’ve won some awards, I’ve got some badges. I also do a nifty line in education for other photographers too. Don’t let that put you off. I’m pretty normal really.
