I started my photography business in 2009 but I started my adventure in photography many years before that. From taking all my family photos when on holiday and travelling to Indonesia on my own when I was 21 with a rucksack carrying 300 rolls of film! I was there for a month and I certainly wasn’t going to run out! I did my degree in wildlife photography out of my passion for being outdoors and animals. I traveled to various countries with my camera with the sole purpose of photography. I did a masters in International journalism and then started my own business in weddings and family portrait photography and I love every moment of it!
I love photographing weddings, especially here in southern Spain where the light creates the most magical backdrops for your wedding day.

I spent 11 months in Africa in Zaire (the Congo) and then it was onto Spain where I grew up. I share my parents love for Spain, the food, the people and the culture and not forgetting the amazing weather! With an English mother and a French father I have also felt very multi cultural and I am fluent in all three languages; English, Spanish and French.
For me growing up around Malaga was all about being outdoors going on bike rides or looking for insects and caterpillars in the countryside. I love hiking and being in the mountains. The smell of wet earth mixed with the pine trees in the early morning I find extremely energizing and refreshing!
growing up in southern spain
My story
was born in England and started my traveling life at the early age of two weeks!
I
I have a great passion for being outdoors and wildlife. I completed my degree in Wildlife Photography and then did a Masters in International Journalism. I then decided to travel and spent several months in India, in a Tibetan refugee camp teaching English and living the most amazing experiences such as going to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lamas’ teachings and photographing so many amazing people.
I moved on to Japan and lived there just under a year working and practicing martial arts. Martial arts has played a very big part in my life and that world has taught me and brought me so much.
I then went back to the UK in 2009 and started my business in wedding photography with the help and support of some very good friends I had made in my university years. In 2014 it was time for a change and to return to my beloved Spain. I started all over again and rebuilt my business. The Costa del Sol has so many amazing venues; hotels, private villas, haciendas, old monasteries turned hotels, beach fronts, cortijos and castles to name a few. There is so much history here and something for all tastes. Spain can offer you long summer days with stunning scenery and don´t forget those sunsets! If you’re a foodie like me then you are going to love the food too! Spain has so much to offer you will be spoiled for choice! The south of Spain really is the best place for your destination wedding.
The love of my life who supports me through everything and keeps me sane! He also sorts out all my technical issues!

Family is so important to me. My parents have always supported me through everything and I owe them so much. I'm fortunate to have had a very loving and caring family environment and my mom was always a very hands-on mum.
In my wedding and family photography I feel it is very important to capture moments with your parents and loved ones. Parents and grandparents are such important family members I want you to have photographs you can cherish.

One of my biggest passions in life is traveling and exploring new places. learning new customs and traditions, going off the beaten track and finding those stunning locations. Meeting so many amazing people on the way and hearing their stories!
I love to travel for several months at a time to give me the opportunity to really get to know the people and the area.

"Issy has been amazing from start to finish! We were lucky enough to meet her ahead of our wedding and were so impressed with her professionalism and talent we had to have her! On the day of the wedding Issy was fun, helped us both relax, and fitted in seamlessly through the day, getting some truly spectacular shots.
Issy's magic shone through in our final wedding photos and we could not be happier. She has continued to impress us in creating an album for us to cherish and remember forever.
Thank you so much, Issy, we couldn't have dreamed for a more talented photographer."

"We had the pleasure of booking Izzy for our wedding in Mijas in September 23.
We met Izzy prior to the wedding, she listened to what we would like, in terms of our preferences and wishes, acknowledging our request for candid photographs. Izzy discussed the day in detail, and we immediately knew we had chosen the best photographer for our special day. On the wedding day Izzy made us feel at ease throughout and captured the most beautiful amazing pictures. We were extremely impressed with the quality of the pictures and the whole service provided by Izzy from start to finish.
We both would highly recommend Izzy to anyone who is thinking of booking her for your wedding!
Thank you!"

"Issy is a dream! We were nervous for our wedding photos because neither of us are very good at posing for the camera, but Issy made us feel at ease from our first meeting with her.
On the day she was so fun and we both relaxed. We now have some of the most gorgeous photos we’ve ever had together and many more candids of the whole wedding day. Looking through the photos, it feels like we are right back in Marbella. She really captured the energy and good vibes of the day!
We got our photos back so quickly too, another massive bonus that we weren’t expecting.
Thank you so much Issy for helping our memories of our day last forever xxx !"
