Specialising in both digital and 35mm film, blending documentary storytelling with an editorial eye, I focus on the moments, details, and atmosphere that give your day its meaning. The quiet in-between moments, the energy, the emotion, all woven together into a story that feels true to you.

I work with couples who care deeply about how their wedding feels, who value presence over performance, and who want their celebration captured in a way that feels natural, considered, and effortless.

about me

Connection over perfection... always

Freya & Mike

The photos turned out even better than we could have ever imagined and we are incredibly grateful! All of our guests could not speak more highly of Viola for her professionalism, kindest and her calming ways. She made us all feel so comfortable in front of the camera  and for that we are so grateful!

WOW! Viola photographed our Las Vegas wedding and made all of our wedding dreams come true!!! 

Lauren & Alex

Not only is Viola the sweetest, most kind and calming person to be around, she is a total badass in turning your every day couple into ART and let’s be honest, every photo she takes is worthy of a front cover (if I do say so myself) I have never felt more confident than I did on our wedding, my husband hates his photo being taken & even he enjoyed this time and LOVES our photos

To say 'understood the assignment' is an understatement, and we will never be able to thank you enough

Alys & Will

When we look at the photos we get to relive the day over and over, you can feel every emotion through each image.I’m so grateful to have found viola in time for our big day I will never be able to express enough how happy we are with the photos we will be forever grateful to her

Viola went above and beyond anything we could have only dreamed of

maddie & ryan

From the moment I enquired we knew she was the perfect choice for us and we felt really at ease going into the day and throughout it. She captured our day beautifully, creating such a comfortable environment for everyone. We’ve had so many compliments on our photos and I’m just so happy with how they turned out.

100% recommend Viola, she is so ridiculously talented but also just the loveliest person

kind words from

35mm film at weddings is beautifully imperfect.
Unpolished, grainy, and full of character. No two frames are ever the same. It captures moments as they truly felt. That raw, honest quality is exactly why I choose it.
