Folktale is a photography studio centered on natural light, thoughtful composition, and a calm, editorial approach. Based along the coast and available for travel, the work focuses on documenting weddings, portraits, and personal projects in a way that feels honest and unforced. Rather than directing every moment, the approach allows space for things to unfold naturally, resulting in images that feel grounded, lived-in, and true to the people in them.
A quieter way to remember it all.
Folktale Photography
It’s not about creating a version of the day that feels polished beyond recognition. It’s about paying close attention to what’s already there and knowing when to step in, and when to let it be. Over time, that way of working becomes something you can feel in the final images. Not loud or overly styled, just steady, observant, and intentional.
In the way someone reaches for you without thinking. In the quiet before the music starts, or the way the light shifts halfway through the day.
They build slowly, between conversations.
Most don’t.
Some moments arrive fully formed.
For ideas that don’t fit neatly into a category. Built collaboratively and shaped around the intention behind the work.
custom projects
For brands, creatives, and individuals looking to build a visual language over time rather than in a single session.
ongoing
Editorial and personal sessions that balance light direction with a relaxed, observational approach.
Portraits
Full-day and multi-day coverage designed to follow the natural flow of the celebration, from the earliest moments through to the final ones.
Weddings
services
That the most meaningful images don’t come from control, but from attention.
Over time, that idea became a way of working. One rooted in patience, awareness, and a belief that the smallest details often carry the most weight. The work is shaped just as much by what’s noticed as it is by what’s captured, resulting in images that feel considered without feeling overworked.
Folktale began with a simple idea.

About the Artist
Working primarily with weddings and portrait clients, Folktale serves those who are drawn to a more natural and understated visual style. The work often leans into soft tones, organic movement, and a sense of place, whether that’s along the coastline, in a quiet city setting, or somewhere entirely personal to the client. Travel is welcomed, and each location is approached with the same attention to light, texture, and atmosphere.

The experience is steady, unobtrusive, and intentional. You won’t be asked to perform or recreate something that doesn’t feel natural. Instead, there’s a quiet collaboration. A sense that someone is paying attention in a way that allows you to relax into the moment rather than step outside of it.
While the foundation of the work is consistent, each project is shaped by the people within it. No two galleries feel the same, and that is entirely intentional.

- The smiths
“It never felt like we were being directed. It felt like someone was paying attention in a way we didn’t even realize we needed.”
- The browns
“The photos feel exactly like the day did. Nothing exaggerated, nothing missing. Just us, as we were.”
- The frenchs
“There’s a calmness to the whole experience that made everything easier. We weren’t thinking about the camera at all.”
