Remembrance Photography
Capturing Emotion. Honouring Life. Supporting Healing.
Funeral, really?
A funeral isn’t just a farewell.
It’s a gathering of love, memory, and legacy.
It might be:
The first time some family members have embraced in years.
The last time others will be in the same room.
A moment of quiet reflection, reunion, and raw emotion.
In the light through the door.
In the way someone grips a hand or lays a flower.
In the stories shared at the wake.
——-
There are moments you won’t remember — and many you won’t see.
But one day, you might want to revisit them.
To feel that love again.
To see who stood beside you, who was there!.
——-
That’s what remembrance photography offers.
For the family attending.
And just as importantly — for those who couldn’t.
My Motivation?
As a psychotherapist and end‑of‑life counsellor, I’ve heard many clients speak of funerals they couldn’t attend — due to distance, illness, or circumstance.
Years later, they still carry regret.
I’ve also seen the comfort that emerges when a single photograph reconnects them with a loved one’s final goodbye.
This service exists for them — and for you.
To honour your goodbye. To preserve your moment.
To gently support healing.
My Approach
Before, during, and after the service:
I photograph quietly and respectfully, often using long lenses, and always with compassion & tenderness.
Mostly from behind. Mostly unseen.
Always with prior agreement, care, and silence.
Photos are only black and white — except for one colour image of the floral tribute, carefully chosen.
At the wake:
I move gently and unobtrusively, over-the-shoulder.
Capturing connection, laughter, tears, shared stories — the joy within the grief.
You don’t need 500 photos.
You need a few that feel.
My Bio?
I’m not just a photographer.
I’m a psychotherapist with years of experience in grief, & trauma therapy, and end of life counselling.
I know when to lean in — and when to step back, physically and emotionally.
I wait for moments; I never manufacture them.
I shoot with hope, curate with precision, and present with meaning.
A style I call Emotionally Intentional.
My presence is respectful.
My goal is to honour your loved one — and in doing so, support your healing.
What You’ll Receive
A beautifully edited, small gallery of remembrance images
Black and white photographs from the remembrance
One colour photo of the floral tribute
Candid, heartfelt moments from the wake
Optional printed or digital keepsake
Wondering If It’s Right?
Ask yourself:
If I could hold onto one quiet, beautiful moment from that day — would I want to?
If someone in the family will benefit from a photo one day in their future . . .
If the answer is yes, then I’d like to offer to be there, Nationwide.
Quietly.
Intentionally.
With care, before, during and afterwards, when I personally handover your images, or album.
