On our wedding day Louise was so lovely, she really made me feel calm and at ease even when it was pouring with rain!. You can really tell she cares so much about what she does. Louise is an amazing wedding photographer and I cannot recommend her enough. Our photos are absolutely beautiful and we are thrilled that we have these to treasure. Louise captured the emotion of the day perfectly!

I hate writing about myself but I think it’s important to get to know your photographer before you spend one of the most special days ever with them by your side. So, the business part; I studied photography for 5 years throughout college and university and graduated with a BA Hons degree specialising in portraiture. In between retail I worked at a family photography studio (which I hated!) & spent a summer in New York at an American summer camp teaching photography to kids and documenting the day to day life there. It was the best summer of my life and I highly recommend anyone thinking of applying, to do it immediately!

On a more personal level; I’m a plant based, pint sized gal with a love for dogs, cats, indoor plants & a good coffee mug. I’m a real mixed bag, I love a good documentary but can also get carried away with 10 consecutive episodes of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. I enjoy nice long dog walks surrounded by super tall trees but equally love a movie night on the sofa. I know 90% of the lyrics to The Marshall Mathers LP but also regularly try and crack my windscreen by belting out a Whitney classic.

 
Lou shot our wedding this year and I couldn’t speak more highly of both her and her work. Right from our first contact she made sure she knew exactly what it was we wanted from our wedding photos, giving tips and ideas if needed along the way, which for two people who don’t do photos, was a massive help and weight off our shoulders! On the day Lou immediately put everyone at ease with her presence and nothing ever felt awkward or forced. She was amazing at managing group shots and also being able to blend into the background to get the most amazing natural photos. She beautifully captured our whole day and the photos were edited to perfection, we honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more. We have the most amazing photos and the memories can last a lifetime.
