Photography
There’s a whole host of amazing wedding photographers out there! In no particular order, here are some of my favourite people to work with. It goes without saying that their work is professional and of the highest quality, but these are some people whose personality shines through, in my humble opinion!
From Courtney:
“I would describe my photography style as fresh, contemporary, natural and bright. Capturing everything as it happens naturally. I have been told on many occasions that I put people at ease and I am forever getting asked by guests how many years I have been friends with the bride & groom for”
Why I personally recommend Courtney:
Hands-down one of the loveliest people I’ve worked with – when I know Courtney is shooting a wedding I’m a part of, I look forward to it that little bit more! Her images are absolutely beautiful and her friendly, laid-back style will put you at ease.

From Martin:
“I love capturing the little moments, the candid ones especially- when nobody thinks I’m looking. When it comes to photographing the bride and groom, I take my inspiration from the couple themselves; their personalities, the way they are with one another, how their love shines through”
Why I personally recommend Martin:
As well as being an amazing, multi-award winning photographer, Martin is just an all-round great guy! On the day he’s relaxed, natural, and always in full control. An absolute pleasure to work alongside.

From Alicia of Red Maple Photography:
“Your wedding is a BIG deal and whether you are planning it in 2 weeks or 2 years; your wedding day is important. I get to be a fly-on-the-wall and watch the magic of all your planning unfold. When your wedding day is complete, you will have a beautiful wedding story captured through pictures”
Why I personally recommend Alicia:
Alicia has an infectious personality and it’s always a joy to work alongside her. Her work is absolutely of the highest standard, and on the day you can guarantee she’ll put you at ease – and you’ll have some fun and laughs along the way!

From Marcus at Bigeye Photography :
“I love weddings. Every single one. Each couple, location and ceremony is so special and unique. Put simply, my aim is to tell your best story. The one you’ve always imagined. The one you will revisit again and again.”
Why I personally recommend Marcus:
Marcus is friendly, relaxed and a consummate professional. Working at a wedding with him is always a pleasure – he’s just a great, genuine family guy with an amazing work ethic. A total gent!

From Siobhan:
“My photography is all about capturing the honest & romantic moments. The laughing in each other’s faces kind of moments. The super-in-love moments. My passion is taking photographs that you’ll fall in love with every single time you see them”
Why I personally recommend Siobhan:
I fell in love with Siobhan’s photos instantly. She has an amazing eye for capturing those intimate moments, and she does it in a way that’s super unobtrusive and natural. A completely genuine, lovely person and a hugely talented photographer.
