LET’S GET STARTED ON A BEAUTIFUL ADVENTURE
WHEN IT COMES TO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY I SEE THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY. I LOOK FOR EMOTIONS AND CAPTURE ATMOSPHERES, AND BRING A FINE-ART TOUCH TO MY WORK. I TAKE ON A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF WEDDINGS EACH YEAR AS I INVEST A LOT OF TIME IN GETTING TO KNOW YOU AND SUPPORTING YOUR VISION.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE MY STYLE AND PERSONALITY ARE THE PERFECT FIT FOR YOU SO, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK THROUGH MY PORTFOLIO AND ALL THE INFORMATION FOUND BELOW. YOU CAN COMPARE COLLECTIONS, TAKE A WANDER THROUGH SOME FULL GALLERIES, AND FIND OUT MORE ABOUT HOW TO CUSTOMISE YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY COLLECTION.
REACH OUT TO SECURE YOUR DATE!

WHO IS YOUR IDEAL CLIENT?
I love working with adventurous couples who are totally in love and want someone to capture their fun and emotion-filled Wedding story in a candid, emotive and artistic way. I work best with people who are relaxed and put their trust in me to capture their connection and create something beautiful and unique for them. I keep in regular touch during the run up to your Wedding day so that we get to know each other and build a rapport. I’m usually one of the gang, helping to zip up dresses and pin button holes by the time the big day arrives!!
02. >
HOW DO YOU WORK?
I’m a part of your day to document genuine moments as they naturally happen. I invest time with you before your wedding day to understand what and who is important in your unique story and for most of the day itself I stay very hands off, unobtrustively focusing purely on telling this story. You won’t find me recreating moments, but you will find me watching and ready to capture those moments before they even happen.
If you would like to capture some special moments between you as a couple, this is also a very relaxed and unposed experience. We work together, in a beautiful location, to make images that are unique to you. Whilst I may give a little direction about where we find the light, I then step back so you can make the moment your own, which allows me to capture your connection in honest, natural photos.
My goal at every wedding is to tell your story and capture moments that are important to you and to ultimately create a portrait of your connection that takes your breath away. If that’s something that excites you, we’ll be a perfect fit.

CAN WE SEE A COMPLETE WEDDING THAT YOU HAVE PHOTOGRAPHED?
I have posted links to a few complete galleries at the bottom of this page.
04. >
WHAT DO WE GET & WHEN?
Every day is different, but, as a very loose and general rule, you will receive up to 400 photographs for 6 hours of coverage and up to 600 for 12 hours of coverage. For Connection Sessions, circa 75. Every wedding is individual and unique in size, in moments and in opportunity and it’s impossible to quote an absolute figure that works across all possible scenarios. Part of why you choose me as your photographer is my curation of your images to tell your story. The wedding itself is just the very start of the creative process. I carefully cull, curate, and edit every image that I know you will love – even the occasional photo that may ‘technically’ not quite make the grade, but if the moment is special, it will be included. I promise I won’t leave anything out. You will get the best images from all that I photograph throughout your day.
All of your edited files are delivered in high resolution and web optimised JPEG formats via an online viewing gallery, these are very easy to download with no watermarks and full print release. Take a look through the complete sample albums below to experience these.
I aim to get a few ‘Sneak Peak’ images to you within a few days of your wedding day. Your wedding itself is only the start of the creative process, over the next 8-12 weeks I take my time to master your images, prepare your gallery and create your slideshow – making sure your photographs are ready to do your memories justice. This is a huge part of the art of telling the story of your day and not something that can be rushed..
05. >
DO YOU GIVE OUT 'RAW' (UNEDITED) FILES?
No, I don’t. My editing is a HUGE part of my art and unique style. It’s half of the end result I deliver. Giving out my unedited files would be like a chef giving out uncooked ingredients to his customers. No one wants raw chicken, trust me! I promise I’ll deliver all the photos you’ll want, and if for some reason you think I missed something, please do just pop me a message.
06. >
DO I NEED A SHOT LIST?
07. >
DO YOU TRAVEL FOR WEDDINGS?
Travel costs only apply with locations that require a flight or that are over 50 miles away from EX16 postcode. For locations further afield, mileage is charged at 45p per mile plus accommodation, if required.
Destination weddings are customised depending on the specifics of your location and plans, however it’s generally 2 nights hotel and round trip flight out of either Exeter or Bristol airport.
08. >
HOW DO WE BOOK?
I require a 25% non-refundable retainer and a signed agreement to confirm your booking. The balance is due 1 month before your wedding day.
I’m totally happy for you to spread your payments between that time – however works best for you. If you’d like to set something up, just let me know!
09. >
WHAT DO WE WEAR FOR OUR CONNECTION SESSION?
However! I would always also say to just be you and absolutely wear something that you feel comfortable in. Do not feel like you have to dress up if that’s not your thing – jeans and snuggly knits are just as cool! If you wear something you feel awkward and uncomfortable in, that will show in your images, so ultimately just be the unique ‘you’ that you are, and if you have any questions, I’m always here to help!

WHAT IS THE GIFBOOTH?
The GIFs & Giggles GIFbooth is a fun and unique twist on the classic photobooth add on! Find out more HERE

DO YOU HAVE ANY CLIENT REVIEWS?
Yes! You can read all my reviews here on facebook and here on google
SO WHAT DOES IT COST?
I used to call this my investment page, but ‘investment’ makes it sound a little like it’s going to cost you one arm, one leg, AND you’ll have to break into that future dream home piggy bank! So, although I do wholeheartedly believe that your photography IS an investment, it’s for entirely different reasons than all the pound signs that word flashes before your eyes!
I could spiel the old ‘when the day is over and all the cake has gone, all that is left is your photos…’ but, if you’ve stuck with me this far, you know all this already. So, as one bride once said….
‘I am a woman rarely lost for words, but photos by Louise left me speechless and tearful with delight and gratitude- I cannot recommend this lady highly enough (she’s not 5* she’s 10* – stellar!).
There might be lots of people who can photograph your special day, but few gifted enough to capture it. Louise does exactly that – the very essence and feeling of those most treasured moments.
I really do not like being in front of a camera, so my wedding day was a challenge- Louise rose to, above and beyond it. Louise is an extraordinary person, every contact with her is an absolute pleasure. She listens and responds, she made it easy and comfortable. She has given me the most beautiful images of the day, even better than my best hopes! Seeing them was truly reliving it. In the moment it’s all a blur, but Louise has a true gift – she caught the spirit perfectly. Wonderful candid shots, fabulous portraits – everything you could want and then some!
These are not images I shall look at once and put in a drawer, they are real treasures and it lifts my spirit to look at them. I will look at these often because it takes me back to these precious moments.
I so wish I had the money to pay her twice the fee because it would be worth every penny.’
You’re hiring a real live human person (hopefully one that you really like), to immortalise your love story for you. This is your song and it never ends. Real and beautifully told stories that encapsulate your love song, sound like a pretty worthwhile investment to me….
So, how do I do the coverage thing?
I keep it simple, I give my all and, in those dance floor worthy lyrics of Aerosmith, I don’t wanna miss a thing! So…

ADD-ONS...

2nd PHOTOGRAPHER
ADD £350
Let me start by saying that I photograph most weddings by myself, however sometimes it just makes logistical sense to have a second photographer. I can’t be in two places at the same time and if you would love photos of you both getting ready in two totally different locations, or you want lots of detail photos and candids, while we’re out taking couples photos – a second photographer is the way to go
- I ONLY USE PROFESSIONALS THAT I TRUST AND WHO’S STYLE AND APPROACH IS SIMILAR TO MY OWN
- ALL IMAGES ARE GIVEN TO ME FOR SAFE KEEPING AND EDITED FOR DELIVERY RIGHT ALONGSIDE MY OWN

UNPLUGGED DISCOUNT
£50 DISCOUNT!
I started offering discounts for unplugged weddings since noticing a huge spike in tablets and phone cameras at nearly every wedding. I’ve found it’s a win-win with your guests being 'in the moment' and enjoying your marriage and me being able to photograph moments of people laughing and hugging instead of pointing at screens - or worse, you through their screens!
- I GIVE YOU A £50 DISCOUNT ON ANY PACKAGE YOU BOOK WITH ME*
- YOU MAKE A BEST EFFORT ATTEMPT TO ASK YOUR GUESTS TO TURN OFF AND PUT THEIR DEVICES AWAY UNTIL AFTER THE CEREMONY (RECEPTION IS TOTALLY FINE FOR SELFIES!)
*available on 4+ hours coverage only
** NOT APPLICABLE WITH ANY OTHER DISCOUNT OR SPECIAL OFFER

GIFBOOTH

The GIFs and Giggles GIF booth is not just any old average "photo booth", but a seriously entertaining digital spin on the classic party add-on. The Magic Mirror GIFBooth creates super-fun, fast-paced animated gif files that are sent instantly to your guests' smartphones for them to enjoy and share via Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. You can even use your wedding #hastag too! After the wedding you receive an online gallery for 1 year, and all the digital files from the GIFBooth!
- FUN, FUN, FUN!!
- COMPACT & STYLISH
- NEXT DAY GIF GALLERY

CONNECTION SESSION

Let’s take some time out, head off on an adventure somewhere beautiful and just focus on you…

- 2 HOURS
- ONLINE GALLERY HOSTING
PRINTABLE HIGH RESOLUTION DIGITAL FILES
* Included with selected Wedding Collections

WEDDING ALBUMS
FROM £230
Often, the experience of seeing your photos actually printed in a physical/tangible form can be forgotten about. It’s an important factor to consider when you’re thinking about what you truly want out of your wedding photos. Sometimes it’s just a totally different feeling to pull out a wedding album than it is to boot up your computer. To look at ink instead of pixels. To hold the memories of your day in your hands…
A beautiful album is the ultimate way to experience your wedding day with a curated story that will last for generations, in a hand made extremely high quality piece of art.
- EVERY ALBUM IS CREATED BY ME WITH CUSTOM DESIGNED LAYOUTS.
- VARIOUS SIZES AND COVER COLORS AVAILABLE, AND A MORE AFFORDABLE LINEN COVER.
