HI, I’M LOUISE
BASED IN SURREY BUT HAPPY TO TRAVEL ALL OVER THE UK AND BEYOND
It’s become somewhat of a cliché for photographers to say they’ve had a camera in their hands since they were a child, but as the daughter of a professional photographer, I suppose it was inevitable that I would start young. Although I only have hazy memories of it, my sisters and I often accompanied my dad when he was shooting sporting events, and I’ve had my own camera since I was around eight years old.
I studied Graphic Design & Photography and worked as a video editor and producer, but my love of photography combined with a passion for travel, seeing new places, and meeting new people led me to start my own wedding photography business.
Although I’ve been photographing weddings for over 17 years, I still find each one just as exciting and inspiring as the first ones I photographed. I love photographing people in love to capture those little moments and special gestures unique to each couple. And of course, I’ve mentioned I love to travel. Whether I’m driving along the leafy lanes of southern England or hopping on a plane for a destination wedding, I’m always excited to be heading somewhere unfamiliar.
THROUGH MY LENS
SOME OF MY MOST
CHERISHED PHOTOS
The Photos that matter most
There are many photographs that I have in albums or print boxes, which are very special to me. However, these are a few of those that are my most cherished; they are the ones that stir up emotions and memories.
The middle picture at the top is one of the first I ever took, it shows my Mum, Dad and Grandad, and I would have been around eight at the time. When I look at this image, I still remember the smell and feel the warmth from the greenhouse
The others are various snapshots of family life, all with beautiful memories attached. Visiting the zoo, walking in Richmond Park with my parents, sitting on the doorstep with my Nan and a nostalgic scene from the ’80s with my sisters on a very retro swing chair. All would have slipped from memory if we didn’t have the photos.

CHERISHED PHOTOS
MY PARENTS’ WEDDING PHOTOS ARE 57 YEARS OLD!
There’s my Dad, gazing proudly at my Mum. That’s my Mum, radiant and beautiful as she looks back at him. Hairstyles and wedding fashions have changed so much, but the print looks great more than fifty years later and is very dear to my heart. This picture is why I include something printed in all of my wedding packages.
Quick Facts about Louise
I have two beautiful baby girls, Poppy and Rosie. The last 2.5 years have been intense, but it’s been such an adventure.
I hate having my picture taken! However, I love the memories that come back when I look at old photos and remember how I felt at that precise moment in time.
I love tangible prints, photos on the walls and beautiful albums. My photos are the most precious things I own.
Every year for my birthday, my mum makes a chocolate “hedgehog” cake. It’s pretty scary! (It tastes better than it looks!)
I’m a former short track speed skater; I used to race at an international level and travel around Europe for competitions and training camps.
I have a rescue cat from Tunisia called Trina, she thinks she is a baby / dog / koala and is the neediest cat in the world! (oh and she wants to eat everything!)
After studying graphic design and photography at uni, I then went on to work as a video editor and producer, creating TV commercials and promos for clients such as MTV, Samsung and Warner TV.
I love tea, I’m most particularly fond of jasmin silver needle and pouring it into the most beautiful teacups.
I lived in Amsterdam for 8 years, I love the city and will always have a soft spot for its beautiful old world charm (and warm appletaart met slagroom)
I photographed my first wedding back in 2007 for some friends from Uni. I will always be grateful for them starting me on my photography journey ( although I have to apologise for my many weird angles and out of focus images)
