Amazing wedding photographer
Carol was an absolute dream to work with, from our very first trial shoot she was great at putting us at ease and getting the most natural and beautiful photos. We're thrilled with our wedding photos and Carol was able to get the perfect shots without having to take ages out of the day which was really important to us. Thank you again for everything Carol - we massively recommend her!

Amazing
My weddin day was quite simply the happiest day of my life and since receiving the photos from Carol, my new husband and I can relive our day over and over again. We are absolutely thrilled with all that Carol has done for us. Neither of us are particularly fond of being infront of the camera but we felt at ease and in good hands. We would recommend Carol to anyone.

Such a fantastic photographer to work alongside!
As a fellow wedding supplier it is lovely to work alongside nice and friendly photographers! Carol is fab and truly professional. She goes about her business without any disruption and always manages to be in the right place at the right time! As a DJ I always think it is nice to have your photographer get some dancefloor shots. Carol is always willing to capture the party too!

Professional throughout and wonderful photographs
As a photographer myself I've worked alongside Carol at a number of weddings and she is so conscientious throughout the whole process. Professional, good to have around and the photographs are absolutely first class. I genuinely recommend Carol as someone who you can rely on to do you proud.

Reliable outstanding Photographer for any couples big day
I have had the pleasure of seeing Carol in action at numerous weddings, and find she always provides a professional, reliable and first -rate service to all the couples she has photographed. I have no hesitation in recommending her service to couples looking for a photographer for their big day. We have had the pleasure of seeing finished albums after the event, and they always seem to encapsulate the couples memories perfectly!

FAQ

What is your most memorable wedding?
I'm happy to meet with you before you choose your photographer, either at a wedding fair or for a coffee - its important to get along as we will spend a lot of time together! If you would like a pre-wedding shoot we can arrange that for a month or so before the wedding. On the day I will blend in and capture lots of different moments, and your gallery will be ready once your photos are beautifully processed.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Portraits after the ceremony are important - you can spend some time alone together whilst I capture that "just married" feeling. The portraits don't need to be staged or posed, I capture you together in the surroundings of your venue, walking and chatting and having a kiss.
What about your business are you most proud of?
Classical, timeless, natural, relaxed, informal.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
I've always loved wedding photography above all other types of photography - the love and joy, the need for calmness and professionalism, and the whole journey from planning to album.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
Grandpa doing the bride's hair
Describe your typical process with a couple.
A beautiful barn wedding, with a relaxed vibe and gorgeous sunshine.
What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?
The groom ringing wedding bells in the church
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
Enjoy it! Grab a brolly and dance in the rain.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
Don't get caught up in the details, let your photographer capture the atmosphere of your day rather than lots of group and detail shots.
Describe how you got into photography.
Customer service from start to end, and photos with a timeless feel which can be treasured forever.
