Good to meet you!

Hi, I’m Louise, a wedding, family and branding photographer, based on the edge of Plymouth in Devon. I live in a little village by the sea with my husband, Steve, and our two children.

I love photographing people and I love to document events as I see them, not in a forced, directed sorted of way but more in a natural, storytelling style. For me, it’s about capturing those natural interactions as they happen, the laughter, the joy, the tears, the looks, those fleeting moments and all the love!!

I know how important it is to find the right photographer. If you connect with my work, I would love to hear from you!

HOW IT STARTED…

My love of photography started in my teens, leading me to study Photography at University in Falmouth.

01.

Whilst at university, I dreamt of travelling the world as a photojournalist, capturing the big moments in far off places! I started photographing a few weddings the year I graduated but never dreamt it would become my future career.

02.

I spent a number of years in various jobs from web, to volunteering abroad and then on to education. With a little maturity (and more than my fair share of grey hairs!) I came to realise that the moments that matter most in life are often the little ones, just as much as the big ones!

03.

After having our children, I left my job in education and focused solely on photography. I love getting to do what I love for a living and the flexibility to fit my work around family.

I knew that I had found my dream path and suddenly everything made sense…

LET’S TALK ABOUT

5 THINGS I LOVE

THE BEACH

I grew up by the sea, we were married by the sea and now get to bring our children up by the sea! I tried London living but only lasted three weeks, I couldn’t hack being away from the coast (we were also in the process of planning our wedding!) – Photo by Keith Riley Photography

MY FAMILY

The typical photographer’s conundrum of wanting to capture those fleeting moments but also wanting to be present! I love capturing everyday moments with my family.

WEDDINGS

As a Christian, I believe in marriage whole-heartedly! I love a church wedding but have also photographed many other weddings including Sikh, Catholic and Greek Orthodox ceremonies, celtic blessings, same-sex weddings and hand fasting ceremonies – I’ve loved them all!

ADVENTURE

My husband and I both love to travel and before kids spent time a lot of time traveling, volunteering and working overseas. Since having children, our travels have reduced a great deal(!) but we recently got to spend Christmas on the Kapiti Coast of New Zealand.

DIFFERENT CULTURES

Following on nicely from my love of adventure and travel is a love of different cultures. In particular, I find it fascinating to learn how other cultures celebrate weddings so if you’re planning a fusion wedding, I’d love to hear from you!

I love the smell of freshly ground coffee and the sound of crashing waves.
