Kelly Daniel Photography - Congratulations on your engagement!! An inspiring time for you with lots of planning and choices. One of the most critical choices will be your photographer. Your wedding photos will capture all those special moments that make your wedding day memorable. My approach is relaxed, and I like to shoot a mixture of formal and informal shots, paying particular attention to those natural moments that make a wedding unique and beautiful.

Guy Milnes Photography - I can fully empathise with you and will try to see things through your eyes. I realise everyone is different, and most people haven't hired a professional photographer before, so I'm here to guide you through the process... From the planning to that beautiful moment, you see your images for the first time!

Jon Plimmer Photography - I’m passionate about helping people capture memories. I didn’t appreciate how unique an image was until I started framing them and putting them on my walls (Framing is SO much more excellent than canvas… in my opinion), and now, that’s what I want to bring to you. If you want a moment frozen in time that’ll make you smile, laugh and feel, let’s chat and see how we can make that happen.

Fire & Ice - At Fire & Ice, we believe in the power of collaboration and synergy. The variety of skills required to produce luxury films and galleries is a Herculean task for an individual. We've carefully curated a team of passionate creatives, each bringing their personality and a unique skill set to the team.

Rachel Lambert Photography - Shooting, on average, 30 weddings a year. I love combining my passion for photography with my passion for travel, so being able to photograph weddings in beautiful surroundings is such a bonus. And I guarantee we’ll spend a lot of time laughing. I'm very laid back and don’t take myself too seriously.
