About

Hi! I’m Allie—a wedding photographer with crazy-coloured hair, a big creative flair, and a knack for capturing the moments you didn’t even know you missed.

I’m an introvert and an extrovert (a rare breed, I know)—which means I know when to step back and quietly document and when to step in, round up the crew, and keep things moving. I’m calm when it counts, a little bossy when needed, and always tuned in to the energy of the day.

My style is documentary with an editorial twist. I’m all about real stories, honest emotion, and those blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments—but I’ll also make sure you get those gorgeous, artful shots you’ll want to frame forever.

Feel awkward in front of the camera? You’re my kind of people. I’ve got a knack for making even the most camera-shy humans feel relaxed and themselves—no stiff poses, no cheesy smiles, just you being, well, you!

Based in a little village called Codicote in Hertfordshire, but I’ll go wherever your love takes us. All couples are welcome, always. This is your story—exactly as you are—I’m just here to help you tell it beautifully.

Capture Your Memories

We have worked with Allie a number of times at The Cloisters. She has a very easy style that relaxes everyone. Her work can be traditional and formal, relaxed and quirky, but always delightful.

Allie has been to us for Birthday Parties as well as Weddings and even an Afternoon Tea. She has a wide range and the photos match the mood you are looking to achieve.

We are always pleased when a couple tell us they have booked Allie, we know the day will be organised but relaxed. She works with the venue to ensure the day flows.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
