Multi-award winning photographer with twenty years of experience photographing weddings from barns to castles throughout the UK.
Choosing your wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions that you will make when planning your wedding. My style combines authentic, natural reportage capture with a touch of classical. I aim to let the day flow with just gentle direction when it's needed.
For most weddings I have a female assistant so that I can move around freely and have an extra pair of hands when helping gather guests for those important group shots that everyone wants and generally don't want to do! My aim is to make this a fun experience, still allowing plenty of time for you to mingle with your guests while I continue to capture your wedding discreetly for those compelling and authentic photographs for you to enjoy forever.
For your favourite memories of the day. I offer a range of styles and finishes of albums and it’s up to you as to how much you wish to invest. I personally design each album as well as personally editing and preparing all your images from your wedding in my signature style. All weddings include a password protected online gallery to share as well as highlights within a few days and all your high resolution edited images in my signature style on my branded USB. Albums, thank you cards, framed photographs, engagement/pre-wedding shoots are all offered.

Working with Wendy has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. We waited almost 3 years to get married due to Covid-19 and throughout all that time she stayed in touch, stayed positive and stayed on our team. You need cheerleaders in your wedding and Wendy was certainly one of ours. We were blown away by her sample photographs and I can honestly say that the entire experience was professional, straightforward and nothing but helpful and joyful at every stage. Not only are all her photography packages of the highest quality and priced right, but more importantly her presence at our wedding was a totally positive one. All of our guests commented on how great Wendy is and we replied - "we know!!" every time. She was in contact with us in the days leading up to the wedding to double check timings and schedule and she was super organised on the day but calm and in control - exactly the right personality you want in an outstanding photographer on what can be a nerve-wracking day! We are in awe of how our photos turned out. Wendy has a knack for capturing the moment just before a photo looks staged so the result is flattering but totally candid and natural. We let Wendy know which guests were very important to us and she made sure to photograph them and we gave her a list of formal shots we wanted and they were all orchestrated without a hitch. Wendy brought an assistant with her on the day (Josephine) and she too was fun and relaxed but still totally committed to capturing our day perfectly. I cannot thank Wendy (and Josephine!) enough for the memorable and happy part they played in our very special day.
Hire Wendy as your photographer; you absolutely will not regret it.

Memories that will last a lifetime
I cannot recommend Wendy enough x Wendy was absolutely brilliant from the first meeting to the aftercare she has given us. As soon as I saw her photos I knew I needed her to take our wedding photos- in fact when we had to rearrange due to Covid making sure Wendy could do the date was top priority x Wendy completely put us all at ease (and I hate having my photo taken) and as I knew she would she has captured our day fantastically xx I absolutely adore all the photos and will treasure them forever x I’m already trying to find another excuse to book Wendy x

Pandemic wedding
We were lucky enough to have Wendy as our wedding photographer during the COVID-19 pandemic! In the lead up to the wedding we had contact over phone and email and I was blown away by how friendly and excited she was about our event. She had lots of ideas and was really helpful with reminding me of little things I had forgotten to organise! We were nervous about government restrictions changing again after our wedding was cancelled in May but every time we talked, she was so positive about how we could make it a great day whatever, that she massively put us at ease. It was lovely to have her at our wedding day, we immediately all felt really comfortable around her and she is unbelievably talented, she captured the emotions of the day perfectly. We have beautiful photos thanks to her, including some special portrait-type photos and very sweet photos of the children who attended. We are looking forward to booking her for photos in the future. We recommend her to anyone who wants gorgeous, natural photos of their day – thank you Wendy!
Most couples book a year or so in advance but it's always worth getting in touch as there can be late availability which is more likely in low season
