About

Documentary photography with fun group photos, authentically edited for couples excited to share their next chapter of family history.

Would you like precious family portraits but the thought of group photos doesn't excite you?

Perhaps you don't like your photo being taken or you think official photo time will be boring and feel like it's going to last forever!

Diane will make capturing all the photos you would like memorable for the relaxed and fun experience shared by you and your guests whilst making sure you get to spend plenty of time together.

Love, laughter, joy, happy tears, surprise, embarrassment, spontaneous and candid moments; just some of the emotions Diane will capture on your wedding day.

Get a lovely combination of unobtrusive reportage coverage, fun group photos, candid moments, and portraits of the happy couple all edited in Diane’s authentic timeless style.

"Guests at the wedding commented on how excellent you were at being non-intrusive, friendly and ensuring that everyone got included in photos."

Planning a waterside wedding?

Diane enjoys photographing at a variety of venues but says waterside locations are her favourite! She love the creative opportunities with reflections by rivers, lakes, ponds, and garden fountains. When she's not working, her camera is still in her hands! She enjoys going for walks with her husband by rivers, lakes and at the coast.

Specialist in Fun Family Portraits

After graduating with a first class honours degree in Professional Photographic Imaging Diane spent several years capturing special memories for families at a portrait studio which had a focus on relationships and no posing.

"Diane worked tirelessly to get every detail and everyone included, especially a less than compliant toddler."

Bespoke Creative Wedding Album Design

Diane's unique approach to album design will wow your family and friends for generations to come with a beautifully curated story of your day featuring candid moments, treasured family photos and attention to all the little details that made your wedding truly bespoke to you. All albums are optional to accompany digital photos.

"The faded into the background pictures are amazing, I did not realise how effective they were until it was our photos in there."

Perfectly captured our beautiful day

Diane did a great job of capturing our beautiful wedding day, Her attention to detail was amazing always making sure people and items were in the right place. We also worked with her to capture all of our fun moments like my brother being our flower guy, to using the drinks reception to enjoy ourselves and taking pics later between the day and the evening. I also saw an idea of taking pics with each table as a photobomb which Diane was happy to help facilitate. She was brilliant and we have had so many compliments on what gorgeous pics we now have of out day! Thank you Diane.

Thank you Diane

Diane did a great job as our wedding photographer in the summer. She worked very hard from the morning until the first dance to capture everything we asked for, without ever coming across as obtrusive.

Diane had a great relationship with our venue's wedding coordinators (Bisham Abbey) and she played a big part in ensuring the day ran smoothly. Diane also met with us at the venue before the day to create a photography schedule. Her expertise, advise and knowledge of the venue were really helpful and this meant we knew exactly what to expect on the day. Diane struck a great balance of making sure she got all the shots we had requested whilst ensuring we had time to enjoy the day with our guests.

Diane was responsive and helpful throughout the process from booking to the wedding day, offered a complementary engagement portrait photoshoot at the venue and was always available to support with questions.

Digital copies of all of the photos are provided via an online portal and the personalised printed albums are of incredibly high quality. We are very happy with both the album and all of the other photos from the day!

Very professional.

Diane is a wonderful photographer. I have known her for years & wouldn’t had wanted anyone else taking my wedding pictures. From booking her via email to the actual day Diane was very professional & helpful with any questions I had. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t on our side but that didn’t stop Diane taking lovely pictures.

Amazing Photographer!

All the build up to our wedding was excellent. Diane was very organised and we had confidence she would deliver everything we wanted.

On the day Diane worked very hard and we have an amazing variety of photos. We particularly loved all the group photos and had lots of fun taking them which surprised us as we were a bit nervous about that part of the day!

Everyone looks so happy in all our photos and there were photos of things we hadn't realised had taken place!

We were fortunate to have a sunset after dinner for some special romantic photos which were perfect.

Thank you so much! x

Amazing photos and friendly professional photographer

Diane was amazing at wedding earlier this year. We felt at ease with her from the first meeting and she took so much time to understand the photos we wanted. On the day she was so friendly and professional, and worked so hard! The photos are fantastic and captured every part of the day perfectly. Thank you for everything!

Fantastic all round

Diane did the photography for our wedding. She was professional from start to finish and the photos were great. After the wedding our guests commented how non-intrusive she was and we got lots of natural shots of everyone at their best. Thank you Diane!

Professional through and through

Diane is a wonderful lady with a clear passion for what she does! Throughout the planning process for the wedding, she was always happy to give us her guidance and expertise, and we trusted her wholeheartedly to advise us!
She provided us with a beautifully romantic engagement shoot at our venue a few months before the big day, where she explored the area with us to find which shots would be best! This saved a lot of time on the day itself and provided us with a lot of photos to use on our wedding stationary, and they were gorgeous!

On the day itself, Diane worked closely with the wedding coordinator and magician that we had hired to help create a seamless atmosphere and schedule for the day! Guests complimented us on how well the day flowed, and we know that this is largely down to the teamwork and effort of these three amazing people!
Despite having to break up the photography schedule slightly to cater for guests coming and going throughout the allotted time, Diane managed to get all of the shots we had asked for, as well as a large amount of candid shots!

We’re really looking forward to seeing them when they’re ready!

Thank you so much Diane for a wonderful day - it’s one we will never forget and one you will always have been a part of! You really do have a great eye! All the best lovely lady! 🙏
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
