Fantastic from start to finish.

Sarah Louise was amazing. She made us feel very relaxed and was completely unobtrusive. We are over the moon with our photos and cannot recommend her enough.

Dream come true

Sarah is an excellent photographer. We booked her because we wanted portrait style photographs rather than posed in the lakes.
Sarah absolutely delivered, but she also went above and beyond to ensure we got our dream day and perfect photographs. She even uploaded a photo within 12 hrs to social media so our guests could upload theirs straight away after (our own request).
Sarah even gave us her own fun ideas which worked extremely well on the wedding day and I can't wait to see all finished photos.
I would 100% recommend Sarah without a shadow of doubt. Really fantastic work, thank you!! 🩷

Captured our day perfectly

What an amazing photographer! Sarah was so lovely to work with, blending into the background to get the little moments during the day you don’t always see, as well as beautifully capturing and styling the more staged photos you want for your photo album! She was also so kind to our toddler (19 months) and got lovely smiles and laughter out of her, we will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives!

Best day ever!

Me and my partner had the best wedding day last weekend 12.11.22
We invited Sarah along to the registry office, then my home then to the party after. Sarah was absolutely fantastic - you don't even know she's there - but you do. Shes just a beautiful human joined in and got along with everyone and we had such a laugh.
Throughout the day Sarah came up with lots of amazing ideas, me and my partner were quite chilled about been photographed but so glad we listened and went along with the ideas. Seen a couple of previews on the day and we can't wait for the all the pictures to come back! (will definitely be recommending you to everyone!!
Thank you so much again!
