Welcome to the wonderful world of wedding planning! This is such an exciting time for you! I'm sure your mind is racing with all that needs to be planned for your wedding day. That said, it can also feel very overwhelming. My goal as a wedding photographer is to make this aspect of the planning process simple. Photography is more than just images. It's a real part of your day. I organise ahead of time to ensure your experience is as joyful and fun as possible.
My galleries include 'Elegant Portraits', 'Candid Moments' and all the 'Design Details' of your perfectly planned wedding day!
Timeless &Romantic
Fine art wedding photography is noted for its soft pastel luminous look. I consider your colour palette and theme to capture beautiful, stylish images for your gallery and wedding album.
Most people feel awkward in-front of the camera, me included! My strength lies in my ability to put my clients at ease as I work in a relaxed and informal manner.
On your wedding day I will blend fine art photography - for all your pretty details: your dress, shoes, flowers with reportage photography - to capture the tears, laughter and joy at your ceremony, reception and party. This way you have the best from both styles.
My photography evokes genuine feelings of love and has been described as:
Timeless images of your wedding ceremony, covering the laughter, tears and joy in a relaxed, candid style
Romantic portraits during cocktail hour and dreamy sunset portraits at golden hour.
All the fun of the wedding breakfast including cake cutting and speeches
The first dance as a married couple followed by your sparkler exit.
Arriving in style at your wedding ceremony site
Elegant portraits of your wedding morning preparations
Beautiful images of all your meaningful details

What to expect
We searched for months for the perfect photographer for our wedding this year. Her professionalism was amazing and she worked her magic through any awkward moments. I would highly recommend her, she makes you feel relaxed and you can enjoy your day while she gets to work on capturing all the moments. I have received my album and it is truly beautiful. We are so pleased, thank you.
I fell in love with Colette’s fine art photographs which captured the romantic and magical moments!

We found Colette through the powers of Instagram. She was a huge part of the build up to our wedding offering so much advice and support and on the day made us feel relaxed and captured the day so perfectly with her magical ways!
She is so passionate about her photography, we will treasure our photos forever. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Choosing Colette as our wedding photographer was a very easy choice!!

Hey there, nice to meet you!
My super power is my ability to make my clients relax and immediately feel comfortable in-front of the camera. I will chat to you through any awkward moments. My past couples are now considered my friends and I have been lucky enough to capture a few of their bumps and babies.
Get in touch if you would like what you see here and we can grab a coffee over zoom (with a slice of cake!)

Yes absolutely! I am insured for public liability and professional indemnity.
Unfortunately I cannot hold a particular date without having received the £200 booking fee and a signed contract. Once these have been received your date is secure. I work on a first come first served basis.
Typically 12-18 months or as soon as your venue is booked
Generally, it will take 4-6 weeks for you to receive your wedding photos. Depending on the time of year and how many weddings I have in the queue, the exact time will vary and can also increase during the busy summer months.
I use Canon 5D Mark IV digital SLR bodies, Canon professional speedlights and Canon L-series lenses. I process all of my photographs on current Macintosh computers using Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and other professional photography software.
Yes, every single image that is presented to you in your online gallery will be edited in my signature style. You will even receive some black and white copies of the images too!
Yes. My goal is to help you find a wedding package that fits your needs. Please contact me if you have questions about my wedding photography packages/services or don’t see what you’re looking for.

She really captured the love and emotions of the day and took the most beautiful pictures that we will treasure forever. Thank you so much Colette, we cannot recommend you enough!
