A passion for authentic storytelling
At Photographic Memories, I believe photography is about more than pictures — it’s about trust, connection, and storytelling. Based in Somerset, I’ve spent years photographing weddings, events, and portraits for people who want their memories preserved with authenticity and care. My style blends creativity with professionalism, ensuring a relaxed experience and photographs that reflect both your story and my artistic vision.
Stories matter - especially the small ones that feel like you. I believe every image should feel honest, artful, and a little bit human. From joyful weddings to quiet portraits and lively events across the UK, my work is grounded in connection and curiosity. If you’re looking for a photographer who sees you, I’d love to see your story unfold.
I work with a calm, unobtrusive approach that allows moments to unfold naturally. No stiff posing, no forced smiles – just a relaxed experience where you can be yourself. My focus is on capturing not just how your day looks, but how it feels, so you can relive the emotions every time you look back at your photographs.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, celebrating a milestone event, or simply wanting timeless portraits, I’d love to help tell your story. Let’s create something together that feels personal, authentic, and unforgettable.
Her main area of expertise is portraiture, capturing people, and more specifically working with children. Having 2 of her own, she is well versed in the skills required to not only capture a beautiful photograph of a child, but also, and almost more importantly, connecting with children and engaging their attention in order to capture the photograph.
Her style of photography is much like her personality; classic and traditional, yet spliced with a great deal of spontaneity. When you commission her for your photo shoot she will take a wide range of photos, from full-body shots through to close-ups. There will also be artistic shots, and some more laid-back reportage style shots. Essentially, you can guarantee that the sitter’s personality will be photographically represented to its fullest and you will fully ‘recognise’ the personality of the sitter through the photograph.
