Fantastic service with a personal touch!

Kayleigh was absolutely brilliant as our wedding photographer, and the photos were just a small part of why. We have so many good things to say about the level of service that Kayleigh provided, but below are a few choice reasons as to why we were so happy we chose Kayleigh as our photographer.

Dedication – Kayleigh was so dedicated to capturing the moments that we had told her were important to us, that she not only started earlier than agreed, but also stayed on a little longer to make sure we had everything we wanted. Never once did she bring up the extra time and effort she put in. Her sole ambition, was to make sure we had a collection of fantastic photos to remember our day, I don’t think another purpose crossed her mind the entire day! That to me, shows true dedication to a job.

Craft – Kayleigh has a keen eye for a good photograph. We were very pleased with the shots we received, which were a good balance of posed and candid shots. We were not really looking forward to the photo portion of the day as we are not very comfortable with posed photos. We explained this to Kayleigh from the outset, and she took steps to make the process as comfortable as possible, even giving us tips to look natural in the photos. She did a great job, and the process was as easy as she said it would be.

Personality – From our first phone call we could tell that Kayleigh was a good fit for us. She has a very friendly demeanour, and the ability to make you feel very at ease. All of our friends and family remarked on how easy she was to talk to, her great personality, and how hard she worked during the night. She was even happy to talk to our 91-year-old grandad about his camera and lenses, and boy can he talk! It was honestly like having another guest at the wedding, she just happened to be holding a camera all the time.

Work ethic – As mentioned before, Kayleigh has an incredible work ethic. We were quite surprised to receive a few choice shots, “sneak peaks” as Kayleigh called them, the day after our wedding. We were even more surprised when 7 days later we received our full package of photos. What great service!
It’s very clear during the process that Kayleigh truly loves what she does. She gets very excited while editing, sending through little updates and sneak peaks. It makes the wait so much more fun, and you really feel involved throughout.

We couldn’t be happier with our choice of a photographer, and we can’t recommend her enough.

All the best Kayleigh, and thank you for the memories. X

Amazing,talented, friendly, photographer

We chose Kayleigh to photograph our wedding and we are so happy we did, from the first phone call we knew that we would work well with Kayleigh. We discussed all photograph shots that we wanted then let Kayleigh work her magic for us. Kayleigh blended in with the guests (who all loved her) ensuring we had the perfect photos. Our couple shots were amazing Kayleigh put us both at ease, making us laugh throughout giving us some absolutely gorgeous photos of our perfect day. The same might we were surprised to receive one of the photos Kayleigh took then the following day we recieved a few more sneak peak photos from our day which was a nice surprise they were beautiful, the communication throughout made us feel involved and excited to see the rest. Kayleighs dedication to her work is clear to see. We would highly recommend Kayleigh and so glad we chose her for our wedding.

Can't get better than Kayleigh in my opinion.

Kayleigh truly embodies the spirit and excellence from our very first interaction, it was clear that Kayleigh was not just a photographer, but a dedicated professional who goes above and beyond in every aspect of her work.

Kayleigh’s commitment to her craft was evident from our initial consultation. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, understand our vision, and make thoughtful suggestions that significantly enhanced our wedding day. Her warmth, enthusiasm, and expertise immediately put us at ease, making us feel confident that we were in capable hands.

On our wedding day, Kayleigh was nothing short of extraordinary. She seamlessly blended into the background, capturing the raw, unfiltered emotions of the day while making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Each photograph tells a story, encapsulating the love and joy we felt, and we will cherish these memories forever.

But what truly sets Kayleigh apart is her willingness to go beyond the role of a photographer. She helped coordinate with other vendors, kept the schedule on track, and even assisted in calming pre-wedding jitters. Her presence was a source of calm and reassurance, and her proactive approach ensured that everything ran smoothly. Whether it was helping with wedding hair, lacing up my wedding dress, adjusting my veil, or simply offering a kind word of support, Kayleigh was always there, anticipating needs we didn’t even know we had.

Kayleigh’s dedication, creativity, and genuine care for her clients make her an exceptional photographer and an invaluable part of any wedding. She not only captured the essence of our special day but also played a pivotal role in making it perfect. For her unparalleled professionalism, her heartfelt approach, and her extraordinary talent, we wholeheartedly recommend Kayleigh.

Focusing on the moment and capturing the memory.

Kayleigh has done family portraits (mummy and me), empowerment session for me and wedding party photos for us.
Her skills are fabulous! Not just with the camera but behind it and after.
My daughter was not playing ball at our mummy and me photo shoot, you wouldn’t know that though! She managed to get some corkers smiling and general hilarious faces. Also thanks to a fantastic sense of humour we managed to get edit at least one of her screaming in an amusing way for when she’s 18 ;)
My empowerment shoot was just fabulous and fun!
I’ve recommended Kayleigh more than once to friends and family and have had the pleasure of seeing her more than just for us.
Our wedding reception in England was documented by Kayleigh. It was amazing and the photos show it. She was professional from start to finish, punctual with the delivery of the photos. Really fabulous experience, I look forward to getting some more done.
