Our wedding photographer was the first vendor we looked for after booking our venue, as we knew it was vitally important to find the right one. We were looking for someone queer-friendly, with a lively, warm, documentary-style portfolio, who would get along with us and fit in with our guests. We are not the most camera-confident couple and also didn't have a lot of family at the wedding, so weren't looking for posed portraits, rather plenty of authentic candid moments. Lou absolutely fit the bill, and beyond! Her photos are colourful and vibrant and we could tell that all the subjects in them were relaxed and comfortable in front of her camera - this was a major deciding factor. From our initial zoom meeting she was energetic, passionate, friendly and supportive, and as excited about our wedding as we were (probably because we promised her goats)!

We checked in with Lou throughout our planning process and she was always friendly and helpful and on our side, offering advice and experience of the industry and reassuring us that we weren't mad to question certain things with the venue. We had another zoom two weeks before the day, which felt like a catch-up with an old friend, and by the wedding day she felt as much a guest as anyone.

Lou arrived early enough to capture both of us getting ready, detail shots, and then a first look - we'd kept our outfits secret so this was a big, emotional moment - and then stayed with us through the ceremony, reception, and into the evening. It was wonderful to have her (and her infectious smile and brilliant energy!) there for such a long time and to capture the whole experience, and she was so good at keeping us calm, organising guests, and talking to everyone.

We were promised "a few sneak peeks", in the "next few days" after the wedding - and we received about 70 photos the very next day! This was absolutely incredible and the pictures are so stunning, we can't stop looking at them.

Can't wait to receive our full gallery - we already know that there will be tears again! Thank you so much, Lou, for all your hard work! I would recommend Lou to anyone looking for a photographer, and would absolutely book with her again if we find ourselves in Scotland.

Lou was our photographer for our legal ceremony and party later in the year. We were so happy with everything! Not only were the photographs perfect but she was so fun and easy going.
My husband is usually quite Chandler Bing-esq in photos but you wouldn't know from any of the photos- a true miracle!
