The Menagerie lifestyle photography

We came across The Menagerie on Instagram. We used Maryann as our wedding photographer, her and Nathan done an amazing job at capturing the raw emotion of the day without being over bearing and the post editing quality is brilliant. We would have no doubts in recommending her to anyone looking for a documentary style photographer. We will be using her again in the future for our maturity/baby pictures, which are again amazing!!!

I’ve worked with Maryann on professional photo shoots a couple of times and each time her work has been incredible, so when my little girl was born and I was looking to have professional photographs taken of her, Maryann was my first choice. She arranged the most beautiful photo shoot for my daughter, the backdrop and flowers were just stunning & Maryann showed unparalleled patience when my little girl refused to sleep (& then much to my embarrassment weed on her!!!). I absolutely HATE having pictures of me taken/seeing pictures of me, but Maryann very gently coaxed me into having a few relaxed shots done with my daughter. She seemed to really understand my anxiety with being in front of the lense and made me feel completely at ease. I knew the resulting images would be special, but genuinely nothing could have prepared me for how much I would love what Maryann created. The pictures are absolutely stunning, they perfectly capture my little girl & the ones of me with her are actually my favourites! I cried happy tears when I saw them and will quite literally treasure them forever. Thank you Maryann for your beautiful work, I’m so grateful! Xx More...

We booked Maryann for a session with our two little ones. Maryann was very soothing, which meant both our children were comfortable and relaxed. The images turned out beautifully and we loved having their little bond documented. We would definitely recommend Maryann and her creativity to anyone looking for a family portrait session! More...

Maryann was recommended to us by a friend for my son's 1st and 3rd birthday shoot. I wanted a bit of difference for their shoots, We wasn't disappointed, She made us all feel so comfortable, we decided on an outdoor shoot and She is amazing! ! Maryann was able to capture some very treasured memories which reflect in all of their photos. If you want photos with a bit of difference then this lady is who you need. I highly recommend Maryann!! . We have found everything and more in a photographer here and we are going back to make some more treasured memories too. Thankyou so so much Maryanne. And we look forward to seeing you again soon x More...

Where do I start! I have too many nice things to say about Maryanne! Me and my husband had never had any Professional photos of us done, we wanted an engagement shoot and that’s when I stumbled across The Menagerie Lifestyle page. We wanted an outside and that was Walton on the Naze. It was an early evening shoot with our little dog aswell and Maryanne & Nathan made us feel so comfortable. I was super happy with the engagement pictures when they came through and was so happy when Maryanne said she was able to do our wedding in Tenerife a few months later. Our day in Tenerife was about 35 degrees and everyone was so hot, in all the pictures you would never know that we were all dying of heat stroke. Maryanne captures moments in time that you never want to forget, I was getting ready with my bridesmaids and flower girls of all different ages. The room was a mess and we were all fanning each other, the pictures came out amazing! Something that I would of thought to have been chaos was perfection.I seriously cannot choose which photos I want to print out and put on the walls of our home as I love them all so much.I will always use The menagerie lifestyle for future shoots, whether it be for work, personal or family she is my go to photographer. You will not regret going with them xx More...
