Maldon, Essex
I've always been the one taking photographs of anything and everything and often can pull up a photo of a certain moment or celebration to reminisce on with family or friends.
I started my photography business in 2015 after feeling uninspired with my job at the time.

We used Beth last August for our wedding and couldn’t be happier with our beautiful pictures ! She captured the love atmosphere and true feeling of our wedding to perfection. She goes above and beyond ..... she was laying on the floor standing on benches all to get the perfect shot ! She wasn’t afraid to lead and organise guests and passers by in a friendly polite manner her warmth and skill shows in every picture and there’s no negatives . We love EVERY photo there’s too many too choose from there’s not a moment she didn’t capture .... highly recommend !! We will defiantly use Beth again we just need another occasion to do so ..... And to top it all she’s lovely . More...

Beth was our photography for our wedding in September 2018, I have to say Beth was amazing, she made me feel so comfortable throughout the day, she was so helpful and made the wedding party feel at ease, nothing was too much trouble. We had such great feedback from all of our guests who have said how comfortable Beth made them feel and how lovey she was. The photos for our wedding are fantastic and Beth captured everything we wanted in our photos and more. We would highly recommend Beth and we will 100% use her again in the future. More...

Fabulous!
From from our very first meeting until the time Beth quietly left the venue...awesome.
Beth we thank you for helping make our whole day a massive success.
Keeping the wedding a secret was a feat in itself but you seamlessly helped the reality of the Christening take place and people were not overly suspicious of what else might be happening. You captured the surprised faces perfectly.
Your approachability and fun and relaxed attitude were just what we needed. It was a busy day but you handled it with total professionalism.
As the children grow I very much hope we will be working together again to capture some more beautiful memories.
Thank you Beth it was our pleasure xx

Beth was amazing throughout our day. Not only was she professional but she gave that extra care to detail.
what amazed us was Beth ensured she knew all the best places to take photos around the venue.
Throughout the day, she had a smile and calming and patient nature that is so important on your wedding day.
She was always there to help and reassure me my bridesmaids as we were getting ready but at the same was not intrusive.
Anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding then look no further, you won't be disappointed.
Thank you so much Beth

What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What they would like to achieve, what the images will be used for (if product/personal branding)
