I’m Denise, a Hertfordshire wedding photographer documenting awesome couples having their best day ever. Always striving to make emotive pictures from your genuine moments, giving you the freedom to just be yourselves.
My wedding photography is about real love and real connections that show the true essence of you and your guests gloriously!
(Think authentic, rather than awkward.)
If you’re looking for wedding photography brimming with heart, soul and personality, I’ve got you covered.
and a lot of kissing
My wedding photography is packed with genuine awesome moments-let’s make a (wedding) day of it.
Creatively and artistically documenting the connections between you and the ones you love the most.
I’m super approachable and perfectly happy to take you just as you are. I just can’t wait to meet you!
“Denise, what can I say? You were dreamy! Honestly, I cannot thank you enough. Everything you did was exactly how I dreamed, imagined and hoped. I loved the rapport we had from the off and I knew that you were 100% on my vibe. It was an absolute pleasure meeting you and then subsequently being in your company.”
I’m so awkward in front of the camera! There, I’ve said it!
I’m guessing that you might feel a bit like that too – I get it.
I photograph regular people that honest-to-goodness love being around each other. It’s your connection that’s important, not your ability to strike a pose.
If you’re vibing with that and curious to get know me, read more…
I’ve been a professional wedding photographer in Hertfordshire for over 12 years now. That’s a lot of weddings photographed!
To date, I’ve truly loved every wedding that I’ve been fortunate to document. Let’s be clear, you are not just a booking, you are far more important to me.
I photograph easy going couples that love wedding photography that’s oozing with emotion, tenderness and joy. So whether yours is a country house winter wedding or a festival vibe summer wedding or anything in between, count me in.
What matters most is that it’s your story, your vibe, your tribe. Trust me to capture the magic as it unfolds.
You might well think that you’re a tad camera shy, trust me to prove you wrong. Just relax and stay in the moment and I promise you’ll find the whole process effortless and easy. My style of wedding photography celebrates bona fide meaningful moments, nothing contrived, nothing false. This is wedding day story telling.
All you really need to do is turn up, leave the rest to me.
I’m super experienced at finding great light in fabulous locations and will guarantee that I’ll put you both at ease.
Your wedding day is made up of hundreds of tiny, some may say, seemingly insignificant moments. Some moments you might have missed, others you’ll be at the centre of, some will only be seen be me. They’re all of equal importance as all come together to create the story of your day.
A good wedding photographer has great empathy. I’ll be bringing that in bucket loads. I’m a sucker for tears, the touch of a hand, a stolen glance. Equally my sense of humour is playfully in tact. So, bridesmaids up to no good, your nan after one too many drinks or your dad throwing a few shapes on the dance floor, they’re all my jewels!
Whilst you and your guests throw yourselves into the celebrations, I’ll be busy creating beautiful pictures from your un orchestrated happenings.
I love what I do, it’s that simple. I’ll care massively about you and your guests and will go above and beyond to ensure your experience with me is a complete joy.
I’m always honoured to be trusted to photograph such an important day. Your story is a part of mine. I hold a huge amount of pride in the quality of my work, gained from both experience and constant learning.
The best thing though? Most of my couples say that I was like a friend at their wedding. Isn’t that just the nicest thing?
Ultimately every wedding day is unique and I appreciate that all my couples have different needs and budgets.
In order to capture your whole wedding story I would recommend my “The Whole Day” package. This covers everything from bride and groom preparation through to your first dance and beyond.
However, I do offer several packages. It’s always best to chat over what you’re looking for.
“Oh Denise, these are wonderful! Thank you, what a glorious gift you have. You captured the vibe of the day so very beautifully.”
Without a doubt, yes! It’s super important to me to get to know you both. More importantly, you really need to see whether you can bear me to be around you all day. It’s a lot, we’ll be close by the end of the day!
We can do wine, tea, walk, whatever you fancy. I just want to hear your plans!
Anywhere your day might take me….
Most travel expenses are included but if you’re getting married abroad, let’s speak.
So many of my couples are, so you’re not in the minority. We’ll have met and chatted, so hopefully you’ll get that I’m pretty relaxed. On the day during your couple shots all you need to do is enjoy each other. I’ll have scoped out the light and location beforehand so all you guys have to do is be in your moment. No awkward posing, just a relaxed wander around the grounds.
Trust me, I’ve got this sorted. If I’ve not shot at a venue beforehand, I’ll make a visit sometime before your day to familiarise myself with it. Surprises on the day aren’t for me!
Of course. I mean most of the day is shot candidly, but you’ve all your favourites in one place. I understand that you’d like a photograph of them all. We’ll just keep it relaxed, short and sweet.
I’d encourage you to ask this. The last thing you need is to choose a photographer from just their work on Instagram. Taking one great shot is one thing, keeping it consistent through out the whole day is another. Definitely, make sure to check out a wedding photographers work.
Just drop me a line to start the ball rolling. I’ll check my availability, a small booking fee is required to secure your date and the balance is due two weeks before the wedding day. Simple.
