Meet Alana​

Your Suffolk Wedding Photographer

Suffolk is full of quiet beauty, and I like my photography to reflect that, natural, relaxed, and heartfelt. I take a blend of lifestyle and documentary photography into every wedding. That means capturing the day as it really is, with soft prompts when you need them, and space to just be yourselves. I’ll never pull you away for endless posed photos. Instead, I’ll guide you into the best light, let the moment breathe, and snap the little details, the hand squeezes, the laughs, the glances. All the good stuff. You focus on the love. I’ll focus on making sure it’s remembered.

THE BIG DAY

Suffolk weddings have a charm all their own. I show up early and ease into the flow of your day, calmly and quietly capturing the details that make it special. Whether it’s a countryside barn or an intimate garden ceremony, I move through the day in a way that lets you be fully present.

You won’t be asked to pose constantly or act unnaturally. I’ll gently guide you when it helps, but I mostly let the day do its thing. I focus on moments that matter, the glances, the nerves, the laughter, and photograph them in a way that feels real, not staged.

AFTER

Once the cake is cut and the dress is packed away, I’ll be working through every image, handpicking the best moments from your Suffolk celebration. Within 2 to 3 weeks, your full gallery will be ready and waiting in an online space that’s easy to access, download and share.

You’ll receive between 400 and 700 fully edited photos, depending on the package you chose. From morning nerves to golden hour portraits and dance floor madness, each image is carefully edited to reflect your story and the unique atmosphere of your Suffolk wedding. These aren’t just photos, they’re your memories, preserved and ready to relive.

FAQ

Yes, we’re based right here in Suffolk. We’re just outside Stowmarket and are happy to shoot weddings across the county. Whether you’re tying the knot in a barn near Bury or down by the coast, we’ve probably been there, or somewhere nearby. Travel is included for venues within 60 miles of us, which covers all of Suffolk.

Our style is very natural. We work in a documentary way, meaning we focus on the real stuff, the quiet glances, the big laughs, the nervous hands before the ceremony. No awkward posing or forced smiles, just the two of you being yourselves.

We’ve photographed at plenty of lovely Suffolk venues, and we’re always discovering new ones. If we haven’t worked at your venue yet, no stress, we always arrive early to scout things out, and we’re more than happy to do a visit ahead of time if you’d like. Lighting, space, angles, we work with whatever the day gives us.

For a full day Suffolk wedding, you’ll receive over 600 fully edited photos. For shorter coverage, usually over 400. You’ll also get a sneak peek gallery within 48 hours, just a little something to relive the magic while the full set is edited. Final delivery is usually around 2 to 3 weeks after the wedding.

Definitely. While we love capturing natural, in the moment shots, we’ll also help organise the family photos, bridal party, and any must have group shots you’d like. We’ll work with your list if you have one, and keep it relaxed and efficient so you’re not away from the party too long.

Nope. Travel within 60 miles of IP14 is included in all our packages, which covers all of Suffolk. If you’re further out, we’ll let you know in advance, no hidden fees.
Yes and yes. We’re fully insured,and we always bring backups, extra cameras, lenses, memory cards, so nothing gets missed. Some venues ask for proof of insurance, and we’re always happy to provide that too.

It’s never happened, but if one of us were genuinely unable to attend, we’re part of a trusted network of photographers and would arrange a professional replacement with your approval. That said, we both take this seriously and we plan everything well to avoid surprises.

Absolutely. Every wedding is different, and we’re always happy to tweak the coverage to suit your plans, whether it’s adding hours, splitting coverage across days, or building something more bespoke for a smaller gathering.
We do. Patrick handles videography while Alana photographs, so if you’d love both, we offer combined packages that cover everything. It’s one team, one plan, and a lovely way to tell the full story of your day.
