Contemporary, candid, natural.
Capturing your authentic moments whilst you soak up the joy and atmosphere knowing you’re fully present in every moment. My approach is relaxed and fun, allowing you to feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Meet Alana:
Hey, I’m Alana! I’m all about capturing your most authentic self and those genuine moments that make your day truly yours. Whether you’re a bit camera-shy or totally at home in front of the lens, I’ll make sure you feel comfortable and guide you to create natural, candid shots you’ll treasure. By the end of the day, you’ll be having so much fun, throwing those shapes on the dance floor.. because weddings are all about enjoying every second and soaking up the moment.
When I’m not behind the camera, I love staying active. I’ve played tennis for Norfolk and am a qualified coach. I’m also very likely to be found at spin class, vibing to the beat. When it’s time to unwind, I’ll be on that sofa cozying up with a good TV series (Grey’s Anatomy has my heart!). Or treating myself to a spa day. Sundays are my favourite. Slow mornings with a cup of tea in hand, followed by a peaceful countryside walk to recharge.
Capturing the real emotions and vibe of your wedding day is everything in my eyes. I take a documentary approach, allowing the day to unfold naturally whilst snapping beautiful candid moments. If you’re looking for a touch of guidance, I’m here to support you in reaching your vision.
A relaxed atmosphere in which you feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera, is one I strive to create. This allows me to capture authentic images that show the love you share.
You’ve already done the tough part – finding each other! Now let me handle capturing your special day.

This is very exciting!! I’ll be there to capture every part of your big day, from the early morning preparations with your bridal squad, right through to your first dance and into the evening. I keep it simple by offering two packages. You can choose between 12 hour or 8 hour coverage of your day.
I’ll be a seamless part of your celebration, there for all the big, small and in-between moments. Capturing those unforgettable details, without interruption. My aim is for you to soak up every moment, confident that it’s being captured with care and a touch of fun along the way.
You’ll receive your wedding gallery within 4-6 weeks after your wedding, although I always strive to get them to you sooner depending on my editing schedule. I know how excited you are to see your photos so you can expect to have sneak peaks in your inbox a couple days after.
I carefully curate and edit each photo to ensure you receive a comprehensive collection that beautifully captures the essence of your wedding.
On average I supply between 600-800 edited photos displayed in your very own personal gallery. Plus, you’re free to share these with your loved ones and print as many as you like.

Suffolk offers stunning landscapes, from rolling countryside to historic architecture and picturesque coastal spots, making it a dream location for wedding photography. Whether you’re getting married in a rustic barn, a charming manor or along the scenic coastline, Suffolk’s natural beauty creates the perfect backdrop for capturing your special day.
While we are based in Suffolk, we’re happy to travel across the UK and beyond to capture your wedding day. Suffolk is our home turf and we have a good understanding of the venues and hot spots, but we do love a new adventure (travel costs may apply).
My wedding photography style is a blend of contemporary meets documentary. I focus on capturing real moments as they happen, the laughter, the tears, and everything in between. If you’re looking for a touch of guidance during the couples portraits, I’m your girl. My approach is relaxed with a touch of fun allowing you to feel at ease in front of the camera.
Absolutely! I always recommend meeting with my couples before booking to ensure we’re the perfect fit. We can arrange a time to meet up over coffee or cocktail! Or alternatively, set up a video call to chat about your vision and get to know you both better. It’s important that you feel confident and comfortable with your photographer as I’ll be with you throughout the day.
I recommend booking your photographer once you have secured your wedding venue. It’s always best to book as early as possible to secure your date, especially during peak wedding season (typically spring to late summer). Popular dates can get booked up quickly, so we recommend reaching out at least 12 to 18 months in advance. However, we sometimes have availability for last-minute bookings, so don’t hesitate to ask!
I do indeed, offer engagement sessions. These shoots are a great way to help you get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. Why not make a day of it and explore some beautiful Suffolk locations whilst getting some natural, relaxed photos of you and your partner (feel free to bring a plus one whether that be a tiny human or a pup). Plus, it gives us a chance to build rapport so you’ll feel even more at ease on your wedding day.
Yes! We offer combined photography and videography packages for couples who want to capture their day from every angle. Working with us as a team for both services ensures consistency and coordination, providing you with a mix of still images and cinematic video that complement each other beautifully.

There are too many to choose from but here are some of our top picks that offer fantastic photo opportunities. We can advise on the best spots at each location and if you have a specific venue in mind, we’re more than happy to scout it out beforehand to ensure we get the best shots!
The anticipation is real. I know how excited you’ll be to see your photos! My typical turnaround time is about 4 to 6 weeks although I will aim to get these to you sooner depending on my editing pile. I offer a selection of sneak peeks which you can expect to receive a couple days after your wedding, so yo can share a few highlights with your friends and family while you wait for your full gallery.
The number of photos varies depending on the package you choose and the length of your wedding day but on average, couples receive between 400 – 800 edited images. I focus on delivering a comprehensive collection of photos in your own personal gallery that captures every key moment, detail, and emotion.
Moments that matter,
memories that last.
