Meet Alana
Hey, I’m Alana! I’m all about showing you as your most authentic self and capturing genuine moments that make your day unique. Whether you’re camera-shy or a natural, I’ll make sure you feel comfortable and guide you to get those shots you’ll love. By the end of the day, you’ll be relaxed, having fun, and probably showing off your best dance moves, because that’s what it’s all about. Soaking up the joy and being fully present in every moment.
Outside of photography, I’m all about staying active. I’ve played tennis for Norfolk and am a qualified tennis coach, but you’ll also catch me at spin classes vibing to the music. When I’m not on the move, I’m cozy on the sofa with a good TV series, Grey’s Anatomy has my heart! And Sundays are for slow mornings with a tea in hand and a peaceful countryside walk to recharge.
Capturing the real emotions and atmosphere of your wedding day is everything in my eyes. I take a documentary approach, allowing the day to unfold naturally whilst taking beautiful candid moments. If you’re seeking a bit of guidance, I’m here to help you bring your vision to life.
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 showcase the love you share.
You’ve already done the tough part – finding each other! Now let me handle capturing your special day.
CONGRATS!
This is an incredibly exciting time for you both, the stars are aligning and the planning is underway. Get set for a fun whirlwind of emotions as you dive headfirst into all things wedding. We know the gist of the day so any questions you may have, feel free to ask away. We’re more than happy to give our advice, think of us as your personal guide.
When you book First Look as your wedding photographer, you can look forward to a personalised experience that is centered around your story.
I’m so excited! I’ll be there to capture every part of your big day, from the early morning preparations with your bridal team, right through to your first dance and beyond. I keep my offerings simple with two package types. You can choose between either 12 hours 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 and blending into the background with no interruption. My goal is for you to soak up all the joy and atmosphere, confident that it’s being captured with care and a dash of fun along the way.
I totally get how eager you are to see your photos, so you can look forward to sneak peeks in your inbox a couple of days after your wedding. You’ll then receive your wedding gallery within 4-6 weeks after your big day, although I always strive to get them to you sooner depending on my editing schedule.
I carefully select and edit each photo to ensure you receive an extensive 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. Feel free to share these with your loved ones and print as many as you wish.
We couldn't be happier with the incredible work Alana and Patrick did for our wedding! From the moment we met them, they made us feel completely at ease. Their relaxed and fun approach helped us forget we were even being photographed or filmed, and the results speak for themselves.

Yes, I believe that every couple’s needs are unique, so I offer fully customisable wedding photography packages. Whether you need extra hours of coverage, a second photographer, or specific types of shots, we can work together to create a package that perfectly suits your wedding day. I’m here to ensure your wedding photography experience is as seamless and personalised as possible.
It’s best to book your wedding photographer as soon as you have your wedding date set and venue confirmed. Popular dates can fill up quickly, so securing your photographer early ensures that you have the best chance of booking your preferred choice. I typically recommend booking at least 9-12 months in advance, but don’t hesitate to reach out even if your wedding is sooner, I may still have availability!
For a full-day wedding, you can expect to receive approximately 600-800 edited wedding photos. The exact number depends on the length of coverage, the number of guests, and the flow of the day. I carefully curate and edit each photo to ensure you receive a comprehensive collection that beautifully captures the essence of your wedding.
On your wedding day, my approach is to be as unobtrusive as possible while still capturing all the important moments. I focus on candid shots that showcase the natural interactions and emotions of the day. I’ll also guide you through key moments like group photos and couple’s shots to ensure they’re relaxed and enjoyable. My goal is to create a stress-free environment where you can focus on enjoying your day, knowing that your wedding photography is in good hands.
I know how excited you are to see your wedding photos! Typically, I deliver the final edited images within 4-6 weeks after your wedding day. I take great care in editing to ensure that each photo meets my high standards. To keep the excitement going, I’ll also send you a few sneak peeks shortly after the wedding.
As an experienced wedding photographer, I’m prepared for any weather conditions. Whether it’s rain, snow, or an overcast day, I have the equipment and knowledge to ensure your wedding photos are stunning. Sometimes, unexpected weather can create the most beautiful and unique images, adding an extra special touch to your day.
Yes, I love to travel for weddings! Whether your wedding is local or a destination event, I’m excited to be a part of your big day. Travel fees may apply for weddings outside my local area, but I’ll discuss all the details with you upfront so there are no surprises. Wherever your love story takes you, I’m ready to capture it!
Of course! I believe it’s important to connect before the big day to ensure I’m the right fit as your wedding photographer. We can meet in person, over coffee/cocktail, or via a video call to discuss your vision, answer any questions, and get to know each other better. This helps ensure that you feel comfortable and confident in your choice, so you can relax and enjoy your wedding day knowing your photography is in good hands.
