A little bit about me

About Elaine


I’m a girl of extremes, I love the city as much as I do the coast. I’d move to New York in a heartbeat and spend my days drinking coffee on the High Line. I love the ‘crunch’ the first frost makes underfoot, the colours of autumn (so much so we named our dog Fawkes), and the smell of freshly ground coffee beans. I love 80’s movies and music; I’d pick Footloose over ‘Dirty Dancing’ and ‘Grease 2’ over ‘Grease’ every time.

But most of all I love weddings; people watching (in a non-creepy way!), their smiles and emotional connections, discovering the details that are important to you, the heirlooms, the dresses, the bouquets. Being able to capture those moments and details so you can relive it over and over again is the best gift. Over the past 6 years I’ve travelled all over the UK shooting relaxed and colourful weddings for creative couples.

What makes me happy?

As a former, pre-lockdown ants in my pants, where/what are we going/doing today kinda girl, the last few years and a move out of the city has taught me to slow down and embrace life at a slower pace. When I’m not at a wedding you’ll mostly find me pottering in the garden, Fawkes & Roo (our trusty labs) in tow, or scouring instagram for second hand home finds.

Great Pizza

Sometimes homemade in our Onni oven, sometimes from our favourite Pizza Boys at Ffwrnes, pizza just beats spicy pasta as a firm fav.

Fawkes & Roo

The terrible two! There is never a dull moment when these two are around. Dog’s over cats all day long.

Cycling

Since mid 2021 I’ve been bitten by the cycling bug, and love cycling along the seafront, or heading North towards the Brecon Beacons.
