A little bit about me

About Elaine

I have a long history at being creative – aged 7 I won an art competition at school and met Princess Anne (still to this day my favourite royal), I studied architecture at Strathclyde Uni and worked in the Architecture and Urban Design industry before creating Elaine Williams Photography in 2015. I LOVE decorating, give me a paint brush and some music and I’m happy. I love the ‘crunch’ the first frost makes underfoot, the colours of autumn, 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; I love observing the connections between people, 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 10 years I’ve travelled all over the UK shooting relaxed and colourful weddings for creative couples.
