About me

Hi I’m Lorraine. HELLO! Let me tell you a bit about myself, however, it is your day and all about you and what you want. I like to know about you so I can get ideas of what makes you unique and then what you would like.

So me… I love weddings, I love photography – always have and I feel I photograph from a females point of view. I have had the absolute pleasure of doing the job I love for 15 years and have won many awards which is great, but it is all about you. I don’t mean this in a naff way but it is so awesome when we connect and are on the same page.

My style is very relaxed and contemporary and I work quickly and unobtrusively to achieve amazing results. I am respectful that this is your day in every way.

I have always covered intimate and elopement weddings that seem to be the new thing all of a sudden! If you are on an elopement and want some fun then I am on it – I am full off crazy but open to all ideas!

I am lucky enough to have two bases, one in the Centre of Edinburgh (the Grassmarket), the other in the Lake District (Bowness on Windermere) with an amazing friend who lives in the centre of London (Paddington). This means I am very flexible.

My services

Boudoir Photography

Many brides like a modern, sexy, flattering portrait of themselves as a gift for the groom (to be given to him on the wedding morning or as a gift after the honeymoon). Other ladies prefer to have them to mark a special birthday or anniversary. All women want portraits to flatter us and show off our best features and as a female photographer, I am there to make you look great! Whilst the portraits are designed to be flatteringly sexy, you choose to wear as much or as little as you like so that you are comfortable.

Prices are £60 which include one print.

Children Photos

Children grow up so fast! One minute a baby in your arms and before you know it they’re running round. Then it’s off to school and they’re growing at a speed you never realised possible! Which is why I take great pride in our children’s portraits, creating gorgeous wall art for you to treasure forever.

£30 per session includes one 7 x 5 print. Other images from £20.

Photography pricing

Being relaxed looks like this is an easy job – it isn’t and it takes real skill which is what you are paying for. There is also the things like software, backups, hosting images, equipment and other things that go in there but the main cost is my expertise and creative style. Oh and local knowledge and experience need to go here too. Taking the time to listen as everything is based around what you want and your day.

So everyone likes a price list and I hate when suppliers aren’t upfront about prices, so here is mine for your ease, but please don’t shop on price. I like to do things bespoke and off piste and there is flexibility if you interest me. I also have payment options. Photography is a worthwhile investment.

My All Coverage £2499

This works great for large weddings and for elopements where you want more attention and an adventure as well as help with that dress or airbrushed boudoir photos!

Pre wedding shoot if required to have a play in front of the camera or for an image for a thank you note, signing frame or gift. Not many people like having their photo taken so this reduces the mystery and makes you feel comfortable. It shows you how great you can look. Its a big day so worth a practice run.

As many zoom calls and interactions as you need for help and advice.

Full photography discussion with you to understand what you want from your day and to discuss your timings. Face to face meeting at the venue is encouraged. Again this takes the mystery out of the day so there are no hidden surprises and helps with timings.

I will be with you all day and capture everything in a way you won’t know until you see the images. No time limits so this really can be from dusk until sparklers at midnight. Lots of stories here I may share with you if we have a drink! Fun moody dark night time shots!

Use of my car to go to different locations as required e.g viewpoint or mountain if you have the time

Digital set of hand processed images provided with release of copyright provided priority. I set my company up on the basis that the joy in photos is having them to share and this has not changed.

Online gallery available to share with family/friends for 6 weeks after the wedding. Images can be downloaded or purchased by from here for you ease. These are private and need login access. I don’t put much on social media because I respect privacy.

No hidden extras like travel or food

This is around 800 images.

Included Highlight Film – this is a film of all the good bits of the time I am with you and edited from a woman point of view.

For a larger wedding (as not needed for elopements) – option to add a second photographer at their day rate (normally £500) that I have worked with before to allow more coverage. We can work photographing independently or seamlessly together. This allows all the morning prep when you are apart to be fully covered, more photos overall, different camera angles because I just can’t be in 2 places at once and natural guest photos and more natural guest photos.

My Day Coverage £949 for 2024

Photography discussion on zoom to understand what you want and your timings.

Coverage for around 6 hours – let me hear about your day to worthies out for you.

Photography at a different location if needed e.g viewpoint

Digital set of hand processed images provided with release of copyright

Online gallery available to share with guests for 3 weeks after the wedding. Images can be downloaded or purchased by from here for your and your guests ease.

Access to world leading albums at sensible prices.

Maybe additional charge for food or travel depending on my diary and when and where but this is all reasonable.

This is around 500 images

Option to add Highlight Film – this is a film of all the good bits of the time I am with you and edited from a woman point of view.

Small Coverage £349

Is it big or is it small – Ideas about small vary but this is a fixed time based booking. You get a call to discuss your day as you are still important. All images as a digital set of hand processed images – around 150 images. Up to 2 hours of photography as 1 block of time.

Great to have a professional photographer at an amazing low price if it fits with my diary. I have always had a lower priced option and something I want to keep. Time can be added to to tailor make your package.

Highlight Film £249

My Highlight films have had nothing but a tremendous positive response. I made good use of my lockdown time and learnt to produce Highlight films – these are an amazing addition to the photography packages offered. Couples often panic and book a videographer last minute and pay a fortune. My Highlight films can be added at any time before the wedding and save the cost and hassle another person at your wedding plus a videographer doesn’t get in my images! I just run a second camera.

Everyone want to re live their wedding day and this is a great summary of the day – all the good bits from a females perspective – about 5 minutes to music and are a mix of video and photos. Just watch and it will make sense what it is.

Popular with elopements as they allow your day to be shared with friends and family afterwards.

Albums

Full range of world leading Graphi Studio professional albums. These start at £250 and have a range of wedding albums, parent and guest books. There are so many options that each album is unique.
