suffolk wedding photographer
family & lifestyle
My photography style for weddings, family & lifestyle shoots is very candid and non-obtrusive. I love to observe my subjects and capture their natural interactions, resulting in beautifully authentic photos.
celebrating your best days & documenting lifelong memories
Hello!
I’m beth
let's be honest... you've got to like me, otherwise you won't hire me. So here's a few things you might like to know about me..
I am 28 & I live in Bury St Edmunds. I have been studying and working within photography in some aspect since I was 16 years old, and I have a First Class degree in photography too. I worked on board a cruise ship for a little while (yes, it was amazing and all kinds of terrifying for someone with an irrational fear of the open water). I love reading, baking (and subsequently eating said baked goods) and being able to photograph so many wonderful weddings. I genuinely love my job, it doesn’t feel like work and I know I’m very fortunate to be able to say this.
My favourite part about weddings has got to be the speeches. Who doesn't want to hear all the lovely and funny things about couple we're celebrating? Also any kind of 'oh my god, we just got married' moment is always so amazing to witness. I am such a crier, so just a heads up - if anything gets remotely sentimental, I'll probably be hiding my tears behind the camera!
Check out my wedding portfolio here, whether you're looking for natural wedding photography in Suffolk or beyond, a family photoshoot near you or a lifestyle newborn photography session. I can't wait to meet new people & create gorgeous and everlasting memories for all of you.

Sitcoms are my favourite.
I have a masters in publishing
I prefer coffee over tea.
I work best in noisy environments.
Brooklyn 99 and New Girl are at the top of my list! I'm also a diehard Grey's Anatomy fan (I don't like Derek though, and I am prepared to die on this hill).
I love reading so much, I decided to do some studying during the pandemic. Publishing seemed fitting! Believe it or not, it's been super useful in helping me run my business.
I actually do not like tea, but that seems to upset a lot of people.
I love nothing more than taking my laptop to a coffee shop and getting some work done. It's probably why I love weddings so much too, there's so much to see!
My obsession with hands continues…
There’s something so beautiful about photographing the way you use your hands to interact & hold each other! Understated but representative of something greater. Plus it’s a great opportunity to show off those new rings 💍🤍

Yesterday with these two. Just beautiful!!
The most joyful and relaxed day! Honestly don’t think the smiles left their faces even when it absolutely heaved it down with rain, right as we finished their couple photos!! We even got a bit of sunshine right outside the church for a few snaps too 🌞 and the most epic confetti too. So obsessed with these!!
Cannot wait to share more soon 🌟

These guys tied the knot on a very warm day in August & it was one my favourite weddings to date 🤍
Afternoon tea, string quartet, lovely church ceremony, beautiful sunset. I’ll be sharing more of their day soon, but here’s a few photos of the two of them! We found this beautiful green space just down the road from the hall & it was so perfect 🌟
