female Devon wedding photographer

Heartfelt photography for joy-filled days

You fell in love spent time getting to know each other. And here you are… Now it’s my turn to capture the moments that make this day yours.

Based in North Devon, a stone’s throw from the beaches Saunton Sands, Croyde, Putsborough and Woolacombe. I am known for capturing weddings with warmth, colour and emotion. I’m less about forced poses and more about the people, the relationships and the moments where the love is impossible to miss.

Natural, colourful wedding photography for couples who want to feel like themselves

This is your wedding day, not a performance. I’ll give you gentle guidance if you need it but more importantly, plenty of space to soak up every second of your celebration as it unfolds. You will have photographs that bring you straight back to how it all felt. The energy, the atmosphere, the emotion. I’m here, camera in hand, to capture it all.

The big moments. The blink-and-you-missed-it moments. The ordinary moments that actually… aren’t so ordinary.

I love seeing how differently people choose to celebrate from intimate elopements on the rugged North Devon coastline to full weekend revelries in the countryside. Whatever your love story looks like, I want the photographs to keep the personality of the day alive.

Human. Heartfelt. Unhurried.

With over 700 weddings captured, I’ve learned that my favourite photographs are often the moments you couldn’t have planned. Your loved ones seeing you for the first time, your grandparents holding hands during the ceremony, your childhood best friend laughing until they cry and that little look between the two of you when everyone else is busy celebrating.

With each year that passes, those are the photographs that matter more and more.

My approach is all about family, friends and the people behind your story, those cherished moments. I’ll offer subtle direction alongside the more traditional photographs you’ll always want for the album. You don’t need to know what to do in front of the camera. You simply need to have the best time at your wedding.

A little direction when you need it. Plenty of freedom when you don’t.

We cannot recommend Laura highly enough! Planning our wedding from Denmark could have been challenging, but Laura made everything so easy. l, but from the very beginning Laura was absolutely amazing. She was recommended by our hotel, and we are so grateful to have found her. Laura went above and beyond throughout the entire process. We had several Zoom calls before the wedding to discuss our plans, ideas and what was important to us. She even met my mother and I at the venue during one of our visits, taking the time to show us around and point out beautiful photo opportunities that we would never have considered ourselves. On the wedding day, Laura was incredible. She made me feel completely relaxed and comfortable, listened to everything we wanted, and blended seamlessly into the day. Her calm, friendly and professional approach meant we could simply enjoy every moment knowing we were in great hands. The photographs we have seen so far are absolutely stunning and have exceeded all of our expectations. They capture the emotion, joy and atmosphere of the day perfectly, and we genuinely cannot wait to see the rest. Thank you, Laura, for your patience, support, guidance and incredible talent. You were so much more than just our photographer, and we will treasure these memories forever. 💕 Tarryn & Chris

It is impossible to put into words how amazing Laura was with us from the moment we met her to the moment we received our photos! She made our day perfect and captured everything we wanted and more! Laura was so lovely and patient, and makes sure that everything went smoothly. Every single one of our guests commented on how amazing our photographer was and how Laura just fitted in like one of the family. We can’t recommend Laura enough and a million thank you’s wouldn’t be enough! If anyone wants a photographer who goes above and beyond to capture their perfect day then definitely book Laura, you will not be disappointed! Thank you again so so much, love from Lucy & Paul xx

Laura was an absolute gem from start to finish! From the very beginning, you made us feel completely at ease—not just me and Mike, but our whole family too. The photos are even more amazing than we could have imagined. Every image brings back so many special memories, and we’ll treasure them forever. We’re so grateful we chose you to capture our day, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. You truly have a gift, Laura! Thank you so much for everything. Lots of Love Mr & Mrs Mahoney xxx

Laura was absolutely amazing! Such beautiful photos, she helped us feel so relaxed when taking photos, especially couple photos. Great with gentle guidance on some poses but also just getting little details we missed. Laura fitted in so well, so many of our guests said how nice and friendly she was. One thing in particular we were so grateful for is how superb Laura is at understanding family situations and very good with managing everybody for the formal photos.

I met Laura at a wedding fair at the start of the year and automatically knew that when it was time for me to update my branding photos I would be going to Laura. The whole process was so easy and streamline, Laura couldn’t do more to help when it came to helping find a venue and arranging when we could go and use the venue. The session itself was so relaxed and Laura really took her time, which made it such a lovely experience for me. Not to mention that the photos themselves are absolutely stunning! Thank you again, Laura. You are amazing 🫶

Laura is an extremely talented photographer, and it is clear she simply loves what she does. Nothing is too much trouble - Laura is willing to help with recommending other suppliers or advising on ideas, and will help you schedule your day, right down to the finer details. There is really no need to worry, as Laura will look after you! She is naturally very good with people, and knows how to interact with those of all ages and walks of life. Our guests felt very relaxed with Laura directing them, so that our perfect shots could be captured. One of my bridesmaids commented that she wished she had had a female photographer - and one as lovely and talented as Laura. Laura makes the effort to capture the finer details, and the precious moments that may otherwise have been overlooked - such as the fun of getting ready with bridesmaids (which you may not necessarily get, or have the same experience with, a male photographer), and the Father of the Bride's face upon seeing his daughter for the first time as a bride 😊 Thank you so much for capturing our wedding so beautifully, Laura, we are forever grateful that we chose you. We hope to see you again very soon. Love Mr & Mrs Wicker xxx

We have chosen Laura to be our wedding photographer and after meeting her in person, we are so glad we did! Our pre-wedding engagement photo shoot went amazingly. She made us feel special, helped two very awkward people look confident and on top of that, Laura is one of the most down to earth people we have ever met. We feel at home with Laura and cannot wait for our wedding day! We highly recommend.

From the moment we first met Laura we felt so at ease with her and we knew our wedding guests would too. Laura arrived on our wedding day at the agreed time and immediately started clicking away. All the photos that Laura captured are a detailed picture reminder of our day. She captured every detail so, so well and we are in awe looking back over our photos of how little moments were captured so perfectly. We love that Laura mingled with all our guests making them feel at ease and relaxed allowing her to capture the most beautiful, natural shots. Many people have since commented how lovely Laura is and how amazing our wedding photos are - we know! We can’t thank you enough Laura for all your support on the day and for capturing our day from early morning into the night so perfectly. We are so truly grateful to you. Thank you 😘

We love working with Laura from Freeform images and have experienced her work during weddings, branding and wedding photoshoots, family portrait sessions and capturing a range of other events. She's completely reliable, organised and respectful and a wonderful warm presence, able to put nervous subjects at ease. She will quietly capture the little details and moments with sensitivity, but is also assertive enough to organise the groups when needed. Highly recommended!

Have had the pleasure of working with Laura on many occasions and her energy and genuine care is tangible. She really captures the most beautiful colourful and natural images. Would absolutely recommend.

"From the first moment we spoke with Laura we knew we wanted to have her as our photographer. Laura has been the friendliest, most helpful person we have dealt with throughout our whole process of getting married"

Wedding Photography FAQs

Absolutely. I photograph weddings across Devon, Cornwall and Somerset, from coastal venues and countryside estates to relaxed celebrations a little further off the beaten track. I’m based in the South West and happy to travel wherever your day takes me, so just get in touch with your plans and I can confirm availability and any travel details.

Not a problem, Cornwall, Devon & Somerset are incredibly popular wedding locations for couples from London and across the UK, I regularly shoot weddings for couples who have chosen to travel down for their special day. If you are not travelling down to the South West before the wedding day, I am more than happy to have a meeting via Zoom, What’s App or Facetime.

Yes, I cover weddings across the UK and beyond. If you like my photographic style and want to book me as your wedding photographer, I am happy to put together a bespoke quote for you. For couples that are looking for a wedding photographer abroad, I am available to travel to where you are getting married. Contact me to find out more.

I shoot throughout the day, editing down the best shots to provide a lasting record of your wedding day. For the average full day wedding shoot you will receive approximately 800+ fully edited and print ready images. For an elopement it would be 450+ as I am with you for a shorter time.

A pre wedding photoshoot provides not only an opportunity to capture a lasting record of you and your partner before the actual wedding day, it also serves as a great way to deal with any nerves that you may have about being photographed. Throughout the photoshoot I talk you through how to relax in front of the camera. I also use the photoshoot to show you how to effortlessly create natural stylish poses by addressing questions such as “what do I do with my hands?” and “what are the best ways to stand in front of the camera?”. The tips you get from this session can prove to be invaluable to getting the best out of the photography on your wedding day.

Yes you can! Albums are available with all packages on request including a variety of sizes. Smaller sized albums are perfect gift for relatives too!
