Lovely, friendly, professional service
Neither of us are hugely confident standing in front of the camera, however having our engagement photos really helped make us feel relaxed and happy and had a brilliant laugh. Which made us even more relaxed with our wedding photos, we were both beaming from ear to ear all day. Eleth captured all our guests through out the day which is a lovely memory to look back on. Very happy with her service would recommend her highly.

So many lovely comments!!!
We have had many comments from our guests at our wedding with regards to how Eleth handled the taking of our photographs. She was very professional, discreet and very well organised with the pre planning which made everything run like clockwork. Would highly recommend her and we are looking forward to seeing the full set of photos especially after the sneak preview ones look fantastic.

She really saved the day!!
I booked Mae Photography just over a week before my vow-renewal ceremony after my original photographer cancelled. I confess, I panic-emailed all the photographers I could find and went with the first one to get back to me - so it was pure chance that I booked Mae Photography. Sounds crazy, but I wasn’t worried - Eleth was brilliant! After only one phone call, she understood exactly what I was looking for. Even though she’d not worked at our venue before and we didn’t meet until one hour before the ceremony, she was confident, reassuring and I felt in safe hands. It all worked out perfectly - the pictures are stunning and exactly what I wanted. Eleth captured every special moment so beautifully, I can’t recommend or thank her enough - she really saved the day!
Response from the supplier
It was a bit of a whirlwind getting it all organised in a week wasn't it, but I'm glad I had the opportunity to work with you. To be present at such a special, intimate, family occasion was an honour and I'm so pleased you love the resulting photos. Your family was great and the location of your ceremony was amazing. Thank you for your kind words Jo.

They were like friends rather than suppliers
Eleth and Jason really helped make our wedding day special. They were great to work with and it was lovely to meet people who were passionate and cared about their work. Not only that but the photos themselves are better than we could have wished for. Thanks to them we have wonderful photos which allow us to relive our perfect day over and over again. On the day they arrived on time and mixed well with the guests. It was like having another couple of friends at our wedding.

What a pleasure it was to work with Eleth
What a pleasure it was to work with Eleth on our wedding photographs! She had a tough job given VERY windy weather conditions. She was very clever to be able to capture the day in the way we wanted - as a happy celebration! We were delighted with the outcome. More than just great photographs, and an amazing work ethic, Eleth is a lovely person. A massive thank you for being such an important part of our special day.

Everything was as we wanted and so much more.
Where do I start? We booked Mae photography after various date changes due to covid and what absolutely brilliant service. Everything was as we wanted and so much more. Eleth was so lovely and patient with the guests and the limited time we had. The photos are beautiful and we have lovely moments captured for us to look back on. We will be recommending to anyone that may ask.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Every wedding is so special and individual, but there is one that stands out, and you'll soon realise why. In January 2018 I took some photos for a lady for her to use on her online dating profile. A month later, she found a match! In December of that same year, I photographed her wedding! It was so lovely to have been on the journey with her right from the beginning, all the way through to the wedding.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Natural, Relaxed, Beautiful, Light & Joyful.

What about your business are you most proud of?

The foundation of Mae Photography is set in honesty and integrity. This is presented by displaying all of our prices upfront, open communication with our couples before and after their wedding day and images that tell the story of your day in a natural, honest way.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Plan the day you want, not what others pressure you into. It is your day, you only get this time once. Enjoy it.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

One that springs to mind was a church ceremony where both the bride and groom had children from previous relationships. During the ceremony, each child lit a candle to represent each side of the family, and then the couple combined them into one large candle, sybolising the unity of the two families coming together. It was a wonderful way to include two young boys into the wedding.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

We'll start off by having a chat via video call, to hear more about your wedding plans and see if I could be the right photographer for you. Once your date is secured with us, I will do a little happy dance! You can get in touch at any time to ask questions about the photography, or just wedding help in general. Your engagement portrait session is an exciting time when we meet up, go for a stroll and take some photos of the two of you in preparation for your wedding. On the wedding day itself, I will be in and out of the shadows as needed. There are times when it's prudent to step back, observe and capture the moment, and others where I might need to give a little nudge (usually towards the good light). After the wedding, you will receive your final gallery of photos within 6 weeks, ready for you to download and share as you wish. Wedding albums are an optional extra that you can order at any time after your wedding. We highly recommend investing in a beautiful, professional album so you can sit down each year on your anniversary and relive your wedding day.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

Our couple's value time with their friends and family; your wedding party include some of your favourite people that you have chosen to share this special day with, so it is a must that we get some beautiful, but also fun photos with your wedding party.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

A really lovely one was a bride and groom that wanted to have a photo of them both holding their parents wedding portraits.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

A smile. Don't let it ruin your day, just keep on celebrating.

Describe how you got into photography.

I went to university to study photography, and luckily came away with a degree and a passion for the subject. My husband, Jason (the business brains behind the company), then helped me set up Mae Photography. 10 years on, I love what I do, and weddings is definitely where my heart is at.
