Gemma & Luke

Our Story

“About an hour in to our first date back in October 2017, Luke stepped out to go to the toilet. Once he was out of earshot, an elder gentleman sat at the next table turned to me and went "so when's the wedding?" I laughed and explained how it was only our first date, yadda yadda yadda, and he replied "what?! No way! You seem like you've been together for years."  Fast forward to October 2022, we became Husband and Wife! “

A beautiful autumn wedding at Kersey Mill, Ipswich, Suffolk Oct 2022.

A little bit of rain, a little bit off sun and lots of fun with amazing people. Gemma and Luke definitely know how to party and how to enjoy the day.

Baby Boy Reuben and his Family

Life style newborn session with cute baby Reuben and his family on a very hot summer day in 2022. Even Dog had an amazing day with few extra treats. If you ever ask me if dogs are allowed to join the shoot, the answer will be “ABSOLUTELY”. I love dogs and their are part of the family after all, plus dogs make shoots so much more fun.

“I’m so glad I booked to have a Newborn Shoot with Anna. From the get go she made me and my partner feel so relaxed, made a massive fuss of our lil one and was superb with our fur baby as well! The whole day was so special and magical, and when we received our gallery it honestly made me so emotional! The photos were just stunning, Anna did such a wonderful job of capturing us in our newborn bubble! 

If you are contemplating having a newborn shoot go for it! And you definitely have to book with Anna! She is amazing!! “

Chloe and Luke

Baby Mateo

“Having a photoshoot 8 days postpartum felt incredibly daunting but the day of the photoshoot is one of the fondest memories I have from our first few weeks as new parents. Postpartum for me was a time where I felt very self-conscious and a photoshoot didn’t seem the most desirable idea; I’m sure many new mums can relate. Please don’t let this stop you having a newborn shoot. When you look back at the pictures, the only thing you’ll notice is the love you have for your new perfect family and you’ll be so happy you captured them early memories. The rawness of the images is what makes them so precious. 

When I found Anna’s page during my pregnancy, I loved how authentic and timeless her photography was and I knew I needed to book a newborn shoot for my family. Anna made us feel so comfortable and truly made the experience very special. We found it to be a completely stress free experience. Anna has magic powers when it comes to soothing your baby and she allows for plenty of time for feeds and changes. Everything is worked around your babies needs.

I will treasure these images forever;

The newborn stage is so surreal and before you know it, they’re no longer a newborn, and it’s so lovely to have such beautiful images that capture the magic of them first few weeks. The newborn photoshoot gives you the perfect opportunity to get up and ready and make yourself feel great whilst doing something a little bit different. We found it to be a real bonding moment for our family- an uplifting and memorable experience. 

If you’re thinking about booking a newborn photoshoot, then message Anna and book it- you’ll regret it if you don’t! “

The Family Gets Together

“Anna has photographed our growing family several times over the past few years. She goes the extra mile and we’ve always been delighted with the results, so I was really pleased to be gifted a photoshoot with her from my Mum and sisters. They opted for an extended family shoot which turned out to be a brilliant idea. Anna is very experienced at directing large groups and entertaining children whilst she’s at it! One of the best things about an extended family shoot is getting shots of everyone together but also having a range of different groupings. Anna was also able to get the shots of all the children together that we never have been able to achieve.”

Marley and Molly

Mummy and me sessions are always very popular and so special. Easy , relaxed and full of fun shoots. Mums are always hiding behind the camera and hardly ever get photos of them and their babies.

We had gorgeous winder sunset with Marley bear boy and Molly at beautiful Dunwich woods back in December 2022. Golden hour in December is around 2pm and until 3pm, so its so much easier to photograph little ones in the winter compared to summer golden hour which is around 7:30-9pm.

As a typical toddler Marley did not stop running around and splashing puddles, which made the session so fun.

They do grow up so fast and they change every months at this age, little sessions lille mummy and me always help to keep memories of them at any age!!!

Vicky and Mark

Butley Priory is an unique venue full of history which is set in Woodbridge, Suffolk . It was described by Vogue as “one of the most romantic houses in England” and one of my most favorite places to work. 

Butley priory definitely has that WOW factor, as soon as you drive into their ground. The gardens, fields and forest around it , makes it more beautiful and you feel hidden away from the world.   When you are there you feel like you have stepped into history. 

Butley priory has gorgeous light rooms with tall and unique ceilings that can be used for your ceremony or your wedding breakfast. It has beautiful stairs which lead to the top floor with romantic looking bedrooms and breathtaking giant windows (I love using windows for photos every time I am there).

Vicky's and Mark's story  

"First date 19/3/2016 Mark took me to a tapas restaurant for lunch except the restaurant wasn’t there! He checked online on his phone and it had moved so we had to go find it …. A bit awkward on a first date lol. We found it though and had a lovely time chatting and getting to know each other. 

After 18 months Mark said he was applying for a job in Suffolk (we lived in Lancaster). It was a leap of faith but one year later we said goodbye to family and friends and made the move."

 How he proposed 

“Mark proposed on valentine's day 2020 by writing it in my valentines card….. which I didn’t read at first, I read the first bit then put the card down because we’d written the same thing! He said read the rest lol. “ 

"We Got married after covid had calmed down and wanted it to be just close family and friends not just to celebrate our marriage but for everyone to be able to come together and spend a memorable few days together. We loved Butley Priory, it was the first and only place we viewed." 

Wedding inspiration from Vicky

Intimate celebration with friends and family. Soft colours (dusky pink, white), natural elegance!

Thorpeness Country Club

is a hidden gem that remains wonderfully timeless and a unique place for Suffolk coastal Weddings. This venue is in a little village of Thorpeness with a fascinating history.  A place where everyone could enjoy the magic and innocence of a traditional seaside holiday.  Stunning location for a wedding with the view at the stunning unspoilt beach. 

Why have you chosen Thorpeness country club for your wedding?

"My grandparents bought a holiday home in Thorpeness for the family, when I was a baby I was going there ever since. We also spent almost two months after the first lockdown there which we loved. Thorpeness has a special place in our hearts so we wanted to get married there."

Wedding style, colours and inspiration. 

Helena has chosen very classy coastal blue as the main colour which was running through the flowers and decor. The main room had absolutely stunning white drapes throughout the ceiling, which  made the room look extremely beautiful. 

"We want the wedding to have a relaxed feel and party vibe!"

I can assure you my feet hurt from dancing that night, so much love and laughter in one room!

Daisy & Dan

Daisy’s and Dan’s Romantic Story

“Dan proposed to me in rome, in an orange gardens, right next to where you look through a key hall where you can see the Vatican across the city. Dan got down on one knee, I said yes and asked him to quickly get up as tourists started to take photos of us we sat in the orange gardens and drank wine. “

How It All Started

“Dan and I went to secondary school together. I was travelling in Australia’s and dan started messaging me as friend. We went for a beer to catch up when I got back, we didn’t know if it was a date or not…“

Choosing Our Wedding Venue

“A friend recommended the venue to us, the venue is absolutely beautiful and had room for the girls to roam and play. The venue was very accommodating and I had the freedom to DIY the wedding from start to finish”

Bridal prep was at local Hotel/Restaurant The Crown, Framlingham

Ceremony at Gorgeous Framlingham Church followed by photo shoot for B&G near famous Framlingham Castle (if you love Ed Sheeran’s music , yes that’s the Castle on the hill).

After that we had a little drive to the beautiful new wedding venue The Stables , Tannington hall.

Wedding Planning

“We arranged our wedding 5 times! We were due to wed in Kent 6 years ago but we had Phoebe, we planned the following year but we’re surprised by twin girls, autumn and Sienna. The wedding took a back seat until the girls were old enough to be a part of it.

“ My dress still fit ” !!!”

Wedding colours - classy white and sage greens, always a win in my eyes.

I met Daisy and Dan 3-4years before the wedding. To be honest I met Dan first as I did an art project at Southwold primary school and Dan was teaching there. The I met Daisy and the girls , we had a family photo shoot at Thorpeness beach. It was fun crazy shoot for sure.

Straight after their family shoot, they have booked me for their wedding, but then unfortunately we had to move it due to covid restrictions. While we were waiting, we met a few more times, for their family photos and Daisy’s new business photos.

It was amazing to watch girls grown and build an amazing friendship. Every time I meet the girls on their days out near ice-cream shop in Aldeburgh, I get my big squashy cuddles. Even at the wedding day girls were my 3 cute little besties. and fed me with sweeties, ha-ha.
