Keep Exploring AELA

Your wedding deserves photographs that feel like you.

It was lovely meeting you at the wedding fair!

If you’ve picked up an AELA Keepsake, this is your little place to continue exploring what I do — from real weddings and beautiful portraits to the collections and the way I approach your day.

Art & Authenticity

Your wedding isn't a photoshoot.

It's the people who mean the world, the unscripted magic, the quiet thrill, the belly laughs, and every fleeting second in between.

My approach is effortless, natural, and gently guided when it counts — creating space for you to simply be yourselves, while ensuring every photograph feels intentionally, beautifully crafted.

Present, not posed.
Moments over performances.

Can't thank Kay enough. Looking back at all the pictures she had taken of our wedding helps me relive every moment and even created some new moments that I wasn't even aware of. Great photographer who truly goes above and beyond.

Emily & Andrew

Highly recommend Kay! From start to finish, communication was excellent before, during, and after our wedding. She was always very prompt in responding and made the whole experience feel calm and stress-free while still being incredibly organised. We felt completely at ease throughout the day, and we’re so grateful for how smoothly everything went. Thank you again for capturing our special day so beautifully!
