Love Notes

"Your work continues to showcase timeless elegance and heartfelt emotions, setting new standards in wedding photography."

VOGUE

“Thank you so much for being our photographer on our special day. You were the first vendor that we booked because we knew that we just had to have you! You and Matt were such a pleasure to work with on the wedding day and also for our pre-wedding shoot. You made us feel so comfortable and the directions you gave made us look so effortless and beautiful. We had a quick look at our photos last night and they are so gorgeous. Everything you capture becomes magical. We absolutely cannot wait to show your beautiful work to our family and friends!”

MICHELLE & MAX

“I received my photos and we’re thrilled! They are so stunning, thank you so much for your work and guidance or I would have been an awkward mess! Your work is amazing and we couldn’t be happier! You don’t realise what difference you make in our lives that we have gorgeous photos to hang in our house and look back on.”

FELICITY & TONY 

“THANK YOU so much for everything you did on our wedding day. Elle was wonderful, and I cannot speak of her highly enough. She made the day even more amazing. We are honoured to share your photos!”

GUNEET & MARCUS

“Wow! We absolutely love our photographs! We wanted to say a massive thank you to Maddy and the rest of your team for creating such beautiful memories for us. My great uncle Helmut Newton was quite a well known photographer, and so photography is a big thing in my family! I am so thrilled that we made the decision to go with you for our wedding day, as everything was captured so beautifully. I cannot wait to show them to the rest of my family and friends.”

AUDREY & CHRIS

"These are honestly phenomenal! We sent them out to the entire MECCA HQ yesterday and the response was overwhelming! Thank you, thank you, thank you."
