Lou May Elopements & Intimate Weddings

They all are in their own unique way... ❤

EVOCATIVE | CINEMATIC | AUTHENTIC | UNIQUE | ROMANTIC

The experience that I give to my couples throughout their journey with me

YOU BRING THE VIBE! If you’re chilled out, let your hair down and embrace the day, all of your guests will follow suit and enbrace every second with you. Conversely, if you’re stressed out, worried about everything going to plan and fretting over all the little details, this will filter through to your guests too. People won’t remember the favours, but they will remember all the feels and the fun! By the time your wedding comes around, you’ve done all the hard work, whatever happens on the day is exactly how your day is meant to unfold - embrace it! Live, feel and love EVERY moment to the max ❤

Less of a thing and more of approach, but for me it's couples focusing on the people around them and spending time with them and embracing the real meaning of their day, rather than prioritising the details and the styling for the reels.

Once you get in touch, we arrange to have chat, so that you can get a feel for if I'm a great fit for your day. If everything falls into place, we confirm your date in the diary with a 25% deposit. I then send you lots more information with a questionnaire so that we can start getting to know each other better -building this trust between us is the foundation for honest, real photos. If you've selected my all-day coverage with a Connection Session included we start making plans and sharing our vision for this too :) We keep in touch in the lead-up to your wedding and once you've filled in a questionnaire to tell me all the details about your day we have another call to chat it through and make sure we're all on the same page, then.... Wedding Day!!! ❤ I deliver you a little peek of your photographs within a few days of your wedding and then spend the next few weeks, lovingly curating and editing your full gallery to recount narrate the story of your day, with all the love and emotion!

I think this is less about 'a photo' and more about an experience. I suggest to all of my couples that they take at least 10, maybe 30 minutes out together - and this isn't for a photoshoot! But just to stop, catch their breath and spend a moment just together on their day to reflect on their ceremony and embrace the moment... Having this special time captured naturally and authentically is the No.1 photo to get.

Embrace it! Dance barefoot in the rain! Or bring lots of brollies, some cute wellies or your walking boots and always have a plan B just in case!

After working creatively for years with photography as a hobby, I left my family business to follow my heart and a make a career doing something I loved. I was photographing events and some fashion and helped someone out at a wedding in 2016 and was hooked! I just knew this was what I was meant to do ❤
