Hi, I'm Mimi 👋
Friendly

"If anyone asks how our wedding was and the best bits - I easily can say hiring such a wonderful photographer and receiving the most amazing pictures is the highlight capturing our day perfectly."
Hey! I'm Mimi! I am a full-time wedding photographer as that is my true passion. I am Canadian (and still have my accent) and moved here to study photography at Uni 17 years ago, and well...never left! I am now a mother of two young (crazy) girls living in the East Midlands. I am super easy-going, fun, and I aim to make my couples feel comfortable in front of the camera. I love capturing candids mostly that show personalities :)

Mimi Foster Photography Full Description

I'm a calm presence on your wedding day and take unobtrusive, candid photos, with a flare for natural couples photos!

Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to look through my photos. I'm super grateful that you're here!

I’ve been obsessed with photographing people and real moments since I can remember. 17 years ago I followed my passion across the world and moved from Canada to the UK to study photography at University in Derbyshire, where I am now based.

I fell truly passionate about weddings after my own, so I'm not just a photographer - I love all things wedding! And as a former bride, I completely understand and relate to the planning process, alongside the excitement, which you're probably feeling right now.

My favourite things to photograph are real moments, laughter, fun, and people enjoying themselves.

I also love capturing natural, romantic couples photos. My main priorities for your day are candid moments throughout, and some beautiful photos of the two of you. Because if you're anything like me and my husband, we don't have many good photos of ourselves! And I want to make sure I capture you both looking and feeling your best! Having said that, I don't believe your wedding is a photoshoot, so I do the best I can to also ensure you enjoy your day!

I am a pretty chill person, so on the day itself I work calmly but also take charge when it's needed. I aim to feel like a natural part of the day and feel unobtrusive.

Outside of photography, my world revolves around my two 4 year old girls, which means life is very loud and never dull. Being a mum is by far my greatest joy aside from wedding photography.

If you think we are a good fit, then I would absolutely love to hear about your special day!

Beautifully captured!
Mimi was incredible from the beginning to end of our wedding day! It was a very busy one with a high demand on her to satisfy many requests and she did so very patiently and professionally! We are so grateful for how calm and caring she was throughout. The photo quality was incredible and we can’t stop looking through them all, such fond memories have been so beautifully captured! Thank you so much Mimi x

We are so happy with the results!
We loved having Mimi taking pictures at our wedding. Planning with her beforehand was so easy and so professional. We could tell that she’s very experienced. We were worried that the two of us might look weird in our wedding pictures because we wouldn’t know how to pose. But she guided us and told us what to do which helped a lot. At the same time she was open for our ideas and wishes. We are so happy with the results! And we love how she edited them!

Couldn’t be happier we picked Mimi
Couldn’t be happier we picked Mimi. We were thrilled with the photos they were just what we wanted and asked for -warm and full of the moment. She was so patient and attentive to everything we had asked for during the madness of the big day. Fun and relaxed approach but managed to get everything we wanted! Especially appreciated how discrete and professional she was during the service being able to maneuver around to get those special photos. Amazing photos we will cherish forever- thanks Mimi!

Mimi is the one!
Got in touch with Mimi to photoshoot our wedding and we were SO impressed! The planning was amazing, Mimi’s photography style and organisation on the day was amazing and most of all the shots were of such an excellent standard! Also all the candid shots we didn’t even realise were taken until looking through the album were such a nice surprise! If you’re looking for an amazing photographer and such a friendly service, Mimi is the one! Thanks so much!!! Nick and Lydia

Highly, highly recommend!
We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Every photo is stunning, and it truly feels like we get to relive the day all over again. The way the moments were captured is so natural and beautiful. On the wedding day itself, Mimi was amazing, coordinating everything so smoothly and capturing the perfect shots without us even realizing half the time. It made the whole experience effortless, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Highly, highly recommend!

Everything we wanted and more!
Mimi was our photographer for our wedding in June. We’re both awful in front of the camera and wanted someone who would put us at ease, but mostly, to take photos of the joy of the day, the smiles on our guests faces and bits we might have missed in the chaos of it all. Mimi did not disappoint. From the moment she walked in the door she put us all at ease. She captured memories that we will cherish forever. The photos have captured everything we wanted and more! Can’t thank you enough Mimi!

She was our BEST decision of the whole process.
Mimi was our wedding photographer this year. She is warm, easy to work with and prioritises what you want. So professional yet funny, and put us completely at ease. She was our BEST decision of the whole process. I cannot recommend Mimi enough!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

How do we secure our date?

Once I’ve confirmed that your wedding date is available, I’ll send over your contract to review and sign, along with details to pay the £350 booking deposit. The remaining balance is due six weeks before the big day. Once the contract is signed and the deposit is paid, that’s it - your date is officially secured.

Is travel included in the price?

Yes - travel is included within the UK for both full day and half day packages. For weddings outside the UK, please get in touch and I’ll be happy to provide a bespoke quote.

How do you handle family photos on the wedding day?

Although my photography style is natural and documentary-led, group photos are still an important part of the day. Around 8 weeks before your wedding, I’ll ask you to share a list of the group photos you’d like so we can stay organised and move through them efficiently. That way, we get everything covered without taking you away from enjoying your day.

Do you offer engagement sessions?

I do - and I really encourage my couples to book one if they can. It’s such a lovely chance for us to spend a bit of time together before the wedding, and it helps you feel much more relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera on the day itself. Engagement sessions are available Monday to Friday and take place within Derbyshire and the East Midlands.

What happens if you can't shoot our wedding?

I completely understand any concerns, and I have a robust backup plan in place. I’m part of a trusted network of professional wedding photographers who could step in at short notice if ever needed. In the unlikely event that this happened, one of my photographer peers would photograph your day, and I would take care of the editing and delivery of your images as normal. This is an absolute worst-case scenario, but my priority would be to make the process as seamless and stress-free for you as possible.

How long after the wedding do we receive the images?

I will always aim to deliver the images within one month from the wedding date. However, in busier seasons it is possible it may take 6-8 weeks.

Do you backup the images? And do you have insurance?

Yes — your images are fully backed up, and I am fully insured. I use two cameras to photograph with on the day, and I shoot with dual card slots in each camera, meaning your images are recorded to two cards simultaneously in case one were ever to fail. After the wedding, all RAW files are backed up in three separate locations, including secure cloud storage, until your gallery has been delivered.

I also hold both professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If your venue requires copies of my insurance documents, I’m very happy to provide these on request.

How are the images delivered?

The photos are delivered in high-res JPGES, fully edited, via a very beautiful online gallery. You will receive a link to your gallery, and you will also have a separate link to easily share with family and friends. The gallery is extremely easy to use. You can easily download all the photos in high-res with a click of button, or if you're viewing the gallery on your mobile device, you can also download web-size photos individually. The gallery is also conveniently connected to a high-end print shop which offers albums, canvases, thank you cards, and so much more!

Do you offer wedding albums?

Yes! And I highly encourage you to get one if it's in your budget! I offer several different options and customisations so you have a lot to choose from!

How many images do we receive?

Every wedding is different. The number of images will depend on guest numbers, activities, and hours of coverage. So it's very hard to place a number which is why I can't say exactly. Having said that, I always say the minimum is roughly 500 for a full day wedding with 80 guests, and 250 for half day, but generally there will be a lot more than that.
