Rebecca and James20:12 21 Mar 21Eleanor is such a warm, professional and talented photographer. From the first interaction with her when we enquired... about her shooting our wedding, we knew she was just the person to involve in our big day, incredibly friendly with just the style we were looking for. Though our wedding has been postponed (a time through which Eleanor has been really supportive), we had a belated engagement shoot and it was wonderful. Both of us were nervous to have our photos taken but Eleanor knew exactly how to put us at ease and had an amazing eye for the surroundings. We were absolutely delighted with the photos and go into our wedding with 100% confidence that Eleanor’s photos will be perfect and ones we can treasure forever. We can highly, highly recommend her.read moreNick E14:56 12 Feb 21My partner and I used Eleanor's services for our November 2020 wedding, having first seen her in 2018 at a wedding... fair. She was amazing to work with, especially given we'd had to re-plan our wedding multiple times due to government lockdowns. When we were finally able to get married, it was with a 48 hour notice and Eleanor did all she could to make sure we were still able to have wedding photos and a special day. We would recommend without any hesitation.read moreHayley Daniels11:58 12 Feb 21Eleanor is an amazing photographer. She shot some business photographs for me and to say I’m made up with them is an... understatement. If I ever get married I will 100% have Eleanor shoot my wedding photographs, she has such a talent. I never normally like ‘professional’ photos of myself, but Eleanor’s skills have changed my opinion! Thank you so much El!read moreLaura C19:28 31 Jan 21Eleanor was our wedding photographer and was absolutely fantastic. She was so calm and professional on the day, and... also took all necessary precautions to be Covid-secure. Lots of guests commented how lovely she was and that she put everyone at ease, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Our wedding wasn't exactly the day we planned because of restrictions, but it was a truly special, happy day, and Eleanor captured all the magic and beauty; we're so grateful to have such stunning photos as a memory - thank you! We thoroughly recommend Eleanor.read moreDina Slater21:29 28 Jan 21I can’t recommend Eleanor highly enough.

About Me
Surrey Wedding Photographer
This is me, Eleanor. I am creative wedding photographer based in Surrey. I find inspiration from the people I meet, the places I’m in and the worlds I find within books.
I haven’t always been a wedding photographer. Once upon a time, I was a baby: born to a vicar and a french teacher. I soon developed a love for people and an admiration for human interaction. When I became an adolescent, I was given my first camera and that is when I’d say I became a photographer.
The camera came everywhere with me: throughout Europe, Australia and Africa. It was by my side at school, sixth-form and university (BA Graphic Communication, Bath Spa). I’ve now been photographing weddings since 2013 and it’s part of who I am. It draws together all the things I love in life and it thrills me to know the images I take will be passed on for generations to come.
Whether your wedding is taking place in London, Surrey or further afield I would love to provide beautiful wedding photography that captures your story.
Wedding Albums
Bespoke and Personalised
As well as providing Wedding photography I offer personalised, bespoke wedding albums. Your photographs can be presented in exceptionally high quality albums which will last the years. My aim is to create a timeless heirloom that can be passed on to generations to come.
Family Photographer in Surrey
Family Photoshoots are fun filled experiences where I capture candid smiles, surprises, laughter and anything in between. I’ll create a time capsule which you can look back on in years to come.
Family Photoshoot are done outdoors where I maintain social distancing measures. We can take in a scenic walk in Surrey or head to the royal parks near London.
Eleanor's an absolute gem! From the very first email and meeting to the delivery of our wedding photos, she had a lovely, sunny demeanour the whole way through. Her patience and professionalism shown through during the process of corralling my rather large and boisterous family for group shots.
