Ursula formed the rough ideas we had into a beautifully realised theme and we are delighted with the results of our session. Her creativity and enthusiasm resulted in images we will cherish forever and we all had a great time to boot!

Ursula did a fantastic job on our wedding photos. We wanted a relaxed day without a huge chunk disappearing on photos & that is exactly what we got. The required shots were taken without fuss, and supplemented with a gorgeous selection of pics that captured the mood of the day perfectly. She was invisible when she needed to be, but yet seemed to be in the right place for all the right moments. Our album is a perfect reminder and memento of a beautiful day!

What can we even say. We just received our photographs from Ursula and we are blown away. We have laughed, loved and even had a few tears at them. I asked Ursula for more of a natural feel & she did just that. We have got so many compliments! Our album is just perfect. Thank you so much Ursula, you have captured our day the best way- with love.

Cannot recommend this lady highly enough! From the first time we met her, she put my husband and myself completely at ease and we were raving about her work from the get-go! She is a true professional and we loved having her with us on our wedding day- a very special lady! X

Ursula took our wedding photos in November 2016 and we absolutely loved them. She is so lovely to work with and is super organised. Ursula was great on the day of the wedding, with a relaxed approach but keeping us on time. We loved our photos when we got them only a few weeks after the day! I would highly recommend Ursula as a wedding photographer.
