What my lovely
Clients thought…
“When we first read the reviews about Becky we thought they were exaggerating or too good to be true. No one could possibly be as lovely, professional and easy to be around as people were saying. I am pleased to say that we were wrong, and everything you read about Becky and the services she provides is right.
We were drawn to Becky for her love of nature and the unobtrusive feel of her work. Every photo of her portfolio seems to really capture the essence of love and connection and we hoped she would be able to do that for us too. Immediately once we met her for a zoom Becky felt more like a friend than a vendor. We were very lucky she wasn’t already booked up!
She is gentle, warm and subtle but equally unafraid to get in the middle of a ceilidh for the perfect shot! Becky made us feel totally ourselves and we frequently forgot she was even there with us. She is a respectful, calming presence but also basked in our joy and celebrations with us.
Tick one thing off your list right now and book this phenomenal photographer. You will not regret it!”

Photographing Weddings
I have always enjoyed taking and looking at pictures. My Mum was a committed album maker, and I have a cupboard at home full of snapshots of our past. I could spend hours looking through them, reliving the memories of our childhood and I treasure every single print.
When he was a teenager, my brother bought a Polaroid camera which fascinated me – the way the film printed to produce an instant image right in front of you. The pictures themselves captured the moment but looked eerily different, this captured my imagination.
We would visit family in Kings Caple, Bromyard and Docklow and I would bring my camera along to see which parts of the Herefordshire landscape I could capture.
I studied photography to A level, which gave me a very basic understanding of the technical aspects such as a sensor, exposure, shutter speed, ISO, RAW and JPEG files, as well as a few creative techniques such as the rule of thirds, leading lines, contrast, movement, emphasis and symmetry. In our first-ever lesson, we made our own Pinhole camera. These are about as basic as you get –a dark box in which you place special paper, a small hole for light to enter (essentially, your lens) and then you experiment with exposure times (shutter speed) until your work is correctly exposed. Using a darkroom, we developed our work– I can remember the first time I saw the monochrome image appearing in front of me, as the tone slowly appeared, it felt otherworldly.
Since then, my craft has hopefully improved a little! I love how clients often remark on how colourful and celebratory my images are. The day you get married will probably be one of the happiest of your life, that ceremonial moment when you walk down the aisle in your bridal gown – bridesmaids in tow – and see your groom for the first time is truly unforgettable. Whether you’re going for a traditional church wedding with a sit-down reception or a less traditional civil ceremony with an alternative marriage officiant, each wedding is truly unique.
Since 2020 there has certainly been an increase in micro weddings and elopements which are often wonderfully intimate. One of my favourite ceremonies is handfasting, which I would have loved; if we hadn’t wanted to get married in the rural Herefordshire church where my parents tied the knot.
One of the most exciting things about planning your day is getting to choose and ask all your special people to be a part of it, be that bridesmaids, groomsmen, pageboys or flower girls.
I am proudly bisexual and love to shoot LGBTQ+ celebrations. You can see more of my LGBTQ+ portfolio here.
I love shooting Herefordshire engagements, and you can find more information and see some of my work here.
In 2023 I decided to team up with a friend and now colleague Josh to offer clients joint film packages.

Herefordshire is such a special place
The beautiful county of Herefordshire
Herefordshire is a beautiful county in the West Midlands region of England. The City of Hereford has lots going for it, including the spectacular Hereford Cathedral, where you’ll find the Mappa Mundi and chained library. The River Wye winds through the county and onwards to the Wye Valley, a place I have loved visiting long before we moved to the area. The Wye Valley the Malvern Hills are the county’s two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and are always wonderful places to visit, no matter the season. Other smaller rivers include the Lugg and Teme.
Whilst Hereford is the only city in the county, some lovely towns are dotted about the place, including Leominster, Ross-on-Wye, Ledbury, and Bromyard. Leominster is home to the elegant Grange Court, and its pretty streets are certainly worth an afternoon of your time. The quintessential village of Pembridge, with its historic church and Shobdon Arches, sits within Mortimer Country and forms part of the Black and White village trail, along with other villages such as Woebley, Eardisley, and Lyonshall, to name a few.
The Golden Valley is where I live, and spreads from just south of Hereford west to Kington, on the Welsh border.
It is filled with produce and craft makers and is a wonderful place to live. Herefordshire is well known for its agriculture. Apple and pear orchards are scattered across Herefordshire and produce large amounts of the country’s cider. Well-known producers include Bulmers in Hereford, Weston’s Cider in Much Marcle, who also make Stowford Press. As well as orchards, soft fruit polytunnels dot the countryside and the county’s population swells with skilled Eastern European workers during harvest time. The Hereford cattle breed, known worldwide for its tasty meat and gentle temperament, is often used as Herefordshire’s emblem.
Singer Ellie Goulding was born in Hereford and these days gardener Monty Don lives here, at his home, Longmeadow. Cricket and football are well-loved by Herefordians, and the city’s typically bad traffic gets even worse when there are events at either Hereford United Football Club or Herefordshire County Cricket Club. There are many historical sites in the county, including Eastnor Castle, Berrington Hall, Croft Castle, and the Brockhampton Estate. Kilpeck Church sits in my next village and is always teeming with tourists. Nearby Abbey Dore Court also attracts lots of attention from historians.
The Wye Valley is an extremely popular location for holidaymakers and photographers alike, and I even spent my hen-do canoeing down its beautiful banks between Ross-on-Wye, Kerne Bridge and Goodrich. Now heavily polluted, there is hope for this beautiful river since Ellie Chowns (of the Green Party) was elected as MP in 2024.
One of my favourite places to shoot in Herefordshire has to be the Black Mountains, where I could lose endless days shooting stunning shots of the wonderful vistas.
Herefordshire has so many glorious venues, that newly engaged couples are spoilt for choice when choosing where to host their celebration. Brinsop Court Manor House and Barn sits between Tillington Common, Credenhill, and Mansel Lacy. Glewstone Court near Peterstow in southern Herefordshire has glorious views of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and good access to the M50 and A40. Much Dewchurch’s Dewsall Court is well known as being one of the more luxurious venues in Herefordshire whilst Bredenbury Court Barns is the busiest venue by far.
It has a purpose-built event space with stunning views over the Malvern Hills. Crumplebury has a mix of modern architecture, rustic barns and wonderful views over the surrounding Whitbourne setting. For smaller weddings with a more urban vibe, The Shack Revolution in Hereford City offers a cool setting.
By comparison, Homme House is a Georgian-style country house and hosts only a small number of events per year, enough to keep the building in excellent condition. Finally, Lyde Court is a 17th-century stone barn, perfect for those wanting a more informal, rustic feel.
Though I was originally born in Malvern, we moved away from Herefordshire when I was only a toddler. Though I lived away for over 30 years, many relatives remained here, and I frequently visited as a child. To this day I still have family in Herefordshire from Much Birch to Yarkhill and as far north as Leysters. In 2024 I moved my young family back to Allensmore, and now my daughter is being raised in a house just a few doors down from where her great-great-grandmother grew up in Cobhall Common. When we originally moved, almost everyone we met raved about Lock’s Garage, which is the most well-stocked petrol station you’ve ever visited!
Now, we have settled in Herefordshire and have no intention of leaving this wonderful place. Some of our favourite spots so far have been Hergest Bridge, Arthur’s Stone and Queenswood Country Park. Next on our list of places to visit include Aconbury Woods near Little Birch, Dinedor Hill and Haugh Woods, near Fownhope.
