Lois Brown Photography
Lois has taken some fantastic shots , we have used in our publicity.
A word from Lois
Photographing couples tying the knot fills me with so much joy. I get such a buzz from so many aspects of the day. I get just as excited about the day as you do!
My approach to wedding photography is pretty relaxed and informal. I prefer to shoot "incognito" and get those natural, paparazzi style shots, seizing those moments as they happen. Most of the time you won't even know that I'm there! However, I will still capture all of those little details you’ve planned, the portraits for your mantelpiece and of course those 'feel good' photos of you having fun.
