About OLD
Meet me and learn more about your wedding experience at home and abroad
Hello!
I’m Eleanor and I live overlooking the mountains in beautiful South Wales. I love road trips, birthday cake, Disneyland, trawling Instagram for home inspiration, and my two naughty rescue kittens, Salem & Cookie.
I’ve been photographing weddings for sixteen years and am thrilled to say my wedding photography has featured in many magazines and blogs including Rock n Roll Bride, Rock My Wedding, Wedding Ideas and Perfect Wedding.
I also shoot in the music industry where you’ll find me backstage and behind the scenes taking photos for bands, magazines and record labels. I even travel internationally for photoshoots – highlights include Los Angeles, New York, Nashville, New Delhi and Milan – view my music portfolio.
My Approach
We begin the wedding experience with a relaxed consultation in which we can discuss your plans for the big day. It’s a great opportunity to get to know each other, look over some sample albums and answer any questions you might have. Once you book I’ll send you a small welcome package and you’re all set!
On the wedding day I’ll arrive two hours before the ceremony to capture the bridal preparations (my favourite part of the day!) as you get ready with your closest friends and family. I love to be a part of the excitement and of course, document all of the pretty details you have chosen.
Throughout the day I mostly work in a documentary style capturing all the love and laughter you share together with your friends and family. We can set aside a short time for family group photos if you wish, before moving on to your bride and groom portraits.
Let your hair blow in the wind and your dress trail on the ground and truly enjoy these moments together. I will happily give you directions and encouragement so you’ll feel at ease showing your love and affection for one another. In return you’ll receive a gallery of beautifully edited, authentic memories to cherish.
Destination Weddings
Is there anything more romantic than an elopement? Take New York for example… imagine waking up on your wedding day overlooking the skyscrapers, the Hudson river and the beeping yellow taxis below. Eat breakfast together in the warm, cosy chaos of an old-school diner. Pick your bouquet from a flower market on Fifth Avenue (I know of one with a resident cat!) and stroll through the hustle & bustle of Central Park. Then hop on a subway and ride downtown to sign the book at City Hall – you’re officially Mr & Mrs! Afterwards dodge the fluffy white steam clouds that rise from the pavement and wander across the Brooklyn Bridge for sunset. From the water’s edge you can watch the lights as they gradually begin to twinkle all over the city, it’s magical.
I’m available for all sorts of destination weddings including elopements and post-wedding location shoots. Take a peek below and if your wedding plans match my wishlist or travel schedule, let me make you an offer you can’t refuse. If your location isn’t listed, let’s make it happen!
