Snapdragon Photography Full Description
Photography has always been a part of my life. My mother has always loved photography and I guess the passion is in my genes. As a child I would spend hours posing for family photographs and growing up I enjoyed attending photography classes where I would develop my photos from negatives in a 'dark room'. Nowadays, I focus my inquisitive nature and creativity to capture sophisticated, interesting images. I really appreciate the importance of having memories recorded. Your wedding day is a memory you certainly want to preserve. I'd love to capture those truly special and intimate moments for you to look back on so the memories never fade. My style of wedding photography is simple, natural and timeless. Take a look at my portfolio and if you like what I do, please get in touch.

Our perfect wedding day

Kayleigh, where do we possibly start with how amazing she is. We are so so unbelievably happy we chose Kayleigh to capture our wedding. We booked Kayleigh in September 2022 & our wedding was June 2024 so we had a LONG wait, what felt like forever. However from the moment we booked Kayleigh we knew we had the right photographer even before meeting her! During the period before our wedding we got chatting a lot, gotten to know each other quite well! Her sense of humour is absolutely top tier and she was just so helpful through the whole process. Neither of us have had professional photos before so we were nervous especially me as I’d lost all confidence after having our 2 kids, but she makes you feel so comfortable. She gave us so much advice leading up to our wedding even down to where to have our confetti cannons, we knew we wanted loads of confetti but wasn’t sure where to put it in and she listened to our first dance song & the next song we had right after and she chose the perfect times for the confetti! Kayleigh is the photographer that you feel is actually a friend & guest at your wedding, she manages to get photos you don’t even know you wanted and that for us is amazing as we adore natural photos. She is also genuinely just as excited for your day as you are! She got along with every guest, and every single person has mentioned how amazing she was on the day! You can see her passion for photography and it truly shows in every single one of our photos. Our kids absolutely adore her, especially Cam as he had her racing him around Whistland pound on our engagement shoot. We really feel we have gained another friend in Kayleigh & we just cannot explain how amazing she is at her job, her photos are absolutely timeless and they are just everything we’d hoped for and more!! Kayleigh, you are unbelievably talented and professional and just an amazing person all around, we cannot express how grateful we are to have had you share our day with us. Love Mr & Mrs Welch x “And we’re the 3 best friends that anyone could have”

Kayleigh is fantastic at her job!

From the first time I contacted Kayleigh I knew we had chosen the right person to photograph our wedding! She takes the most beautiful photos and really makes you feel at ease, I usually hate my photo being taken but Kayleigh makes the process enjoyable, plus everyone at our wedding loved her, she was so lovely to all of our family and friends. We cannot thank you enough for capturing our day for us Kayleigh, I recommend you to anyone who even mentions the word wedding! 😀

We have no words for just how amazing she truly is

She made two very socially awkward and camera shy people feel so incredibly comfortable. She is so easy to talk to and makes everyone around her feel so at ease while she snaps the most beautiful pictures. She blended into our day so incredibly well and captured moments I will treasure forever & even managed to get some amazing pictures of two toddlers and all of us together, which is a miracle in itself! I would recommend Kayleigh to absolutely anyone looking for a photographer

"We can’t thank Kayleigh enough..."

Kayleigh has such a natural talent. She made us feel so at ease and captured our want for a ‘down to earth feel’ perfectly. We had so many little surprises of beautiful photos we didn’t even realise were being taken and the most adorable photos of our children that we will treasure. We can’t thank Kayleigh enough for providing us with so many beautiful memories of our special day!

"... we are just completely blown away"

...On the day it was just lovely having Kayleigh around she's such a genuinely nice, friendly person who you’d more than happily have at your wedding. She fit in so well with everyone and felt like the wedding party by the end! We felt so at ease & comfortable when having our photos taken and even though the weather wasn’t the best Kayleigh made sure we took every opportunity that was given to have some amazing photos out on the grounds.

"...she made us feel so comfortable..."

Kayleigh was fantastic for our wedding day! We’re not really photo people but she made us feel so comfortable and didn’t push us into anything. Our photos were so candid and genuine, she also did a brilliant job getting a photo of every single guest! Everyone has commented on how great they are. She made an effort to chat to our guests and just got on with everyone so well. If we ever wanted photos done again I 100% would choose Snapdragon.

"...my maid of honour fell in love with you!"

Kayleigh, I don’t think I can put into words how pleased we are with our photos. We laughed a lot looking back at them. There are some absolutely stunning pictures of everyone in there which is impressive considering the amount of alcohol consumed. You’re seriously skilled at getting flattering pictures under difficult circumstances. You managed to capture every single important moment of our day so subtly and blended in perfectly. You went above and beyond!

"She went way above and beyond..."

Kayleigh was an absolute gem to work with! She went way above and beyond what we ever could have expected. We wanted a very simply, yet unique, elopement. Since we were travelling from Canada to the UK, Kayleigh went and scoped a beautiful location for us in advance. She picked the perfect spot!! Besides her work ethic and eye for beautiful photos, she is also a pleasure to be around. She is cool and relaxed, and was exactly the vibe we wanted for our private ceremony. 11/10 recommend Kayleigh!

"I would 100% recommend Snapdragon Photography..."

She has a true talent for what she does! She works efficiently and calmly getting all the shots you want plus 100’s more. She is fast as turning photos around and getting them back to you. We received sneak peek images the day after the wedding which was an absolutely perfect surprise!!

"Kayleigh was an absolutely amazing photographer"

Firstly, the quality of the pictures were so professional and lovely. We mainly wanted candid shots and just a few groups, which was definitely delivered. She managed to remain out of sight a lot of the time yet still achieved so many great shots of everyone there... We highly recommend her and she did everything with a smile and a positive attitude. Thank you so much for helping us relive a wonderful day!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

It has to be the wedding that wasn't a wedding. The Groom had a heart attack the morning of the wedding - he's absolutely fine and made a full recovery! I persuaded the Bride to let me come along anyway as everything was still going ahead apart from the ceremony (and the Groom being there!) and she was so grateful I did. You can read all about it in my blog.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Natural, relaxed, candid, fun, arty

What about your business are you most proud of?

That I went to full time photographer whilst having a baby. Running your own business is so hard without a child thrown in the mix! But I'm doing all of this for my son and to follow my passion. I feel so lucky to be able to do this.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Be sure to take some time out together. The day passes so quickly so I think it's really important for couples to just sit back, soak it all in and enjoy the feeling.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

A table plan that was made of every individual persons polaroid!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Once a couple confirmed they would like to book me for their day I send over a booking form and contract for them to fill out and return, a booking fee is also required at this point. All of these three secure the date! A couple of months before the wedding I meet up with the couple over Zoom, to run through the day and discuss any particular photo's they would like. Six weeks before the wedding, the remaining balance is to be paid. Then all that's left is for me to capture all their special moments on their big day! I go into more detail about this in my pricing guide. If you'd like a copy let me know! :)

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

GROUP / FAMILY PHOTOS. I know they're not the most popular and everyone prefers the more natural, candid images. However, I find these are timeless photos that get passed down to generations. They don't have to take ages on the day, I have a very efficient way of working through them. You don't realise the importance of them, until it's too late.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

A Grooms odd socks!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Embrace it. You can never guarantee the weather in the UK so you shouldn't spend time stressing over something you have no control over. I do what I can to make sure you still receive great photo's, despite the rainy weather.

Describe how you got into photography.

My mother inspired me when I was younger and I even took a course on how to develop your own film in a dark room (super cool!). I never knew this could be a profession until my husband and I got married and I was searching for a photographer. This ignited my love for photography. I want to make couples feel how I felt when receiving my wedding photos, excited, emotional, happy... all the feels!
