STORY
Growing up in a little countryside village on the border of North Lincolnshire/South Yorkshire, I always had a love for the beauty of nature and the little things in life. Those tiny moments that make you smile in the day-to-day. Mirroring my Grandad, who taught me no limits in creativity, I ventured into the art of painting. As I grew older I discovered photography, exploring and making mix media art. Photography then became my love and I moved to London to pursue a career in Fine Art Photography. I attended the University of Westminster and completed a BA Hons in Photographic Arts.
Wedding photography captured my attention and alongside my degree I began shooting love. The art of documenting life inspired me, capturing the small moments in-between. Like a puzzle piece connecting, I knew weddings were now part of me.
Living in Tunbridge Wells for 7 years with my partner Jack, I built up my business and shot over 200+ incredible couples. In 2020 we decided to uproot our lives, sell our house and move back to my hometown in with family. My parents own a beautifully converted farmhouse and if the pandemic taught us anything, family is super important to us, so we have been back in the Yorkshire countryside ever since.
I love spending time in my allotment, tending to my fruit and veg on summer days. I love walking with Jack and Pepper and in the autumn/winter you’ll find us hiking for miles. Vintage shopping, car boot sales and second hand rummages are my favourite. In-between weddings you’ll find me in my studio creating props and sets for my art.
APPROACH
I’ve been capturing weddings in the UK and beyond for over 11 years now and if there’s one thing I have learnt from it all, we are all so different in an incredibly beautiful and unique way. I love to capture that individual love and reflect all those heartfelt memories. Transporting you back to all those wonderful emotions giving you the ability to relive them over and over again.
It’s the biggest honour to be chosen to capture your wedding day. To be trusted with creating for you is something I will forever be grateful for, and I certainly don’t take lightly. Sensitivity and compassion is my super power, I feel deeply and I channel this into my work.
I am there to document the fun, the chaos, the precious moments, the laughter and the true reactions. To create beautiful show stopping imagery to harness your love forever.
ART
Alongside being a wedding photographer, I am a self portrait artist. I have a self converted art studio called ‘The Wonky Studio’ @thewonkystudio (on instagram). This is where you will find me building sets, making props and shooting in the down season/in between weddings! From my studio I create videos capturing my day-to-day journey of self portraiture, photography & art: www.youtube.com/HollyRoseX
